Woman Ordered to Quit Porn to Get Daughter

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas -- A former porn star was awarded custody of her 3-year-old daughter, but the judge added one condition: that she not make any more adult movies.
Judge Charles Stephens acknowledged that he faced a difficult decision in arriving at Wednesday's ruling.
The mother, Laura Carney, has made several pornographic movies, and is known on film as Barbi Korvette, Slavegirl and Dmii Darkangel. The father, Patrick Carney, admitted that he attended clubs where his wife performed, sold her merchandise, viewed pornography on the Internet and hired prostitutes.
The judge said he had to award custody to "someone who is an admitted porn entertainer (or) someone who was involved in porn, viewed it and can't remember the last time he's hired a prostitute."
Laura Carney, 35, accused her husband of pressuring her into the porn industry then using her past against her. She left him in 2001.
Patrick Carney, a financial services worker, said he had little involvement in his wife's work and now teaches Sunday school at his church.
