As first reported by TRPWL, Craven Moorehead filed a lawsuit against one of his accuses, Aria Lee.
A porn director, Craven Moorehead, has filed a $10 million defamation suit against an adult film star, Aria Lee, who accused him of sexual assault.
In June, up-and-coming porn performer Lee alleged in a video posted to Twitter — and subsequently in an interview with porn trade Adult Video News — that she was sexually assaulted by Moorehead twice last year.
Lee claimed that the first alleged incident occurred on the set of an X-rated film the duo worked on for Gamma Films’ “Pure Taboo” series at a private residence in LA, in October 2019. Lee told AVN that the second assault occurred months later, last December, in Moorehead’s car — when he was driving her to the set of a mainstream horror film in which he’d helped her get cast as an extra.
But Moorehead’s suit, filed in LA County Superior Court this month, calls Lee’s allegations “false, malicious, defamatory and hurtful.” The suit claims that while Moorehead “believes that every claim of sexual assault should be taken seriously,” he “vehemently denies” Lee’s version of events as “outlandish, outright fabrications.”
Shorltry after the suit became public, Moorehead tweeted this statement
