    John Stagliano being sued

    A popular porn star who appeared in the movie "Buttman's Stretch Class #4" is suing the male lead (Buttman) ... claiming he failed to disclose that he was HIV positive before they shot sex scenes.

    The woman behind the lawsuit is Katie Summers -- real name Katherine Howard -- who claims she was paid to appear in the film back in 2009 ... and the role involved sexual interaction with John Stagliano (aka Buttman).

    In Katie's lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, the porn star claims Stagliano had known he was HIV positive since 1997 ... but failed to disclose that information before they shot their sex scenes for the movie.

    FYI -- Stagliano has been open about his condition for years.

    Still, Katie claims she didn't find out about Stagliano's condition until 2012 ... 3 years after they shot the movie.

    In her suit, Summers does not say if she is HIV positive.

    Summers is suing for negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and sexual battery. She's also suing John's production company -- Evil Angel Productions -- which produced the flick.

    Summers is suing for unspecified damages -- and wants a judge to hit Evil Angel with an injunction forbidding the company from continuing to produce movies with Stagliano unless it discloses his condition to others.

    Anybody that would sleep with anybody that is HIV positive, especially for the sake of pornography is a complete mush head anyways.

    Regardless of whether or not she knew, he shouldn't be fucking women on film knowing that he could potentially be putting women at risk just so he can get his rocks off. Hire some talent or quit.

    Regardless of her stupidity and the fact that he has been open about it for years, I still hope she wins. He's a clown.

      first i didn't know Buttman fucked girls in his movies - been years since I saw one but I remember the ones I saw he was just a perv and would stick his face in girls asses not his dick.

      secondly, these girls aren't porn fans before they get into the industry, and most of them even when they're in the industry aren't interested in the goings on and personalities of the industry - to her Buttman isn't some porn celeb, he was just another dude she showed up to do a shoot for. so it's very possible she only found out about his HIV long after she did the shoot.

            This story could be a catalyst for the industry...and not in a good way.

            What if this silly lawsuit proceeds to the point where Stagliano goes and gets tested...and the testing facilities show he's negative? Then what? Mass exodus of people leaving the industry could easily go down.

            HIV is no longer a death sentence folks. It's more like a condition you live with for the rest of your life...like diabetes.

            Stagliano may have a viral load so low a test won't pick it up. And that might come to light.

            Then what?

              Never watched the movie in question, but if he was hands on in any way, he should have been up front about his HIV status.

              "Hey, just to let you know before I finger your cooch... I have HIV. Are you OK with that?"

                100% agree with you. This is a poor move on his part. I'll be interested to see how this pans out.

                  That's correct. Which makes it one of my least favorite Evil Angel series


                  Agree with others that it should be stated beforehand. There's a whole new generation that doesn't know how ground-breaking guys like Stagliano, Rodney Moore and Ed Powers were for their time. Or even who they are now. There's such a miniscule chance of contracting it, especially in those circumstances but all parties should be informed.

                    Billy might as well amend your post to add "what if it's found out Stagliano is a space alien?"

                          probably the girls who are coming into porn now who weren't even born when the buttman series first came out.
                          you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                  i hear ya, it's funny- the only reason i'm familiar with the stretch class series is my traffic is focused on what i call *extreme solo girl*

                                  they want to see hot chicks doing anal, but not with some bald-headed dufus.

                                  stretch class comes close to the edge with this though due to stagliano's directing/participating.

                                    Yeah, but look at all the post here that act like this is the models fault.
                                    Failure to notify a sex partner of being HIV positive is a crime.

                                    http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/02/health/criminalizing-hiv

                                    The former hotel administrator was arrested three months later. The official charge: criminal transmission of HIV -- a class B felony in Iowa, where the encounter occurred. Other crimes in this category include manslaughter, kidnapping, drug crimes and robbery.

                                    ....

                                    ....

                                    So he went to jail, even though Plendl says hospital tests confirmed he was not infected with HIV. His bond was set at $250,000. Unable to post bail, Rhoades spent the next nine months in the Black Hawk County jail.
                                    Good luck.

                                        depending on how bad of a low blood sugar event we are talking about, i can see this working.

                                            Doesn't matter. This is not the type of headline the porn industry needs to be getting right now while you Porn Valley numb nuts fight mandatory condom use. It's Mr. Marcus v2. As usual, it shows very poor judgement and irresponsible behavior. This is exactly the sort of thing that can be used against you monkeys and the only thing everyone is complaining about is how they don't *think* he put the girl in danger.

                                                    no, the valid question here is if he has it on paper

                                                      I think that he should as well as any other actress/actor should be required to be upfront about it but I also think the company that is doing the shoots should inform their stars that they are working with someone that is HIV positive.

                                                          I pondered posting this here 2 days ago but figured yall would read it on my blog.

                                                          This is an interesting case and it does have implications on the industry

                                                          In California you MUST notify any person you are going to have sexual contact with prior to. He didn't and she is suing him civilly (this is not at this time a criminal case) civil means only a simple majority of the jury must agree with her for her to win.

                                                          how hard will it be to convince that jury that this was "sexual contact" because how would they feel had it been them? My bet is that they would have wanted to be notified.

                                                          And Billy raises a VERY interesting point...John would almost certainly test non reactive for HIV using the current industry testing protocols. Karen admitted as much in AVN yesterday when she stated that John has been "undetectable for HIV for 15 years"


                                                          Bad timing on this whole thing...once again it underscores AHF's claim that we need condoms and cant be trusted to govern ourselves.

                                                          It's No wonder I took up drugs and alcohol, it's the only way I could dumb myself down enough to cope with the morons in this biz.

                                                            What if this silly lawsuit proceeds to the point where Stagliano goes and gets tested...and the testing facilities show he's negative? Then what? Mass exodus of people leaving the industry could easily go down.

                                                            HIV is no longer a death sentence folks. It's more like a condition you live with for the rest of your life...like diabetes.

                                                            Stagliano may have a viral load so low a test won't pick it up. And that might come to light.

                                                            Then what?
                                                            well look at the more recent situation with the talent who had conceived syphilis, then tested and allegedly attempted to falsify his test, he is also getting sued and i think he did time as well...
                                                            this could all be a catalyst for whats to come - ambulance chasing lawyers trying to find innocent porn girls willing to sue wealthy male talent (if they can find any)

                                                            however i do want to say that if Stagliano had sexual contact with Katie then he should have informed her, and actually imho he should never allow himself sexual contact with anyone who is not already infected regardless if the partner is willing or not.
