"Mr. Brutsch, who was fired from his job following Gawker’s expose, is now soliciting programming work in the porn industry."
I don't know the porn industry all that well, but it does seem slightly unlikely they'd want someone with a history of pre-18 sexualisation on the team given how hard they have to fight to stay legal.
I did a bit of work in porn for a while back (when I was young and needed the money).
In one of the description of a video the editor wrote "was 17 just a day ago" to "barely 17" making the mistake to not change the number as he changed it. The forums blew up, complaints started pouring in and it was one heck of a day. The description was online for 20 minutes at most and complaints continued to trickle in for a few days after.
That being said some porn distributors wouldn't mind hiring the guy since his name would most likely not appear anywhere. It really depends on how good he is... and if he's on reddit all day long that's probably not a good thing either.
The porn industry is very well aware of the age of its performers. Pretty much any porn company will point you to its 18 USC Section 2257 record keeping (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2257). As a random example, on the front page of the site www.bangbus.com there's the following text:
"All girls appearing on this website are 18 years or older. Click here for records required pursuant to 18 U.S.C 22557 Statement."
Oh I know that side of it, but given that they have to be careful to stick within the legal framework I'd be interested how many would take the risk with a guy who's been accused of teenager sexualisation on a large scale on the internet. I'm sure a few won't care of course, he didn't break any laws after all.
Your post didn't say anything. What is this risk? Be specific, I have no idea what you think this magical risk is. You think the porn industry has "programmers can't find teenagers attractive" regulations?
