This is the trouble with the legal system. Both sides knew this was the date. Unless someone had a medical emergency, there is no reason for a continuance. "I am sorry your cat had the barfs but it's time to go to work"

MOD: This thread has nothing to do with Trump or his wall. So keep both out of it.
Wow. I'm bigly mind fucked. When I was 10 my mom found a porn magazine in my room and got unhinged about it and took it to my Dad and said, "I found this Playboy magazine in Teddy's room!"
I responded to my Dad, "I don't have a Penthouse magazine in my room!" Of course it was a Penthouse.
MC attacking people she had ideological differences with by accusing them of being pedophiles (without any evidence or accusations) makes a lot of sense now. Projection seems to be far more common among a certain group of people in society these days. I just never liked MC for some reason, maybe my Spidey Sense was trying to tell me something.
So I guess we shouldn't expect any notable updates on this til April? Part of what I first wondered was if this was all trumped up charges stemming from mere exposure to pornography, i.e. child of sex worker in proximity to work material. Given that Mercedes both produced some content at home and had a minor living there, I wondered if that was enough to bring in child protection services. I'm sure many feel that minors should not be on or near a porn set. But then you have these amateurs making homemade sex videos and you can hear infants screaming in the background. I guess that's life.
The only difference between couples having sex and amateurs making homemade sex videos is the camera, so I guess to make everyone happy no one should have sex at all if there is a child in the house.

^^ That is an interesting point. Where is that line in terms of sex work? If people are shooting at home, what are those boundaries?
^ While I don't disagree Flash, where are those lines in terms of commerce? I don't think anyone was implying that you can't have sex with kids in the house, but this really isn't on that level.
____________________
And I still call bullshit on continuances. Everyone knew the date, everyone knew what was going on. Get on with it.
^ Continuances can be annoying, but it's harmful to say "get on with it" or "they should have known and worked harder" in any major case, especially those involving alleged sexual assault. Without knowing which side asked for the continuance, it's impossible to know the exact reasons why the judge moved the date. However, it could be anything from Mercedes not having met with an attorney, a change in legal counsel, defense counsel having more than one case and not being available that day, new evidence being discovered that both sides are entitled to review, or an illness as you stated. Advocating for the courts to violate due process by rushing through a hearing is incredibly short-sighted. Regardless of her guilt or innocence in this matter, all parties are entitled the time to prepare their cases.
I also can't say I really get why there's a backlash against studios removing her scenes from their sites. While only her personal clips stores may have a legal risk if it's found that a minor was present, the type of content she typically shot for studios plays a factor on a public relations level as well. Given the allegations that the assault involved her daughter and so much of her content being simulated incest, it's likely only a matter of time if this goes forward for the media to attempt to make a connection between the two. It's better from a PR perspective to wait and see by removing the scenes and allowing the process to play out.
Not sure if you mean two consenting adults having sex while their children happen to reside in the house like our parents must have done so more than the number of children they had but somehow I don't think you can actually shoot porn if there is an underage child present in the house. Now that doesn't mean that people don't shoot porn with children present but I suspect that if it was found out then the adults would be charged with some kind of crime.
If she is proven innocent then why should she be haunted or her career be over??? On the contrary, if she is found innocent then companies like Brazzers would owe her a massive apology for throwing her under the bus. Your language suggests that even if she is found to be innocent he should still be punished. This is very illiberal and dangerous. We must let the case unfold and let her have her day in court.
Evolution is a lie, the earth is flat, Elvis is alive, Bigfoot is real, the Ramones was the greatest Rock band ever, there were WMD's in Iraq, millions of illegals voted in our elections, Fox news is fair and balanced and Mercedes Carrera is innocent of all charges.
The Golden State Warriors BEGGED me to play center for them but I'm too busy inventing cold fusion right now. I was born in San Bernardino county and still have family there. The new DA isn't going to bring bullshit charges against someone with as high a profile as MC. She's an outspoken conservative Trump supporter. She's toast on the drug and weapon charges, are we supposed to believe that the child abuse charges are "fake news"?

reminds me of the video of a cam girl where her little brother walked in and handed her a bottle of water beacuse she said she was thirsty while masturbating live on camera. it was funny to see her expression to shock and not knowing what to do now. i am sure they could have charged her too with some stupid law.

No, we are not. We're supposed to believe in innocent until proven guilty. Just like that orange guy, she is throwing anything out there she can to try to sway public opinion.
Except for the basic information, little is known about the case, and it's going to stay that way until the trial starts. The fact that they arrested them, then held them without bond indicates that they found corroborating evidence of the abuse, because if it was just the weapons and the drugs, there probably would have been a high bail set. Does it appear they did what the charges state? Yes, right now. Considering that the 1st hearing hasn't happened yet, it's a bit early to jump to the end. The recent SBA events should have put everyone on notice not to jump to conclusions.
FYI: If you go play for the Warriors, watch out. Draymond kicks low
Agree 100%. Also to reiterate a point that I made earlier, the charges introduced included one stemming from sexual acts with a 14 year old victim. This was introduced after the original arrest pertaining to the first alleged 10 year old victim and the drug charges. It's not really a surprise that one (or both) sides would like more time to prepare for those additional charges.

It appears to me that you have read the list of charges and come to the unsupported conclusion that there was a "14 year old victim" in addition to the daughter, because the brief description of one of the charges -- Penal Code section 288A(c)(1) -- refers to "oral cop: person -14yr/etc." The statutes criminalizing sex with minors are broken down into various elements and factual scenarios; this one happens to be for oral copulation with a minor under 14 years of age and the defendant is 10 years older.
I haven't seen anything in any of the reporting about a second victim; just an ominous-but-vague "detectives believe there may be additional victims" comment in one of the AVN articles.
While it's certainly possible that the cops have this all right and MC and the dude are monsters who should be locked away forever, this could also just be a typically ugly child custody dispute, where it is not at all uncommon for parents to make up the most lurid, awful accusations against each other and coach the children to lie in support. Perhaps Daughter hates Mommy and her creepy beardy boyfriend, and wants to go live with Daddy; or Daddy has her convinced that she'll BURN in HELL if she doesn't get away from those demon-possessed SINNERS, and the LORD will forgive her if she tells a little white lie about being diddled. The abuse accusations get the cops into the house, where they find the guns and the meth, which, while not laudable, are about as surprising to find in a SoCal house as a pressure washer or one of those basketball hoops that you can wheel into the cul-de-sac.
The moral of the story: don't jump to conclusions just because someone gets arrested, and don't ever think anyone couldn't lie about anything.
Might be more sympathetic if she hadn't been saying how bad drugs were & how she is clean & then they found a load of hard drugs at the residence & she looked like a meth addict in her mugshot-she was obviously lying about that, so why should we believe her on the abuse charges?
My point wasn't that the additional charge conclusively stated that there was in fact a 2nd victim, but that the timing of it could lend credence to the police statement which alluded to additional victims (Primarily because the additional charge was introduced afterward). Also, it's illegal to publicly disclose the identity of underage victims in sexual assault cases so in point of fact any speculation about those involved won't be known until later. Related to that, this bizarre thing going around (like in that Xbiz article) where people cite not naming the victim in the press release as an "inconsistency" needs to stop.
It just looks like a typical unflattering mugshot of someone without any make-up on. I wouldn't say she looks like a meth addict. I don't see any kind of marks or sores that you see on meth addicts. Her skin looks pretty blemish free actually.
Nope, but it doesn't really help her cause that she was so anti-drugs & then they raid her house & find a load of Class A. Even if she is telling the truth about the alleged abuse then it makes it harder to believe her.
After reading the xbiz report and the numerous inconsistencies in the allegations It seems like we may have another messy Michael Jackson style hit job situation. So until she is officially convicted of all child abuse charges, all the people that threw Mercedes under the bus when the allegations first arose, especially Brazzers and mindgeek, a massive fuck you.
MC has made good money in the industry and is doing webcaming as well as other legal jobs (and who knows what other ways she has of making money, she could be selling scrap metal). Why doesn't she have enough money to hire her own lawyer? She's a college educated engineer but it didn't occur to her to have a rainy day fund? Especially since she has been having custody agreement issues with her child's father and she works in a industry that can be prone to lawsuits? She has a closet filled with expensive lingerie but no $ for a shitstorm like this? One has to wonder why someone who is as smart as MC wouldn't be prepared for a situation like this. I have $2,000 within easy reach and more at the bank and I make chicken feed. And it's strange that MC doesn't seem to have any friends or family that is helping her while she's in jail...
It's all just really strange...
Unless...
MC doesn't have any money because it's all went to support a drug habit. People on drugs tend to burn relationships with friends and family. And meth use can also make people make horrible choices in life (which is one of the reasons why I'm not a libertarian). Of course these are just questions and I'm just giving possible reasons why she is where she is today. I'm not accusing MC of committing any crimes or trying to defame her character. The San Bernardino county DA has brought charges against her that I believe are credible. The Xbiz article was less than balanced. Weapon charges against two adults who are legally permitted to own them (unless they are accused of using them in a crime) make no sense. Did MC lose her career in engineering because of a drug felony? It's easy to believe that she'd want to keep that to herself. Xbiz didn't give her real name so we don't know if she's a felon. If her partner is a felon then she's shown very extra bad judgement by allowing him to posses guns in their home. That alone is enough to cause her to lose custody of her child.
MC has 14 charges against her, most of them felonies. Johnny Cochran, Perry Mason and Matlock put together couldn't get her out of this.

^ I know someone who had totally baseless rape charges against him. It cost him $50,000 in legal fees before the charges were dropped. And that's a small town lawyer and he wasn't in jail so he could help with his own defense.

^ Anyone who has that done to them should have their legal fees paid for and/or be compensated by those that accuse others. There currently seems to be no recourse against false testimony anymore.
Heh. Sarcastic proscription at the end of your statement aside, I say exactly right. People work from home. People have sex at home. It only makes sense people who have sex for a living would want to keep it all in-house so to speak.
It's still going to be hard to convince people, especially normie jurors working normie jobs, that there isn't somehow something criminally negligent about these porn stars working at home with minors in the vicinity. Stigmas die hard. Even when a significant plurality, if not majority, of the population also watches porn. Probably presence of illicit hardcore drugs is what really tilts the scales too. I think that's the bigger concern rather than porn production. And of course the alleged sex abuse, obviously the primary concern by far. Latest I read, Mercedes maintains her claim of innocence.
Relatedly, has anyone seen The Florida Project? It's a great movie, IMO. It's not exactly the same as this tangential issue of sex performers, but it's pretty close.
Our culture has become hysterical about supposed sexual-related indiscretions. People can engage in consensual sex, but if one regrets this in hindsight, it's exacerbated into rape which we know is now tantamount to their being murdered. Does anyone know the story of "Mattress Girl"? I haven't followed up on that since last year, but every update on that story just got more and more bizarre. It's like we live in a clown world. For those who may not know the case of MG, basically think of Jussie Smollett but substitute the alleged hate crime with rape. Only the case of MG is even worse than the Jussie Smollett farce, because Jussie never brought charged on anyone in particular. MG's story ruined someone's life.
Hysteria has perverted the scales of justice. I've been sexually assaulted repeatedly, but I've forgiven my attacker and we've both gone on to be better people. But there's people who want to trick out and exploit uncomfortable moments, even consensual ones, long after the fact as some sort of atrocity, because victimhood is a big moneymaker. So many other people are doing it, so why not?
And I know well and good the liars are a slim fraction of accusers. I'm not necessarily talking about lies vs truths. I'm talking about truths which are blown way out of proportion by calculated and manipulative exaggeration. There's so much hysteria inherent in sex related stories, and that's a direct consequence of shame about sex.
I think nothing changes until we remove inordinate shame from sex. If we managed to work toward this, which I think society may be trying to at a snail's pace, it would be easier to tackle sex offenses. Part of the problem which makes them so hard to adjudicate is because of the overreaction which stems from shame, the question of any sexual misconduct as addressed by the plaintiff as a heinous brutal rape of the worst degree versus a total denial of any untoward behavior even in the slightest by the defendant. These extremes become the resort of both parties because of hysteria. The accuser does not want to be humiliated and their victimization invalidated or their pain dismissed, and the accused does not want to be condemned as a rapist and convicted as if they had murdered someone. All over a regrettable indiscretion which simply fell somewhere in between.
As for the Michael Jackson comparison someone made here, maybe that's not the best case to bring up. If I were MC I certainly would not want to be compared to him.
Yep, amazed anybody could still believe a guy at 29/30 opens up a giant fairground at his home to lure kids over, has them in his bedroom & bed & has alarm systems warning him when people are coming isn't a pedo-any regular guy does that the same people would be calling him a nonce & wanting to kill him/at least get him arrested, because a famous guy does it he had a bad childhood-fan worship taken to the extreme.
You have hit in on the head-a lot of people when they get famous/make lots of money blow it on expensive crap-multiple mansions, multiple flash cars, expensive clothes/jewelry etc & indeed drug habits-most likely she has been living beyond her means. A lot of porn performers don#t seem to get along with their families for various reasons & it looks like pretty much everybody in porn turned their back on her when the arrest happened. Most likely she will do what a lot of women do to save themselves-say the partner was abusive to her, he bought the guns into the house, got her hooked on drugs etc-so he takes the big fall & they can serve a short time, or just get a treatment programme & community
The two discs in cases/covers is interesting-I am not sure unless it was child exploitation material why the prosecution team would be taking it into court & asking him about it, yet as far as I am aware they have only been charged with gun/drug offences thus far. The only thing I can think of is there is a backlog of computers etc to be looked at by the forensics department which is not uncommon & that they believe they will find illegal material on that.
^Am I correct that Mercedes claims to have been a model from the age of 13 to about 20 years old when she decided to go to college and study engineering and aerospace(not sure what that means). She worked as an aerospace engineer for about 6 years until she decided to switch to telecommunication and then migrated to photography production work which then became her starting to do porn.
"Early promotional interviews, which should always be read with a grain of salt because their main objective is not to reveal intimacies but to establish a new performer's persona, depict an articulate, self-assured woman."
^Thanks for the link. I actually read Jacks' interview after reading the Xbiz article because I wanted to know if he had more info than what was in Xbiz article but as far as I can tell. Most of what is in the Xbiz article came from Jack's interview. In fact I would say that he should get a co-author credit for the Xbiz article.
in other news, Elegant Angel has released "Big Wet MILF Asses" and "MILF Performers of the Year 2019", both with Mercedes scenes in them. But she is not mentioned on the cover, instead a Tiffany Mynx bonus scene (on Big Wet MILF Asses) and a Katie Morgan bonus scene (on MILF Performers of the Year) is mentioned on the back cover instead.
"See? This kind of news is why I try to stay away from ADT." - - me
At the moment, she's innocent.
My own spectral analysis of her lustiness tells me...... well, her performances have always been voracious in a way that invited the viewer in warmly and made fans think of her as one of the "real" porners who actually wanted to be there. Or at least she's able to emote more than most in a way that gets through to me. Maybe another way of saying it is that when naked people overact I usually don't buy into it to the extent I did when Mercedes overacted. Hers went to 11. As if she was ruled by the lust more like how we poor fool males are. That may bode ill here, if the lust led her down a dark path. But I'm choosing to see it another way:
My first reaction to hearing the charges was to believe them because we tend to believe headlines and our internet culture loves to rush to judgment. But then I paused and did the Innocent Until Proven Guilty reminder. I also felt odd after hearing this news, like the arrest news was odd: "That one? Mercedes? Really? She seems like a poor match for this crime because... How would a wee one ever satisfy Carerra's demonstrated sexuality ??? It'd be like feeding a tiny morsel of fulfilment to a hungry hungry hippo. She'd starve on just that. Doesn't make sense. Wouldn't Carrera require sturdier stuff? Full grown specimens?" Eh. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but for now it's my thinking.
I couldn't agree more. What's with this guilty till proven innocent bullshit? So many people watch porn but when it suits society then they just want to pronounce someone as being guilty because they happen to be a porn star? I agree, fuck these companies too for assuming guilt when there is no reason to do so at this stage.

Porn companies have to take these allegations seriously. They cannot be shooting scenes with someone suspected of child abuse. It would also be unfair on other performers.
Guilty or innocent, all her moralizing about good parenting was bogus if there really were class A drugs in the house, (and she looks like she has consumed an entire meth factory).
Projection has risen to epidemic levels in the last few years. And if Michael Jackson was innocent of the accusations against him then he was the dumbest motherfucker who ever lived. No one is that stupid.
