L.A. County: Need for Intervention in Porn Biz ‘Minimal’
August 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment
The L.A. County Department of Public Health has plainly stated in response to a lawsuit filed by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) that it doesn’t see a compelling public interest to require the use of condoms in adult movie production. The county filed a demurrer in response to a lawsuit brought against it from the AHF filed July 16, that demands the Department of Public Health step in and require condoms and to take other “reasonable steps” to regulate the spread of sexually transmitted diseases on adult film sets. The county responded on Aug. 18, that because the AHF only requests that stricter rules be enforced against such a small population of the county — less than .01 percent of county residents perform in adult films — that the greater public need to step in and enforce regulations is negligible. AHF has called the county’s attention to this matter “strikingly blasé” and alleges that the county has a “complete disregard” for those performing in adult films.
