Philly's Stoya accuses porn star ex-James Deen of rape

Stoya, the porn actor, writer and erstwhile Philadelphian, accused former boyfriend and costar James Deen of rape on Saturday.

Stoya has yet to file charges and has gone silent on Twitter, but her accusations have inspired two other women to come forward to accuse Deen, who GQ described as the "Well Hung Boy Next Door" in a 2012 feature by award-winning author Wells Tower. "The reason I put him on my 'no list' was because he almost raped me," Ashley Fires told the Daily Beast. Tori Lux penned a Daily Beast essay detailing an alleged encounter she had with Deen. Joanna Angel, another one of Deen's exes and an industry veteran, tweeted her support of Stoya. The hashtag #SolidarityWithStoya trended worldwide.

Deen has since vehemently denied the claims via his Twitter account. A sex advice column he wrote for The Frisky, has already been terminated.

Stoya was born in North Carolina, growing up in Delaware and Philadelphia, where she got her start in the business. Stoya writes regularly for outlets such as Vice, The Verge, and the New York Times.
