not raped?

Well, we have mention elsewhere here (and not by me) of at least one case where it was rape, even though the "actress" was of age -- deception, and violence. And the "actress" is reportedly _not_ running around making more movies, not feeling like getting out at all, although she is reportedly still breathing.

Well, freedom is never absolute.

And, as someone else pointed out elsewhere (and I got modded flamebait for linking to it), we don't know that the production is actually consensual in every case. We do hear about those who supposedly enjoy about it, but we often only hear about those who don't after they commit suicide or OD or end up afraid to leave the house or something.
