Courts - More on: "Jurists seal cases of colleagues: Litigants include relatives of those with ties to court"
"Kept confidential are the name of the judge who sealed the lawsuit, the names of the lawyers who litigated the case, the judge's reasoning in sealing the case, and whether Darrian or her ex-husband requested the case be hidden from her fans."
Continuing to follow the Las Vegas Review-Journal stories on cases decided in secret in the Nevada court system (see Feb. 12th ILB entry here), the Review-Journal ran a story by Frank Geary on Valentine's Day (access it here) headed "Porn star bares all except lawsuit against ex." A few quotes from the lengthy story:
Because she is the star in nearly 100 porn movies, it's hard to imagine that Penthouse Pet Racquel Darrian is shy about much.Her age, weight, bra size, eye and hair color, sexual orientation, cosmetic surgery, one-time drug habit, tattoo, favorite actor, favorite food and sexual fantasy are broadcast on carnal Web sites that speak glowingly of the temptress, known in her prime as the "brunette goddess of porn."
But kept confidential from Darrian's legion of lustful onlookers are the dispute, deliberations and outcome of a lawsuit she filed in Clark County in 2000 against her former husband and porn co-star, Bradley Gerig, who went by the stage name Derrick Lane in the 1990s, according to Web sites devoted to the adult-entertainment industry.
