It would be the same as if you get pulled over for driving drunk, and you go to court and tell them that some guys put a gun to your head and made you drink. Maybe they did, but that's no defense for driving drunk, no matter what.
Read up on what really happened with the Traci Lords case. She gave them ID, she signed releases, she lied to thier faces, and hell, she was published in magazines that said she was in her twenties.
None of that mattered when it all went down. Not only did they have to destroy all of her stuff that she was in, but for years cops would cruise video stores looking for one of her vids that got missed and was still on the shelf.
As for good faith. Traci was never marketed as a teen, lolita or anything of that type, she was marketed as a grown woman. None of that mattered when the shit went down.
As for overseas models in content, I would not accept anything except a copy of a passport as proof of age. I also would not buy, or in my case sell content without including a picture of a drivers license, or a passport.
As for anything else including malicious prosecution, hello, it's those guys job, to put guys in jail, and let me tell you folks. They don't like us, they don't care if you got lied to, and they get promotions from putting guys like us in jail. Whether you thought your ass was covered or not.
Wake up, smell the coffee.
