Porn actor and producer James Deen “vigorously denies” accusations that he violated workplace safety laws by failing to provide condoms on set.
“I gave the performers the option to perform with condoms, however they desired not to use condoms and I honored their requests,” Deen said in a statement to TheWrap on Thursday.
As TheWrap previously reported, Deen’s production company is facing fines up to $77,875 for the violations.
But Deen says he never put any of his actors at risk.
“At no point was any adult performer exposed to any disease while working for James Deen Productions,” Deen said.
