JUST days after porn star Stoya accused her porn star ex-boyfriend of rape, two more adult film actresses have come forward claiming they too were assaulted by him.
In a series of tweets over the weekend Stoya claimed her ex and frequent co-star James Deen held her down and raped her.
Now, fellow porn stars Tori Lux and Ashley Fires have alleged they too were assaulted by Deen, who has been described as porn’s “boy next door”.
In an open essay in The Daily Beast, Lux claimed Deen “ruthlessly attacked and degraded” her while on set at a major porn studio in June 2011.
The pair were not performing together but Lux claims Deen was lurking around.
She wrote that, after she finished her scene, the 29-year-old began to harass her, twice asking her if she wanted to “sniff” his testicles, to which she promptly replied no.
After the second refusal, Lux says Deen, whose real name is Bryan Sevilla, grabbed her by the throat and shoved her down onto a mattress.
“He proceeded to straddle my chest, pinning down my arms with his knees,” she wrote. “Then, he raised his hand high above his head, swinging it down and hitting me in the face and head with an open palm. He did this five or six times — hard — before finally getting off of me.
“Disoriented and nursing a sore jaw, I stood up — but before I could collect myself, he grabbed me by my hair and shoved me to my knees, forcing my face into his crotch several times before shoving me to the floor. I was completely stunned, having no idea how to react.”
Lux says she never reported the incident explaining people, including police, tended not to believe claims of assaults in the sex industry adding that she was also “afraid”.
“Despite porn being a legal form of sex work, and it occurring in a controlled environment such as a porn set, this blame-the-victim mentality is still inherent in much of society,” she wrote.
“In turn, sex workers are silenced and our negative experiences are swept under the rug as we try to protect ourselves from the judgment of others — or worse, a variety of problems ranging from further physical attacks to professional issues such as slander and/or black-listing. Simply put: I was afraid.”

Fires too said she was afraid of Deen and had placed him on a list of people she would not work with, claiming he once tried to rape her.
“The reason I put him on my ‘no list’ was because he almost raped me,” Fires toldThe Daily Beast. “The only time I’d ever seen this guy, he walked into the green room at Kink [studios], picks up another performer like a caveman, grabs her by the hair, and takes her off somewhere … and I can only imagine.
“Later on that night, I was getting out of the shower of the communal bathroom at Kink, I reach for my towel to dry off, and he comes up from behind me and pushes himself and his erection into my butt.
“He pushes me against the sink and starts grabbing on me and I was like, ‘No, no, no James, no,’ and he released me from his grasp, and says, ‘You know, later if you want to f*** around I’m in room whatever-it-was. I was like, ‘F*** you’. I didn’t even know this guy, he was so out of line and entitled with my body.”
She claimed a year later Deen confronted her and tried to convince her to tell people the reason she refused to work with him was because he reminded her of her brother.
Since the allegations surfaced, Deen has taken to Twitter denying the allegations, saying that he “respects women” and understands and respects “limits”.
Stoya was first to speak out against Deen, tweeting: “That thing where you log in to the internet for a second and see people idolising the guy who raped you as a feminist. That thing sucks.
“James Deen held me down and f***ed me while I said no, stop, used my safe word.
“I just can’t nod and smile when people bring him up anymore.”
