Ginger Banks has been a porn star for more than 12 years. Her story marks the first significant #MeToo moment in an unregulated industry - worth an estimated 拢25 billion worldwide. We hear how she shone the spotlight on the behaviour of Ron Jeremy - one of the most famous male porn stars in the world. For years, there've been allegations of sexual assault made against him. In June 2020, Ron Jeremy was charged by police in Los Angeles - where he's currently in prison awaiting trial. He denies all charges made against him. 大象传媒 producer, Jo Adnitt, has made a documentary about this 鈥� and in this edition for our 5 Minutes On podcast 鈥� she looks at whether this #MeToo moment in the adult industry signifies a shift in power towards female performers.
This podcast contains some explicit material of a sexual nature.
