Ronnie, what’s wrong?” Mimi asked, gazing down at me with her toothy smile. “You’re turning blue.”

When Como and Navarro walked into the bedroom, knocking so casually you’d think we’d been expecting them, I just about had an aneurysm. I was cuddling with a lady friend named Mimi, and the moment I saw them standing in the doorway, I threw Mimi to the side and pulled the blanket over me. Como walked over to the bed and sat on the edge, patting the mattress like he was testing its buoyancy.

“I’m a little surprised,” he said, winking at the cameraman who was cowering in the corner. “This seems like a small-time operation for a star of your stature. What, you couldn’t afford a full crew?”

“What are you doing here?” I grumbled at him. “Didn’t we win?”

It was true. Both of the pandering charges against me had been dropped. And it was all thanks to Hal Freeman.

Hal had taken his case to the California Supreme Court, and in late August 1988, his conviction was overturned in a 7-0 decision.

“In order to constitute prostitution,” the court had decided, “the money or other consideration must be paid for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification.” Using this logic, the payments that Hal had made to his performers for the film Caught from Behind 2 were nothing more than “acting fees,” and the director did not “engage in either the requisite conduct nor did he have the requisite [intent] or purpose to establish procurement for purposes of prostitution.”

In a single morning, pornography had become legal in California.

It had a domino effect on the rest of the industry. Every other porn director like myself, who had seen his sets raided by vice cops and been slapped with pandering charges, were suddenly in the clear. Our cases were dropped; there was no longer a legal precedent for convicting us. Freeman had cleared the way for hundreds of adult filmmakers, making the world safe for porn again.

So what the heck were Como and Navarro doing in Mimi’s bedroom?

“Relax,” Como said. “We’re not here to bust anybody. Now that you guys are all legal and everything, we’re just checking in to make sure you have the right permits.”

Como put his arm around me and gave my shoulder a tug. “You’re with the big boys now, Ronnie.”

Navarro took some of the porn stars aside and asked to see their IDs, just to make sure they were over eighteen. But as he was checking, he noticed me slipping something under the mattress.

“By the way,” Navarro said. “You wouldn’t happen to have your address book on you, would you?”

“Very funny,” I snarled.

“Is that what you’re hiding under there?” he said, lifting the mattress and peering underneath. “You worried that we’re gonna confiscate it again?”

I gave them the permits, but I wasn’t happy about it. Though I was thrilled to be legal finally, I thought it was unfair that we were treated like a big-budget Hollywood production. If you had money to burn, as
