LOS ANGELES, Mar 8 (AFP): The top US college where a student has revealed she works as a porn actress to pay her fees said Friday she has broken no rules, and stressed that financial aid is available.
First-year student "Belle Knox" of Duke University, who has received threats, outed herself this week to explain she was doing porn because she needs the money for her education.
But the student insisted she was not ashamed, and on the contrary enjoys doing it-while admitting that she would not have chosen that path if it weren't for her $60,000 a year in tuition fees.
"We are in a society where we are so repressed, every single day. We're told that sex is bad. We're told not to have sex. We're told not to show our bodies, and that's really true for women," she told CNN.
"To be in porn and to be able to be naked and to be able to be free and have that sexual autonomy, it is so incredibly freeing."
