| Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery says having sex for money may be illegal. |
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery's heard the news that several California porn-production companies may be planning to come out to Arizona, partially due to Los Angeles' new law requiring porn actors to wear condoms.
Now, Montgomery's warning that bare-backing it on camera in Arizona may qualify as prostitution.
"Under Arizona law, anyone paid to appear in a pornographic movie may be guilty of the crime of prostitution, which carries mandatory jail time as well as the possibility of other penalties," Montgomery's office warns.
As you may know -- or pretend to not know -- several porno outlets have already been operating in Arizona for several years now, including the Scottsdale-based Backroom Casting Couch and FTV Girls.
County Attorney's Office spokesman Jerry Cobb tells
New Times that Montgomery's office is well aware that some porno companies operate in Arizona, but claims they could be violating prostitution laws as well.
