All this evidence about murder, and under the conspiracy laws, I'm responsible for this stuff. All the tax evasion, all the murders, all the beatings, I'm responsible for all this stuff. I'm the only artist ever, good or bad, of any kind, to be prosecuted by the Federal Government.

The director Jerry Damiano sat on trial, sat on the witness chair and pointed and said, 'yeah, that's the guy who had sex in my movie' and he was let go. Same with Linda Lovelace, 'That's the guy I had sex with in the movie DEEP THROAT', I was the defendant, they were witnesses, it makes no sense.

This was the infancy of the industry... There were a lot of rough people around.

There were 9 defendants, me and 8 Mafiosos, members of the Colombo family. ... There was evidence that they had an inside informant, he ended up murdered, they found his car with 2 bloody fingers...

Because then, legal minds outside of the adult-film industry were outraged, and the so-called 'legitimate' people that came to his defense [Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Dick Cavett, etc.] were enough to stop them.

Linda Lovelace and Gerry Damiano were witnesses for the government, ... They were granted immunity. I was not. They took the stand, pointed at me and said 'Yes, that's the guy.'
