&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I met Kristenye, formerly known as Diamond,&amp;nbsp;on Myspace and was immediately drawn to her because I something very special in her. In only a few months Kristenye has quit the adult industry and is now in recovery. She now wants to use her story to help others learn the truth about the porn industry and to inspire women to leave the sex industry. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I was molested by the son of my parents best friends when I was 12 until I was almost 16. I had other isolated incidences before that but this is where it all started to mess me up totally. I never told my family or anyone at the church because I didn&#039;t want to ruin their friendship. I don&#039;t want to hurt my mom now. He molested me for 3 years every chance we were alone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;My real name is April and I was raised in Southern California by a single mother, who struggled with severe depression as far back as I can remember. She was a wonderful woman, but extremely troubled, and though she raised me to the best of her ability, she dealt with many issues from her past, which continued to haunt her until she died of breast cancer in 1992. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Former Porn Star Erin Moore Story</title>

&lt;p&gt;I started in the porn industry back in 2003 when I was 19. It started with me doing a little nude modeling here and there, then it progressed into internet work and then I met an &amp;quot;agent&amp;quot;. It all went downhill from there. The money was great for a 19 year old! But I didn&#039;t enjoy being on set and feeling degraded.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Former Male Porn Star VJ Soporno Story</title>
 <link>http://www.thepinkcross.org/pinkcross-articles/september-2008/former-male-porn-star-vj-soporno-story</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I was always the type to need to be center of attention. If I wasn&#039;t the center of attention, I felt like the outcast. It&#039;s usually either one or the other, no middle ground for people like us. Furthermore, no amount of attention (with the exception of from the occasional stalker which was too much attention) was really satisfying. I&#039;m currently finding out that it&#039;s not necessarily &amp;quot;human&amp;quot; attention I&#039;ve been looking for &amp;ndash; even though that&#039;s where I obsessively look for it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m a former porn actress who did over 200 movies. I grew up in Pittsburgh and started stripping there while in school. I saw porn stars stripping and thought it was glamorous and thought it was an easy way to fame and fortune.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, I got an agent and he set up my first scenes in California leaving my daughter behind with family.&lt;/p&gt;

I am quite often asked how someone like me ended up in the adult film industry. I made some really bad choices in life and I do take full responsibility for them. I will not be able to easily escape the reminders of my past because it is something I have no control over. I know that is not who I am anymore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;I was born in Indiana and raised in both Indiana and Colorado. My parents got divorced when I was in the 3rd grade and my father was never really around my whole life.

The boy broke my heart so I ran away from home not too long after.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was na&amp;iuml;ve when I first started stripping. A friend of mine suggested I try out on &amp;ldquo;audition&amp;rdquo; night at a local strip club and of course my heart was saying, &amp;ldquo;No, I can&amp;rsquo;t do this!&amp;rdquo; But I saw girls dancing and men literally throwing money at them on the stage!!! But I still couldn&amp;rsquo;t do it.&lt;/p&gt;
