WINNIPEG – Two sheriff’s officers are threatening to seek a court injunction that would order a local porn star to remove a naughty homemade sex tape of their menage a trois with her from her Web site.
But a lawyer representing the porn star, who goes only by the name Oshean, promised to fight any attempts to censor the content of the Web site.
David Guttman said Thursday his client had written consent from the couple to film and post the video of their tryst.
“They are going to have to make a case for unauthorized use or invalid consent,” he said.
The two sheriffs – a man and woman who are involved in a relationship – were suspended without pay in late December after justice officials learned of the video showing them in consensual sex acts with Oshean.
Neither were on duty or in uniform – they weren’t actually wearing much at all – and the video was apparently shot during Grey Cup week in November.
Oshean’s website reveals an explicit, 45-second clip of the video and encourages visitors to purchase a membership to see the entire romp.
The Web site, which offers up several videos, promises: “No paid actors and no script . . . this is REAL reality porn.”
Jeff Schnoor, assistant deputy minister of courts, said last month the discipline handed out to the two sheriffs was a precautionary move to avoid any backlash for not taking action.
Just days later both sheriffs were cleared to return to duty. However, the couple showed up for work on Monday and immediately signed off on stress leave.
Oshean has previously said in an e-mail statement that she was shocked the case has attracted so much attention.
“I don’t understand all the fuss directed toward the couple,” she said. “They were the nicest people you’d ever meet. It’s my understanding that like any Canadian citizen, when they leave work they can participate in any legal activity they choose.”
