I didn't attend the trial, but there are pretty detailed articles about the trial on both XBIZ and AVN. Summer Luv (retired performer) testified for the defense, and it was made clear to the jury that it was all consensual.
Consent is not really a factor in obscenity trials, generally. If the issue was that the sex was non-consensual, and the government had evidence showing that and witnesses willing to testify to that effect, then presumably Max would have been charged with sexual assault, as well.
