After all, it could be anyones penis sticking through.

As the producer you better be able to prove whom the actor in the video is. When there are scenes shot without faces I always instruct my clients to film some BTS footage than can be used to tie the two together. The burden of proof is on the producer.

Here's another: In a movie or scene with 2 or more actors, wouldn't the 2257 or Proof of Age documentation be required to be presented (and maybe signed off on) from every actor, to every other actor. in a scene? If not, how would any actor know if his or her fellow actors are adults?

Interesting but not really relevant. I have never seen an actor charged with having sex with a minor in a case where there is an underage performer. Perhaps but unlikely.
I expect Dirty Ds situation to grow worse and LE will probably be going through all of his docs looking for other underage performers. I would also expect them to call some of the ones that are borderline and even run some of the IDs to see if they are fake.
It might even go as far as 2257 and the FBI but we will have to wait and see. In the Ray Guhn case in Florida, the DA added charges as the investigation continued.
It could even impact the affiliates - just as it reached down to the distributors in the Traci Lord case.
