Unbelievable
Nightmare In Panama
| Adult
film maker Fred Salaff, (aka Clayton Blacquemoor) is a well-known
photographer and adult filmmaker, with 18 years in the adult
industry, American Citizen Fred Salaff and is best regarded
for his luscious photography of black women. He along with
an associate, Stefano Simone and three crew members from a
US production company were working on location in Panama.
They are in prison where the jail and justice system there
are reportedly atrocious, even by third world standards. |

To
make matters worse, Salaff has serious health problems requiring
expensive medications. According to Fred he had received clear,
written assurances from local authorities that there was no law
in Panama against filming adult entertainment, so he arranged
for his Panama home to be used for a shoot.
The most serious charge against Salaff and Simone is apparently
“Corruption of Minors” because some local kids climbed trees to
be able to peak over the high walls surrounding the video set.
Money
is the main problem now. Fred has switched attorneys after paying
the first one $6000 and then after being told he did not have
more money the 1st lawyer took the money and ran.
UPDATE-
June 4, 2007 NOT GUILTY!!!!
Fred
Salaff wrote the following on his web site about the whole experience-
"The
judge has signed her verdict of "INNOCENT." It has been 2 1/2
years of a nightmare, gross travesty of justice, loss of reason,
separation from family and all the rest; but it's finally over!
Now
comes the request for the government to return my equipment and
other belongings confiscated illegally at the time of my arrest,
January 23, 2005. I have been told I am resilient and will bounce
back. Perhaps this is true. Yesterday's news was certainly a good
start on another chapter in my life.
I have to thank all my friends and supporters who believed in
me from the beginning of this nightmare, my lawyers Dixsiana Lorena
Acosta and Eugenio Morice for their excellent work, and to my
family, especially my dear wife Nivi."
