Lylith LaVey Sues BangBros Over Syphilis Exposurem - UPDATED

LOS ANGELES—City News Service is reporting that adult performer Lylith LaVey, who in 2012 sued male performer Mr. Marcus for exposing her to the syphilis virus on set, on Tuesday sued BangBros.com in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that "the company should have known that actor [Mr. Marcus] had the communicable disease," according to the article. Though LaVey did not contract syphilis as a result of the exposure, she claims in the suit that she "suffered emotional distress as well as castigation from others in her field as a result of the incident." In September of last year, Superior Court Judge Amy Hogue ruled that LaVey was free to seek a default judgment against Mr. Marcus in her lawsuit against him, after he and his lawyer had failed to comply with an order of the court, writing at the time, “It appears [Mr. Marcus] has abandoned his defense of this case.” Mr. Marcus last June also pled no contest to a misdemeanor charge of exposing at least two adult actresses to a communicable disease, and was subsequently sentenced to 30 days in jail, 15 days of community service and three years probation. According to today's article, the latest lawsuit states, "Plaintiff completed the scene with Mr. Marcus and subsequently found out that (he) had syphilis." UPDATED AVn has received a copy of the complaint filed Tuesday by Lylith LaVey's lawyer, Adam Rose.
