Shane, I'm so glad you shared this information with us. I never understood John's foray into porn, except that maybe he had trouble getting work, due to the wildly unfair image of him in the public sphere. The media made him not only a willing, but an enthusiastic, participant in porn. I'm glad you were able to help him, and to correct the record here.

I always felt that he had been victimized in multiple ways. After her viciously violent attempt at murder (with how much bleeding was likely), there was her brutal character assassination to justify her assault, aided and abetted by the media, then decades of being a punchline, while his assailant was lionized. That the porn "career" had also been another way he was victimized fits with all the awfulness he has forced to endure.
