Porn star Aria Lee has publicly accused Adult Time director/AVN Hall of Famer Craven Moorehead of sexually assaulting her twice last year in a video that she posted on her Twitter feed.
Moorehead has not publicly commented on the allegations that Lee has made against him.
Lee says that the first assault happened when she was on set performing a scene for Adult Time's Pure Taboo channel on October 11th of last year. Lee claims that the second assault happened on December 8the of last year when Moorehead arranged for her to work as an extra in a mainstream horror movie directed by musician Glenn Danzig.
Lee describes each assault in considerable detail in her interview with AVN on this.
Adult Time/Gamma Films Group addressed Lee's allegations in a statement to AVN that reads in full:
'In January 2020, Gamma Films was made aware of allegations of misconduct by one of our independent third-party producers that may violate our Code of Conduct. In accordance with our usual due process for such situations, we have performed an independent investigation into these allegations - the conclusion of that investigation was that it has been impossible to validate the veracity of the allegations in question.
'We never tolerate misconduct on the part of anyone involved with our production projects, as this violates our Code of Conduct. We always strive to provide an ethical and respectful work environment for anyone involved with our production projects and remain committed in supporting the performers, independent third-party producers, and business partners with whom we have an ongoing business relationship. We strongly encourage all parties to reach out should they ever experience a work environment that undermines their well-being and safety.
'We firmly reiterate that the best course of action for anyone that alleges having been a victim of any sort of misconduct which may qualify as a criminal offence is to immediately bring forward such issues with their local law enforcement service.
