Joe says: “Now that the father has identified himself, his ex-wife, and daughter, what more can I say? His poor judgment even extends to identifying his employer, a prestigious NASA lab operated by Cal Tech. This is a high-up guy; he is essentially the most senior mechanical engineer at JPL, approving every spacecraft mechanism, robotic device, and scientific instrument — and he besmirches the institutions that he works for? The guy’s in denial. The mother and sister will have the sense to stay quiet, even if the press hounds them.”
Vox Day tweets: “Gian Gomeshi: arrested for sexual assault. John Scalzi: self-admitted rapist. James Deen: accused of sexual battery. All male feminists.”
Seven women have accused porn star James Deen of violent rape and sexual assault but his father stands by his side.
‘He’s a sweet kid,’ Don Sevilla, 62, a top NASA rocket scientist, told Daily Mail Online exclusively. ‘How they can say this about him is beyond me.’
Sevilla, who works at the prestigious Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, California, was shocked when Deen’s ex-lover and porn colleague Stoya claimed last weekend that he had raped her.
She was the first to come forward followed by several other women in the past week.
‘When you’re in that business [porn], putting your sexuality out there as a plaything, I don’t know what that does to intimacy in your private life. I’m sure it must be difficult to deal with.
‘There’s a lot of anger out there and in their world, the adult movie industry, they have a lot of tools in their toolboxes to express that anger.
‘I think that if they have a problem with Bryan, they should work it out with him themselves in private, not in public like this.’
Deen, 29, who’s real name is Bryan Sevilla, has vehemently denied the allegations against him.
His dad added: ‘I support him. He’s my son and I love him.’
The accusations began Saturday when Stoya took to Twitter saying: ‘James Deen held me down and f***ed me while I said no, stop, used my safeword. I just can’t nod and smile when people bring him up anymore.’
That was quickly followed by two other accusations, one from ex-porn star Tori Lux who claims he violently hit her and held her to his crotch on set and then from adult film actress Ashley Fires, who says he tried to rape her in the shower on one occasion.
Porn star Amber Rayne revealed to The Daily Beast that after she called Deen a ‘b****’ during a shoot, he had anal sex with her so violently that she bled and needed stitches.
Porn actress Kora Peters also told The Daily Beast that she refused anal sex during one shoot but that Deen shoved her face into a sofa and forced himself on her.
Another unnamed woman told the LAist she was raped by Deen as a crowd watched inside a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009.
And a seventh woman, porn actress Nicki Blue, now tells Daily Mail Online in an exclusive interview that Deen raped her with a beer bottle in an off-camera attack at a wrap party.
Another one of Deen’s ex-girlfriends, porn star Joanna Angel who he dated for six years until 2010, angrily blasted him on Twitter saying, ‘He’s dead on the inside and dead to me. He’s literally the worst person I’ve ever met.’
Joanna’s comment was particularly hurtful to Sevilla senior. ‘It saddens me very much,’ he revealed to Daily Mail Online at his neat, two-story home in an upscale section of Tujunga, north of Los Angeles. ‘Joanna is a sweet girl and I liked her very much.
‘She’s terrific and she has a great family – I used to spend a lot of time with Bryan and Joanna. They were friends and lovers for years, it’s so sad that it should come to this.’
Deen grew up in upper middle class Pasadena. He was raised by highly educated parents – his father and his mom Carol, 60, both scientists.
The porn star says he had a ‘great childhood’ along with his older sister Rachel.
He has frequently claimed that he decided at the age of 8 he wanted to be in porn, after seeing an adult movie for the first time.
In a 2013 interview with the American Jewish publication, The Forward, he said: ‘In third grade we were talking about what we wanted to do when we grew up… My response was that I wanted to do porn.
‘It was just “Ha, ha, ha, what do you really want to do?” and I said, “No, I really want to do porn.” I ended up getting suspended because they thought I was disrupting the class.’
He told GQ in 2012 that he lost his virginity at the age of 12 during a sleepover at a Jewish camp.
His parents split up when he was a teenager and after toying with drugs in junior high, he quit school at 15 and for the next two years hung out with a ‘bunch of gutter punks,’ often sleeping in parks and abandoned buildings around Pasadena.
He got his act together at 17, moving in with his father and enrolling in classes at Pasadena City College which he paid for by working at Starbucks.
But he was still determined to get into porn, so he started going to Hollywood parties to make contacts.
That paid off. A stripper he met introduced him to an X-rated movie casting agent who posted the well-endowed young hopeful’s naked photo online.
His phone started ringing off the hook and in 2004, at the age of 18, he made his porn debut in a film called Art School Sluts.
He adopted the name James Deen which was inspired by the nickname he was given in junior high for the way he used to hold a cigarette.
