Join adult industry attorney Corey D. Silverstein, the driving force behind MyAdultAttorney.com and Adult.Law, alongside attorney Lawrence Walters, performer, and producer Charlie Forde, and Grooby CEO Steven Grooby for the next event in Silverstein Legal’s Legal Impact series. “Age Verification Legislation: What the &^$% is Going On?!” will be live-streamed on Monday, March 20th at 4 pm ET (1 pm PT) via Zoom. During this special event, Silverstein will lead a discussion exploring why – seemingly all of a sudden – we’re seeing an increasing number of states passing age verification legislation. What does this mean for the adult entertainment community in general and free speech overall? The event is sponsored by YourPaysitePartner and will be hosted by sociologist Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals.

This issue is extremely timely and relevant, as what happens in individual US states often has the potential to spread around the globe.

“Age verification is now active in some US states, and other territories will follow,” Grooby explained. “The adult industry has been somewhat engaged, but the next few years is going to be a changing landscape as legislators for each state demand different barriers and different companies compete for a share of the income.” Forde underscored Grooby’s point, stating that, “In Australia, I’m lucky because sex work is being decriminalized state by state, and this gives me a lot of protection. America is very different, and the vast majority of payment gateways follow American laws, predominantly.” “No one in the industry wants children to be exposed to non-age-appropriate content… We want to protect children in ways that don’t result in discrimination against our industry,” Forde said. “The industry needs to be engaged because we are the only people who can really advocate for ourselves. No other industries are going to protect us.”

Legal Impact live webinar events are hosted by sociologist Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals and are produced in conjunction with exclusive media sponsor XBIZ. All live events are free to attend for all members of the adult entertainment community and will be posted subsequently on MyAdultAttorney.com, Adult.law, and XBIZ.tv.

We are highly aware that mere regulatory compliance is not enough and that MindGeek must reassure, communicate and take on a more visible leadership role. Our pre-close reviews revealed that MindGeek operates legally and responsibly. We look forward to communicating the path forward for MindGeek and its holdings." - Derek Ogden, founding partner, ECP "ECP seeks out investment opportunities in industries that require principled ethical leadership.

We believe the adult entertainment industry is being influenced by evolving public views and regulatory approaches, and the time is appropriate for evolving this business." - Rocco Meliambro, Chair, ECP

Those who were willing to talk didn't have much to say, other than they are just staying focused on getting their jobs done that on the production level, things aren't really changing.

Petite, red-headed girl next door Alexa Nova has returned to competitive mixed wrestling site Evolved Fights after a 3 year hiatus, and she’s breaking in rookie James Bondage. Alex Nova is making her triumphant return to Evolved Fights and is ready for her sixth match. She’s back on the mats and is taking on big burley rookie James Bondage. Alexa has a history of taking down big guys, so she’s confident she will walk away the victor. Little does Alexa know James trains daily, has skills, and has earned a Purple Belt in BJJ. Alexa relies on her long scissor-like legs and wraps them around her opponent to keep them from moving. It’s definitely a battle of the wills as the match goes three long rounds, and the judges decide the winner. Who will walk away with the title and the glory? You’ll have to watch to find out. The winner puts the loser in handcuffs so they can’t make an escape and will get fucked good and hard, ending in a creampie.

“It’s great to have Alexa back, and hard to believe it’s been three years since she was last on the mats. She was the perfect one to break in our new rookie, James. He definitely lives up to his wrestling name, The Brawler, and despite the fact he’s much larger than her, Alexa gives him a run for his money,” says Ariel X.

The Las Vegas native began her career in the adult industry in 2015 and has since featured in over 300 movies. Most recently, Nova has featured in MILF Lessons from the Bedroom 4 and Deepthroat Sirens Vol. 7. You can follow Alexa Nova on Twitter @msevilalexanova.
