producers Marc Dorcel has a new code of ethics aimed at improving working conditions and tackling abuse in the adult film industry.
It is hoped that the code which was announced on Wednesday will be adopted by other producers in France and beyond. It was prepared by former porn actress Liza Del Sierra alongside a sociologist and lawyer specialising in online intellectual property.
Visa and Mastercard cut ties with the company, and last month more than 100 victims, backed by 525 non-profit organisations, asked Canadian authorities to criminally investigate the owner of Pornhub for facilitating and profiting from sexual abuses.France has also seen problems, with one of its leading “amateur” sites, Jacquie et Michel, hit by a rape and prostitution investigation last year.
Dorcel’s code of ethics was based on a survey of professionals from the industry, as well as doctors and outside associations. “There are too many stories coming out of young women making accusations of rape, of technicians at the end of their tether,” Sierra told AFP.“We hope these propositions will cover all the protagonists in the French sector and overseas, and contribute to a positive evolution of the adult industry,” added Gregory Dorcel, president of the company, in a statement.
