51.
This a claim brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a) against Deslin and the

52.
At all relevant times, the Devlins were the officers, employees, managers and
authorized agents of Deslin.
53.
Deslin and the Devlins organized, arranged and conducted the Contests.
54.
In anticipation of the Contests, Deslin and the Devlins knowingly made, printed
or published notices or posted Internet advertisements seeking the participation of minors in
sexually-explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct. Such
notices and advertisements included Internet advertisements soliciting high school-aged children
to imbibe alcohol and to participate in Deslin's self-described "largest pool deck parties," which
were intended and designed to include sexually-explicit conduct by minors and to be videotaped.
55.
Deslin and the Devlins knew or had reason to know that such notices and
advertisements would be transported in interstate or foreign commerce. Alternatively, such
notices and advertisements were transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

56.
Deslin and the Devlins, through their employees and agents, conducted the
Contests in an enclosed pool deck area at the Desert Inn and charged an admission fee for entry
to the pool deck area. At all relevant times, Deslin and the Devlin maintained control over entry
into the pool deck area and other areas of the Desert Inn premises.
57.
In anticipation of the Contests, Deslin and the Devlins hired Goldrush to act as
Master of Ceremonies and deejay for the Contests and to video the Contests.
58.
Deslin and the Devlins, through their employees and agents, persuaded, induced
and enticed the Plaintiff and other minors to participate in the Contests and to engage in
sexually-explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depictions of such conduct.
59.
Goldrush, acting within the scope of its authority granted by Deslin and the
Devlins, persuaded, induced and enticed the Plaintiff and other minors to participate in the
Contests and to engage in sexually-explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual
depictions of such conduct.
60.
Goldrush, acting within the scope of its authority granted by Deslin and the
Devlins, created the Barton Tapes by videotaping the Plaintiff's participation in the Contests,
including the sexually-explicit conduct of the Plaintiff and other minors.
61.
In addition, Deslin and the Devlin knew that many of its customers attending the
Contests would create visual depictions of the Contests. Deslin and the Devlins permitted its
customers to create visual depictions of the Contests because Deslin and the Devlins knew that
such would be beneficial to Deslin, including that the distribution and sharing of images of the
Contests would be a form of advertising for Deslin. Visual depictions created during the
Contests with the permission or consent of Deslin and the Devlins include the Prewitt Tapes and
the Bikinivoyeur Tapes.

62.
The above-stated acts constitute violations by Deslin and the Devlin of 18 U.S.C.
§2251(a).
63.
The above-described acts of Deslin and the Devlin were intentional or were
committed with reckless disregard for or conscious indifference of applicable law, the
consequences of those acts, the exploitive nature of those acts and the rights and safety of the
Plaintiff.
64.
At the time the Barton Tapes and other visual depictions of the Contests were
created, Deslin and the Devlins knew or had reason to know that such would be transported in
interstate or foreign commerce or United States mail. Deslin and the Devlins had this knowledge
because they knew or should have known that many of its customers creating visual depictions
of the Contests were not residents of Florida and would take the visual depictions with them
when they left the state. In addition, Deslin and the Devlins knew or should have known that
visual depictions of Contests from the previous years had been posted on the Internet and that
visual depictions of the 2001 Contests would be posted on the Internet and would, therefore, be
available for viewing and distribution throughout the world. In the alternative, the Barton Tapes
and other visual depictions of the Contests have actually been transported in interstate or foreign
commerce or mailed.
65.
As a proximate cause of the violations of 18 U.S.C. §2251(a), the Plaintiff has
suffered personal injury and other damages.
66.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a), the Plaintiff is entitled to recover damages, her
attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and costs incurred as a result of each and every individual
violation of 18 U.S.C. §2251(a).
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against the defendants named in this count
for damages (including punitive damages) and all remedies available under 18 U.S.C. §2255(a),
