X-Con II plans to donate a percentage of ticket sales from its August 1 adult entertainment show to Adult Sites Against Child Pornography.
"There is no cause more worthy of donation than the fight against child porn," X-Con II organizer Layla Jade said announcing the plan. Jade has been a prime advocate of ASACP's work and said she was "delighted" to contribute.
ASACP executive director Joan Irvine applauded the X-Con II decision. "Now that we have 'how clean is your traffic" being tested internally, people are even more supportive [of us]," she said. "ASACP is doing what it said it would and is providing a method to help the industry self-regulate."
