STATEMENT REGARDING DONATION
FROM GIRLFRIENDS FILMS
MAY 3, 2012
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) learned
through media reports this morning that Girlfriends Films and adult entertainment
performer RayVeness had announced they were making a donation in the
amount of $1,000 to NCMEC as a part of a charitable giving program.
While NCMEC appreciates the interest they have expressed in protecting
children from abuse and neglect, NCMEC was not consulted nor advised
about the donation before the announcement was made, did not authorize
the use of the organization’s name in a news release that was issued
on May 2, 2012, and will not accept the donation.
NCMEC has informed Girlfriends Films that the organization will not
be accepting the $1,000 donation, requested that they discontinue promoting
NCMEC as a recipient of their charitable giving program, and also requested
that they not solicit donations from their fans and supporters on behalf
of NCMEC. If NCMEC determines that any money received is from members
of the adult entertainment industry, it will be returned.
