Porn Valley- I spoke to Payton Leigh Tuesday afternoon. Leigh, 38, was victimized by a so-called porn producer who’s using the name Tom Donovan. [Donovan uses the e-mail address [email protected] ]
Leigh, through communication with Donovan on her websites, www.sexypayton.com and www.punishpayton.com, a bondage site, was offered $2,000 to do a shoot. She flew out to Phoenix on her own dime, met Donovan at the airport and Donovan took her to a hotel.
By then it was Midnight on Friday. Donovan, once he got Leigh to the hotel, then told her that he fucks all his talent. Leigh declined and that’s when Donovan pulled a vanishing act. She never saw him again and his cell phone was conveniently out of service. Because a change of flight would have cost her an additional small fortune, Leigh was stuck in Phoenix for a day and a half then returned to California Sunday morning a little bit wiser.
“He promised me a lot- two grand,” says Leigh who thought Donovan sounded legit after they had some dialogue. “I thought, okay, this all sounds on the up and up. He said he brings in girls all the time. Unfortunately I believed him. I had no reason to doubt anything. I wish I would have, now.”
Leigh has since Googled Donovan and can’t find any information on him. Not that that necessarily means anything. Donovan was using a company name called Playtime as Leigh seems to recall. She’s attempted to contact Donovan since the incident with no luck.
Leigh has been modeling since she was 16 and doing adult for about 8 months.
“Everyone I’ve worked with has been legitimate,” she says. “I’ve never had any problems until now. It’s very scary.” Leigh has been to the Valley with no previous incident and also does glamour and bikini modeling. This is her first gnarly incident.
“Besides losing a lot of money I wanted to let everyone know so that this doesn’t happen to anyone else,” Leigh says.
Remembering Natal King, I told Leigh she could count herself lucky that money is all she lost.
