RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. — The pretrial hearing in the Mercedes Carrera criminal case concerning multiple child sexual abuse charges against her and her husband — which was supposed to happen today at the Rancho Cucamonga courthouse in San Bernardino County, California — has been postponed once again, until May 5.

Carrera and her husband Jason Whitney were arrested after a police raid of their Rancho Cucamonga home on February 1, 2019. They have been in county jail without trial since then, first without bail and later, after they had liquidated their assets and had no source of income due to their incarceration, with bail set at $2 million for each.

A pretrial hearing to determine the jury selection process, and the date of the beginning of the actual trial, has already been postponed numerous times.

The new date of May 5 — like several previous postponements — appeared online in a document filed today.

The document shows the hearing took place today with District Attorney Laura Fragoso and a Conflict Panel attorney, Geoff Newman, standing for the accused.

LOS ANGELES — OnlyFans content creator Reno Gold is the subject of a profile newly published by Interview Magazine that examines the 25-year-old stripper-turned-entrepreneur’s meteoric rise as a clip artist.

Gold revealed he now owns five condominiums and employs his own mother as a property manager.

“[OnlyFans] has completely changed my life,” he told Interview. “I’ve been able to give back to my community, which is the biggest thing for me. It makes me feel the best. I pledged to donate a week’s worth of my earnings from OnlyFans to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. And in that week I raised $27,000 and donated all of it to the foundation, which was such a blessing.”

He notes his properties were “all paid off in cash.”

“I started a college fund for my niece and nephew. And then also it just gives me security, because when I was dancing, I wasn’t able to have normal relationships because I was just moving around so much to work. I would go to a different city every single week,” he said. “So it’s given me some stability and also just a creative outlet. I put out a new video every single week in a different location with a different scenario and different outfit. So I’m doing so many different things. I’m directing. I’m doing wardrobe. I just get to be very creative and it challenges me every day. I love it so much.”

The performer recalled not putting too much effort into OnlyFans at first, as he was “making a killing” as a stripper. His profile — and his income — exploded once Gold increased his output to daily uploads and began cross-promoting on other social media platforms.

“My YouTube videos were getting millions of views and going viral on Twitter, so my YouTube is what blew up my OnlyFans,” he noted.

Gold also discusses his diet and future plans and offers his advice about dealing with negative feedback and trolling.

LOS ANGELES — VR Bangers has announced the release of two new fantasies. One stars Blanche Bradburry in “Carte Blanche” and the other features Alura Jenson in “At All Costs.”

In “Carte Blanche,” Bradburry stars as a woman who just lost all of her money gambling and is willing to do anything to get that money back.

“‘Carte Blanche’ is a VR porn scene that, we are more than sure, happens all the time in real life of Vegas — but since it was still pretty unlikely that such a situation happened for all of our fans, we have decided to turn it into a VR fantasy of ours,” Producer Mike Henigan said. “Blanche is not only the inspiration for the name of this VR porn movie but also a perfect fit for the main role in this fantasy in the immersive virtual reality.”

“We believe that all our fans and members are going to enjoy her company both during the game and when you will be doing something other than just playing cards,” he added.

“Carte Blanche” can be found here.

“At All Costs” centers on Jenson doing whatever it takes to help her husband get his job back.

“This office VR movie boosted by a hot MILF is the latest idea of ours that will give a whole lot of joy to all the fans of busty VR porn performers,” Henigan said. “Are you one of those people? Then don your VR headset as soon as possible and join Alura in ‘At All Costs.'”

PENNSAUKEN, N.J. — Williams Trading Co. has expanded its range of cannabis-inspired products with three new items from Maia Toys, including the Sativa Remote Control Panty Teaser in purple, the Maui Rechargeable Silicone Posable 420 Rabbit and Doobies 420 Butt Plugs in a set of three.

“Sativa, the newest cannabis leaf-shaped panty teaser, features 10 functions and a remote control. This panty teaser does not come with underwear because it fits most panties,” a rep explained. “The Sativa is made of medical-grade silicone, and is fully waterproof and submersible.”

The rep described the Maui Rechargeable Silicone Posable 420 Rabbit Style Vibrator as “not the typical rabbit.”

“The clitoral stimulator is a wide cannabis leaf, which offers more contact with a woman’s most sensitive area,” continued the rep. “The shaft of this rabbit is not just flexible — it holds whatever position the user bends it into. Featuring two motors, the Maui offers 10 functions in both the shaft and the clitoral arm, and is made of sleek medical-grade silicone. This rabbit is completely waterproof and can be submerged in a bath.”

The Maui also features a USB charger and comes with a one-year warranty.  

“Though the Doobies Anal Training Kit is non-vibrating, each rimmed and contoured plug offers users plenty of stimulation,” the rep said. “The base of each plug features a cannabis leaf that keeps the plug in place, and the sleek tapered shape makes for easy insertion. Made of medical-grade silicone, users should only use water-based lubricant. The set comes with a 90 day warranty.”

Williams Trading Sales and Marketing Director Scott D noted “very positive sales results for the Kusha Cannabis Rabbit and the 420 Jessie and Jane products.”

“This Cannabis theme is definitely resonating with consumers, and the expansion of this line by Maiai Toys is sure to generate a lot of bestsellers,” he added.

For retail support, the products are supported with testers for brick-and-mortar locations and a full product review by Zach from Maia Toys on “Williams Trading Co. Weekly Picks” on XBIZ.tv.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s controversial “porn filter” bill passed the State Senate this afternoon on a 19-6 vote (with four absences), a Salt Lake City capitol source told XBIZ.

The bill, introduced into the Utah Senate last month by staunch anti-porn crusader Wayne A. Harper, is now headed to the Governor’s desk to be signed into law.

On February 19, the Utah House of Representatives passed an amended version of the controversial bill that would mandate a default “porn filter” on any phones, computers, tablets or any other electronic devices sold in the state starting in 2022.

HB 72, sponsored by Rep. Susan Pulsipher (R-South Jordan) — a realtor with no technology experience — was speedily passed by the House only hours after it had cleared the committee stage by the narrowest of margins (a 6-5 vote).

Members of Utah trade associations, tech company lobbies and free speech groups all advocated against HB 72.

If passed, the mandatory filters — from which for-profit, faith-based software companies have been profiting for some time — would have to be activated by default in 2022 if certain additional conditions, attached to the bill as an amendment, are met.

According to analysts, international manufacturers of phones and computers like Apple or Google could face civil liability if they don’t comply.
