BuckCherry Sued for Recrutiing for Porn

LOS ANGELES — Rock band Buckcherry, Warner Music Group and Atlantic Recording will answer a civil complaint from the mother of a 16-year-old girl alleging that the musicians recruited the minor to film pornographic sex acts that the label later exploited for promotional purposes, reaping “huge profits,” the plaintiff said.

According to the complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the mother, whose name was not disclosed, alleged that the band recruited underage girls with a casting call placed on social networking site MySpace.com. The ad promised free alcohol, to be served at The Key Club in West Hollywood, Calif., the mother said.

The suit also names The Key Club as a defendant, alleging that the nightspot failed to check the girl’s ID, allowing the band to ply the minor with “shot after shot of Jagermeister.”

“The pornography that is captured on the three videos is only the tip of the iceberg of what occurred during the production,” the mother said.

The complaint also alleges that various other minors, who are not part of the suit, where served alcohol by the band and induced into performing sex acts on film, which later appeared on the Internet.

According to the complaint, the video, which the band and the labels sold to promote the song “Crazy Bitch,” depicts the minor plaintiff and another young woman having sex in the club’s bathroom.

The girl and her mother are suing the defendants for sexual assault, battery, invasion of privacy, emotional distress, negligence and sexual harassment for the events, which allegedly took place Oct. 23, 2005.

Guys like this give our industry a bad name and they're not even involved in it.

shot after shot of Jagermeister

that was one obliviously happy teen girl!


it is amazing that it is 2006 and there are grown people stupid enough to engage in this kind of activity... I mean honestly I have never heard of this band but one would assume they would have employed a manager at some point. Someone who could say "listen guys... what you're doing... it's fucking stupid and illegal... STOP IT NOW!"

best part of this story is this;

Ahemmmm.. i dont personally know anyone who would ever supply someone under the age of 21 alcohol say at the end of a long freaking shoot in florida and lights had been burning everyones eyes and there was no wind on the balcony and everyone was thristy!! ahemm ahemm LOL

I was refering more to feeding it to a 16 year old and then having or filming that girl engaged in sexual activity for any reason but the worse of it being for profit... that kind of action is just stunningly stupid

I'll come out of self imposed retirement Oprano just to say this

Who is suing the mother for allowing her 16 year young daughter to get drunk and be in a rock video?
to even be allowed to be exposed to that function?

Where is personally responsibility?

Would they sue if they didn't think Buckcherry was making $ now
Would they if it was just some local nobody band with no money?

The mother (and or parents) are more at fault than the band, record label, the nightclub or promoters




Hey you crazy bitch, let your daughter in a rock porno video!


Back to under my rock

You know, if any adult video producer did this right now, they'd be in jail, not a civil court.
