Gonzo, it is like any undesirable part of our business. Spammers and toolbar jerks are technically a "part of our business", but like a cancerous growth, I don't have to be happy about having it and I sure would like to find a way to get rid of it.
Would wal-mart look good if it allowed people to sell crack in the entrance way to their stores because, well, they are also in the retail business?
Would the police tolerate a drive thru mcdonalds that also sold smack? Again, they are both retail businesses.
The answer is no. I was able to go to this girl's site, and within seconds figure out the entire concept. If she was doing things that were clear legal and without issue, she wouldn't ask for "donations" but would set an hourly rate like any other professional and likely even collect local sales taxes as required. She chose the words, she chose the approach, and she chose the method. I report only what I see. What I saw was someone working "off the books", taking cash donation only because if she took payments for her work, she would be charged with solicitation without delay (at least in her own mind). Crime is often about intent, and not reality.
At the end of the day, claiming to be a poor downtrodden, abuse by the man, screwed over by the cops "webmistress" isn't holding much water.
She runs an incall dungeon in a residential neighborhood. She thought that sneaking it in with the city as a "photo studio" would keep them from looking.
She runs what appears to be an incall sexual services situation in a residential neighborhood. (I use appears to represent what her neighbors would think, not what "enlightened porn webmasters might think).
She appears to solicite for prostitution or sexual situations online.
As a side note, if she is charging money to people and then put their images on the net, she is likely doing it without an enforcable model release. The basis of a model release is one of work and recompense. Since the model is both working and paying to be there, the potential is that the model releases are not enforceable because the models did not receive compensation for their appearance (and a whipping that you paid for isn't compensation).
I think the funniest part is that she appears surprised that the police showed up.
