Valley porn director arrested in brothel scheme

3:06 PM | July 2, 2008

David Allen Crawford, known in the Valley's booming porn industry as 'David Lord' ("Pinks" and "Bad Ass School Girls 2") is in a bit of hot water as police question statements he made on immigration applications for Hungarian women. Basically, he's accused of tricking women into moving to the U.S. to be prostitutes, the Daily News reports:

Two Hungarian nationals and a San Fernando Valley porn director were arrested on suspicion of tricking Hungarian women to come to the United States and work as prostitutes in a Sherman Oaks brothel, authorities said today.

David Allen Crawford, 37, known in the adult film industry as David Lord, was arrested today at his Reseda home on suspicion of making false statements on immigration applications related to sham marriages.

The owner of Primal Productions is charged with perjury in relation to an immigration application for his Hungarian "spouse," Agnes Jeges, who also was arrested today at her Van Nuys apartment.

We Googled and (surprise!) couldn't find a single image suitable for the blog. Merely searching took us to sites that, should human Resources have questions, will take some serious explaining. The full Daily News story is here.

Comments

The link you post for Crawford's MySpace account notes he's "available for dating." That should be a tip off right there, that his marriage might have been a sham.

Too bad those Hungarian women weren't Mexican, and sneaked up through the southern border. They should try that next time, learn a few words in Spanish, and when asked where they're from, get deported south to try again. Just like everyone else here. NOT to become hookers here, though, although it's legal in Nevada.

Condolences to the Times staff on the Zell era -- but if the cop-bashing series of articles the last few days is any indication, smaller won't mean better. Guess that's what happens when you pay writers as cheaply as possible by the word -- how sad, that it's not the most experiences pros who are being kept. At least other businesses look at seniority and performance when they fire the newer and more dubious hires.

Thank you for the sentiment -- it's a sad day all around.

Don't worry about your HR people. They will be too busy gathering the paperwork for the 250 people axed at the LA Times...sorry to hear that.

I was just forced to take my first furlough day last week because the City claims it has no money. Now...it's okay for the City to foot the bill for a public memorial for Michael Jackson?
