Regarding my solo debut, I'm somewhat pressured by it, somewhat burdened by it, but at the same time, I'm really excited about it," he said. Mena's dream job would be acting in mainstream film and TV, but she's also considering getting her nursing degree. 'Being in the adult industry kind of hurts you a little bit, so who knows,' she says. 'I don't care what people say about me. I just don't want it to affect my children. That's all I care about.' In October 1985, I attended a pop concert against my parents' wishes. By the end of the night I had been gang raped in circumstances similar to those alleged by the 17-year-old girl accusing several men, including Premiership footballers, of raping her at the Grosvenor House hotel. The men who raped me weren't celebrities and they weren't even rich. In reality they were nobodies. But to me, a 14-year-old girl, only 4ft 11in tall, with very limited experience of the world, they were glamour personified.

At the time of the photoshoot, Mena was seven months pregnant with her son, shortly after friends and family had thrown her a baby shower. 'My husband and I are really excited,' she says. 'And my daughter's excited to be a big sister.'

She thought people would be able to tell right away that she'd had a baby. 'I'm constantly concerned about every time I get undressed in front of a camera. I look for people's reactions.' I was scared of this project for a while because I didn't know how I would find subjects or if these women would be open to sharing their stories,' she wrote.The light went out and Liam started touching me. I whispered, no, said it wasn't right with his friends there, and asked again to go downstairs. But he wasn't even listening. He had sex with me. I won't say this was rape, though it was statutory rape because of my age, but I was uncomfortable and uncooperative, hating every second of it. I thought that if I just let him do it, it would be over and I would be able to wait out the long hours until it was safe to go home without arousing my parents' suspicions. But then the light was on and Phil said, "Can we join in?" And Liam said, "Be my guest." None of them asked me. So fellas in the place to be, you wanna be with me or your lady? But for the night, don’t get in my hair Before, I definitely embraced who I was in the adult industry and didn't really care how people thought about it. I was like, This is what I am, this is who I am, this is what I like to do. Now I like having more of a conservative image and being a mom. That's been the biggest transition for me, just realizing that there's still a whole other side of me.' Now, YEDAM is embarking on a new chapter: Solo artist.

YEDAM wanted to create something others could relate to. "When I'm writing music, there are some parts that I do it because I just love writing music," he said. "There's also another part of me that does it because I want to see other people enjoy my music. I feel like it's a process of preparing a gift for someone." I applaud the 17-year-old's ability to tell her parents and go to the police. Much of my anger is at myself for my inability to do these things. At the age of 14, I could only see that it was my fault. I lied to my parents, I agreed to go to the house, I didn't know how to stop the men raping me and so how could I face my family with that amount of shame? I didn't report the rape until many years later, and even then I decided in the end that I couldn't go through with it. I had moved away and wanted to forget it had ever happened.

Brookes wasn't planning on returning to work in the adult entertainment industry after becoming a mom. 'But you do what you gotta do,' she says. After having my son [I realized], I'm a single mom and oh shit, what can I do that's going to bring in income now?' She hated the idea of putting her son in daycare to take a 9-to-5 job.

He has aspirations and things he wants to achieve but takes each day as it comes.
