GRAND HAVEN, Michigan — from www.mlive.com – With aspirations to be a film producer and actor, Sage Lewis [pictured right] tried to get his foot in the door by acting in a pornographic film in California and also shooting pornographic scenes for other productions in Chicago and Florida.

These details of the 19-year-old Holland man’s past emerged during testimony Thursday as Lewis and friend Jordan Paris stand trial amid accusations of raping a 17-year-old girl — an alleged assault that Paris’s father also took part in and filmed.

The three men were accused of taking advantage of the teen girl’s drunken state the night of June 28 at the home of Kelly Paris, the father, on East 19th Street in Holland. Kelly Paris, 44, earlier pleaded guilty to multiple felonies, including rape and using a computer to commit a crime, and was sentenced to 12-20 years in prison.

Lewis and the younger Paris admit they had sex with the teen, a friend of Lewis, but say the sex was consensual and argue she was awake, not passed out as prosecutors claim. They say they were not aware that Kelly Paris had activated the webcam video on a laptop computer in a shed containing a hot tub and bed on the Paris property.

Prosecutors allege the shed was referred to as a “sex shack” and that Kelly Paris talked of himself and his girlfriend as “swingers.”

Lewis and Jordan Paris, also 19, are charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and third-degree criminal sexual conduct. The trial began Wednesday, with key testimony from the 17-year-old, and is expected to wrap up today as Jordan Paris takes the stand.

The alleged victim, who was at the house willingly and paid someone to buy her a half-gallon of Five O’clock vodka, said she passed out sometime after getting into the hot tub and momentarily regained consciousness in the hours that followed to find Jordan Paris having sex with her and later Kelly Paris. She went to a women’s center the next morning to report being assaulted.

Jurors watched the graphic video Thursday — a recording Kelly Paris later said he tried to delete but that police recovered — as Lewis pointed out places where he believed the teen girl was participating in the sex.

On the video, Kelly Paris can be seen at the start looking into the camera and singing to “Life in the Fast Lane” as the Eagles’ song plays in the background. Prosecutors allege Kelly Paris said something about the web cam, but Lewis claimed he did not hear him.

Prosecutors say the video shows the two teen boys punching their knuckles together, apparently in exuberance, once while in the hot tub and another time at the bed.

“I was having fun. I thought everyone was having fun,” Lewis said.

Ottawa County Assistant Prosecutor Craig Bunch attacked Lewis’ past in the porn industry, including instances where Lewis got paid to remove his clothes in front of a webcam for money, and suggested he must have known the episode with the 17-year-old was being recorded.

But Lewis denied any knowledge of the webcam, except for when Kelly Paris told him about it the next morning. As for the porn industry, he said he “did feel a little bad about doing it” but saw it as a way to make money and possibly jump-start a film career.

Defense attorney Terry Nolan brought up Lewis’ past in questioning to show that the 17-year-old girl was interested in the career. Testimony from Lewis showed she asked him questions about it and wanted to view a movie trailer of the California film he had stored on his phone.
