Porn Superstar James Deen Accused Of "Rape" On Twitter Faces Ruin. Is This Fair?

josephryan1989

The world of porn is in shock after boy-next-door Bryan Sevilla aka "James Deen" has been accused of rape and sexual assault by ex-girlfriends Stoya, Joanna Angel and co-star Angel Fires on twitter.

The 29 year old self-professed "Male Feminist" who has spoken regularly on college campuses as an advocate for women's rights, is a charity fund raiser, is hugely popular as a clean cut boy-next-door among young female audiences and has sometimes acted in mainstream Hollywood movies, faces career oblivion. Feminist blogger Jenn Tinsdale who writes for the Huffington Post starred in a porn movie with James Deen along with other feminist bloggers.

No evidence has been put forward apart from allegations of rape and sexual assault on twitter and no complaint has been made to law enforcement and there is no criminal investigation. The allegations of the women were immediately believed of course and Deen who faces ruin has no recourse to defend himself since he is automatically judged guilty.

How can this be fair?

There are no repercussions for false allegations. Obviously not saying those women are liars, but even if nothing is proven there's no fear they will receive any sort of punishment.

Sorry but if Ashley Fires is saying it happened then I have to believe it happened.

Doesn't take much to shock the world of porn.

Well, there is. If proven incorrect then it's defamation and/or libel and he can sue them into bankruptcy.

Certainly not in the US. There is the avenue to sue for defamation, but it's quite difficult in the US as people will often hide behind the right to free speech and that'll be upheld by the courts.

Here in europe it's a lot more straightforward - if the accuser cannot prove their claims are true, then they are legally not true. Defamation cases where rape allegations are made though are messy. The plaintiff may simply want to bury their head until it all goes away - happy that those close to them know the truth. There's also the grey area - where the plaintiff may have had sex with their accuser and massively fear that this could be twisted into a narrative that "proves" rape.

It's a messy old business. Don't Twitter automatically delete things like this if they're reported?

Trial by social media.

He is an innocent man currently.

Why not go straight to the police if this actually happened?

Naturally the anti-sex feminists who are at "war" with the sex-positive feminists online are whooping in triumph.

Anti-sex feminists who claim that all heterosexual sex is rape hate porn and believe that all the women in the industry and in normal sexual relationships generally are victims of male patriarchy and rape culture. Some of the most extreme anti-sex feminists chose to become "political lesbians."

Sex-positive feminists are women who embrace sex as empowering and some go so far as to direct "feminist" porn and Deen himself has been known to star in these movies where the emphasis is on the emotional component of sex rather than the typical porn in white a muscle bound man with a giant penis has sex with multiple women.

Anti-sex feminists see handsome promiscuous men who have sex with lots of women as "rapists" and obviously a man like James Deen, no matter how intelligent, well spoken and politically progressive he is, is Enemy No. 1 because he has profited from having sex with literally thousands of women on film and is adored by a female audience who have embraced porn.

I remember the same thing recently enough happening with Micheal Shermer. He was accused, without any evidence, of rape and the skeptic blogosphere over night became divided into the two camps of those that believed the accusations and those that believe in innocent until proven guilty.

I get intensely uncomfortable with trial by mob scenarios of this sort. Where, without any evidence, someone can throw out an accusation and the target becomes essentially guilty in the eyes of others. A user above mentions liable and defamation. But how does one prove innocence in a case like this?

But I also hate the reality of rape, that it is such a hard crime to prosecute and prove, especially if even a modicum of time passes between the event itself and the reporting of it. It must be awful to have this happen to you, and have no way to seek justice because you have no way to prove your case.

So there is no perfect solution by any means, and it sits horribly in my stomach. I can do little but hope that justice prevails somehow and whoever IS actually guilty in this situation.... a rapist or the purveyors of liable..... get what is coming to them. But all too often in this world, that does not happen.

Because all involved are porn stars - live by the sword, etc. Look at how the whole Charlie Sheen episode has been forgotten about a week later.

You think a porn star can't be raped, or that it's just not important if they are?

I don't know any of the details of the story or any of the people involved by the way, I just find your point to be quite elusive.

In the middle of a porn shoot if a female porn star wants to stop and her co-stars ignore her and don't or she is made to do acts she doesn't want to do that is sexual assault and rape.

Sorry, no, of course I don't think porn stars can't be raped, and of course it's important that a person who is raped is taken seriously. I'm just not inclined to take anyone too seriously that makes those sorts of allegations against anyone else on social media.

Considering the industry they're all in, it strikes me as more a stupid publicity stunt than anything I should be likely to get too worked up over is all.

What seems to have happened in this case is James Deen, a highly promiscuous man, has fallen victim to female jealousy and inadequacy. Most women want to settle down and have an exclusive relationship. I would imagine his accusers were brought up expecting to one day get married, settle down and have kids. They are angry that Deen is probably not interested.
Their shelf life as porn stars is very short while a guy like Deen could be starring for decades in porn like legendary porn stars Ron Jeremy and Peter North who still make movies with girls who are between 18 and 25.
Outside of the porn set Deen can have his pick of women and probably has sex with scores of different women any given week.
To punish him these women are attacking him in the only way than can by crying rape.
Psychopathic feminists who hate men because men can have sex with multiple women and not be judged a "slut" by society or live in fear of unwanted pregnancy are naturally going to want to bring down Deen who represents everything they hate.

Well, him being a feminist I can only surmise that he is presuming his own guilt?

According to feminists, no women makes a false rape accusation. They also believe that the onus is on the accused to clear their own name, not the accuser to provide evidence. Ergo, guilty until proven innocent.

That's some theory you have there

"Porn stars are disgusting perverts who degrade themselves and so are untrustworthy subhumans"

and

"All feminists are man haters who believe that women are always right"

All inside of the first 25 posts.

There are a few posters here who could do with chatting to a therapist. Go to a man if you prefer.

I have read worse. One lovely poster on twitter seems to think that any accusation of "rape" is not applicable in the first place. Because given we are talking about "public commercial cavities", the worst crime a rapist of a porn star can be accused of is trespassing.

I can do little in the face of that other than be thankful that twitter and forums like this give voices to minorities who would otherwise go unheard, and who are not actually representative of anything at all. This is either a case of rape, or liable. And anyone starting a sentence with something like "Considering the industry they are in......" should be treated with no respect in the conversation at all.

You seem to be more focused on making this a gender issue than actually about trial by Media.
