Porn star Cytherea was held at gunpoint on the floor of her own living room while three masked teenagers took turns raping her. Her two children were in the next room. She'd quit the industry years ago - she was just a mom living in the suburbs of Las Vegas. In the mid-2000s she was one of the biggest names in adult entertainment. Won AVN's Best New Starlet. Appeared in over 350 films. She was the face you recognized even if you didn't follow the industry. Then she walked away. Retired to raise her kids. Moved to a quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of Vegas and never looked back. On January 19, 2015, at around 10 PM, three teenagers armed with guns kicked in her front door. Qumaire Rainey, 18. Edward London, 17. Casey Franks, 16. They held the entire family at gunpoint - Cytherea, her husband, her two children. They ransacked the house, took everything they could carry. Then they gang-raped her. Multiple times. While her children were forced to stay in the home. Police tracked down all three within weeks. They were indicted on rape, kidnapping and home invasion charges. All three were tried as adults. The adult industry rallied around her. A crowdfunding campaign doubled its goal in days. Colleagues spoke out. Fans donated thousands. But mainstream media barely touched the story. Feminist outlets that would have led with any other gang rape of a mother in her own home stayed silent. Because the victim used to do porn. Cytherea posted a video on YouTube after the attack. She looked into the camera, thanked her supporters and said she wouldn't let it destroy her. Her husband Timothy died the following year at 52. Three armed teenagers broke into a mother's home, held her children at gunpoint and gang-raped her. And the world shrugged because of what she used to do for a living. Does what a woman did for work mean she deserved less protection, less outrage and less justice?
