A following prosecution against a agents numbers a pornographic film & distribution industry hundreds to thousands when it were duty-bound by law to dislodge hundreds of thousands of her videotapes, films & magazines from either store shelves to keep away from a chance of prosecution for trafficking child pornography. Lords herself was never charged, since as a fry she was unable to give legal consent to perform copulatiin on film for money.
