To quote Monty Python "Come see the violence inherent in the system!"
Seems a bit silly to send someone to prison for many months, and make them live at a 'halfway house', just because they failed to "consent" to be a slave.
I guess she really was an 'enema of the state'.

HUNTINGTON BEACH -- A porn star from Surf City who posed as a nurse on the cover of Blink 182's album "Enema of the State" was sentenced to six months in federal prison for tax evasion and ordered to pay almost $300,000 in outstanding taxes, according to published reports.

Janine James, 40, was ordered Monday to live in a residential community corrections center for up to six months after her release from prison and to serve one year of supervised release, The News Review in Oregon reported.

James, known in the adult film world as Janine Lindemulder, pleaded guilty last summer in a Eugene, Ore. court to intentionally failing to pay her income taxes. The Penthouse model admitted making a down payment on a $647,000 Eugene home and buying a Jeep, recreational vehicle, piano and furniture while owing $300,000 in federal income taxes, the U.S. Attorney's office said.

She used nearly $163,000 from her divorce settlement from her former husband, Jesse James, owner of the West Coast Choppers motorcycle fabricator shop and host of the Monster Garage television show on the Discovery Channel, to purchase the home, the Review said.

They like to make examples of high profile, high dollar slaves that step out of line. Kind of like putting the enemy's heads on pikes around the castle wall. So much for balance of the law.

I think she out-smarted them.

I think she out-smarted them.

How so?

Its likely the house has devaluated...destroying an equity they may have tried to seize...
And at 40, she must be at the end of her professional peak... so garnishing future wages won't amount to much.

What the heck are they going to do? Take it out in trade?

This isn't as bad as the Porn star they arrested for being in what they considered illegal porn just because he did things they didn't agree with. Not saying busting someone for Tax evasion is bad, it is. But it's more horrible to put someone in prison for a consensual act between 2 consenting adults due to them not liking the content. Sorry I don't have a link, but FTL did talk about it a month or 2 ago.

He was involved in "fetish" porn, adult girls pretending to be under age, also involved in golden shower porn from what I understood.

Thanks for the link, thats him. Not saying I agree with his video's but he shouldn't be in prison for making them if it's consensual. If it's not find a women who wasn't consenting and charge him with rape. Otherwise, leave him along along with this lady.
