This story says that the Extreme Associates trial will begin soon. You can read more about the long history of that case here and here. The star of this affair is Rob Black. I met the guy several years ago. I went to one of his sets with a crew from Playboy TV. The movie was shot in a random house in Woodland Hills. We spent time in the basement talking to one of the woodsmen, who sat on a piece of gym equipment and talked about his life as a dick-for-hire. In the bedroom upstairs, Rob's partner in crime, the Bonnie to his Clyde, Lizzy Borden, directed the scene that afternoon. The starlet was a baby-faced blond. The idea was that she was a babysitter who was at home alone. The playpen in the room belonged to her real-life son. On cue, the basement guy and his partner in crime barged into the room as the video cameras rolled. They were wearing ski-masks and were armed with real knives. Once they started going at her, it was hard to tell where fantasy ended and reality began. From the periphery, it all looked like a nightmare. In all of my years visiting porn sets in the San Fernando Valley, it was the only one I ever walked off of--the one that was directed by a woman.
