Porn Valley- With sound and fury, Ms. Arroyo, looking pounds lighter and taking a Shakespearean exit, stormed out of a hearing today in Van Nuys which brought together members of the adult community and The Assembly Committee on Labor and Employment for California.

Ms. Arroyo, one of the adult performers who tested HIV positive in a crisis level situation that prompted the hearing, said fuck AIM, that the organization had lied to her. Ms. Arroyo’s comments came just as a panel of industry people jncluding AIM’s Sharon Mitchell were presenting testimony to the committee Friday morning and afternoon. As soon as there was a minor break in the action, TV reporters were all over Mitchell for comment as though they were sailors and she was the only action-in-port. Arroyo’s contention is that James, with a negative test, was green-lighted to work with her only to test positive days later. Mitchell’s defense is that AIM’s protocols are up to snuff and that Arroyo chose to work without a condom in a non-condom environment.

“She took work in a high risk production,” Mitchell told reporters.
