This is separate from the ongoing case against Hay before the Labor Standards Division of the California Department of Industrial Relations.


Derek Hay Dealt Two Pandering Charges (AVN)

LOS ANGELES-Derek Hay, owner of adult talent agency LA Direct Models, was charged Tuesday morning with two counts of pandering in connection with a larger set of indictments that also levy similar charges against the two principals of a website that bills itself as a "gallery of all American adult stars."

According to the Los Angeles County Superior Court docket, the two charges against Hay are listed as violations of Penal Code 266I(A)(1), which the California Legislative Information website defines as "Procur[ing] another person for the purpose of prostitution." The site notes that such a charge is "punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for three, four, or six years."

The two individuals associated with the website in question received a combined 16 various charges, some matching Hay's and others falling under Penal Code 266H, the California code for pimping, which carries the same prescribed sentencing.
