Keith... You made some very good points. But yet I have an argument with you...
You said anyone who considers working with Brent Corrigan deserves whatever they get.... Maybe you know or dont know but Brent Corrigan and Bryan Kocis were lovers. That's why Brent was hired as an exclusive model for Cobra Video. Brent played and used Bryan. We all seen it! Or at least most of us seen it. And Bryan was a very good man.

But in Bryan's defense.... I had a 17 year old approach me to model. He was very hot. He told me he was 18, he came to my house on New Years Eve this past January, he was a cool guy. Then I set up a shoot with him for January 20th. He shows up, he hands me an ID, it was altered as hell. If I looked at it really hard I could tell that he took a sharpy or a magic marker and put a dot over the year he was born, but I had to look REALLY hard for it. And I look for that stuff. I took him in my home office and asked him his real age. He said I am 17 but I want to become a "Porn Star" really bad. I said you call me when your 18 for real and you bring more proof that you will be 18 and I'll put you in a video if you really want that.

So the moral of the story is that it's not always the producers faults that hire underage. Personally my studio is ages 22 to 35. But these models are also running around with Fake IDs, they're running around with altered IDs, etc. so we really can't take complete blame either. I think it's a 50/50 situation.

BUT YES, it is the producers responsibility to check for things like this and NOT TO HIRE THEM. But nobody deserves to be killed over it either.
