In a video posted to her Twitter page Friday, 2020 AVN Best New Starlet nominee Aria Lee leveled two allegations of sexual assault against Hall of Fame director Craven Moorehead, claiming the assaults occurred in October and December of last year.
The allegations were first brought to AVN’s attention in late February by way of an anonymous letter and then confirmed by Lee during a meeting on March 2. However, as Lee explains in Friday’s video after reading select passages, at the time, “I didn’t want to go public about it.”
She continued, “But now, I think I definitely should, because this guy should not be working, and I have been going through … I have a therapist now that costed a lot of money because of him.”
Moorehead had not responded to a request for comment at post time.
The first incident, Lee asserts, took place on October 11 while shooting a scene at a private residence for Gamma Films Group’s Pure Taboo banner. In an interview with AVN Friday after posting her video statement on Twitter, Lee described that during a lunch break she asked Moorehead to show her to the bathroom.
“He was like, ‘Of course, I’ll walk you up there, this place is confusing.’ He was being nice. I thought he was being a good director,” Lee said Friday. “And he takes me to the bathroom, as I’m closing the door, he rushes in, pushes the door closed, pushes me down to my knees, takes his dick out and then makes me suck his dick. … And he just walked out and acted like nothing happened.”
The second encounter, she claims, occurred on December 8 when Moorehead arranged for her to serve as an extra in a mainstream horror movie directed by musician Glenn Danzig.
Lee alleges that Moorehead insisted on driving her to the set, and during the car ride, “He took one hand off the steering wheel, unbuckled my seatbelt. I said, ‘What are you doing?’ He said, ‘Oh, I’m not doing anything.’ And I wish I would have recorded this, because then this would be actual evidence. But I said, ‘What are you doing?’
“He goes, ‘Nothing,’ unbuckles my seatbelt. I re-buckle my seatbelt, I look at him … I said, ‘What are you doing?’ And then he starts to take his dick out, and then he reached for my seatbelt again, and then he undid it again. And then he tried to force me to give him head, and I was like, ‘No! No! No! No! No!’ I screamed ‘No’ so many fucking times, to the point where he was like, ‘Don’t be a sore loser, come on. Don’t be a sore loser, just get me off, just do this for me, come on, you know you want to.’
