Well, seeing as you asked...

Issues like this are very serious and, regardess of who has done what, need to be dealt with responsibly as everyone named in this complaint is guaranteed to be added to a watch list.

Do you, ModelPerfect, feel you have done enough due dilligence in investigating your concerns BEFORE airing it so publicly?

No one here can really know what happened in this situation, however, to answer your question:

In 300 things (related to adult industry age legalities), you are permitted ZERO mistakes!

The US Justice Department seems more interested in 'nailing' anyone who violates even a minor technicality as evidenced by their initiatives (visa vi 2275 proposed ammendments) to binding criminal offences to clerical errors.

Under the proposed 2275 changes, you can still be charged with a criminal offence and face jail time even if all the models were of legal age at the time of production and the theme of the production was not illegal.

These are serious issues and mistakes like this cast shadows on more than just one enterprise. If the content producer is from a foreign country which may already have a questionable reputation, it does not help one's country mates.

You mean, American 'clients' are willing to purchase content and accept 'legal' paperwork they cannot understand and/or verify knowing that their personal freedom is at risk?

I think the burden is clearly upon the American 'client' to authenticate what they are relying on to keep them out of jail.

I have always advocated the use of a CREDIBLE (in North America) notary public/lawyer in the country of origin to submit a legally-binding english language authentication of ID from a foreign country along with the ID copy itself.

If this type of credibility is not available, then the country in question has much work to do to secure trade with North America.
