(Los Angeles, CA / March 10, 2025) –

Cherie DeVille is at the center of ABC News’ revealing report on the battle over online age-verification laws, as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on measures that could change how Americans access adult content.

The segment, “Porn Industry, Parent Groups Clash Over Online Age-Verification Laws”, spotlights DeVille’s outspoken stance on the issue, featuring her perspective on the unintended consequences of such legislation.

“This isn’t a whim or something that I’m going to do for a week. I love this job. It’s very good business for me,” DeVille told ABC News from the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas this January, pushing back against growing efforts to impose digital ID checks on adult websites.

As 19 states enact laws requiring users to upload government-issued IDs or complete biometric scans before viewing adult content, DeVille warns that these restrictions not only threaten the livelihoods of legal performers and platforms but also create a dangerous vacuum where unregulated and exploitative content flourishes.

“It’s going to be a massive amount of monetary loss, and I think you’re going to see an explosion of illegal, unethical porn because they don’t care and they won’t comply,” she said. “I do not care what you think about porn. This should terrify you because this is a massive government overstep in one of our most cherished things in the United States.”

Following ABC News’ report, DeVille reinforced her stance on the subject, emphasizing that while child safety is paramount, the proposed verification systems are deeply flawed. “If this method of age verification were truly effective, I would support it. But in reality, it’s easy to bypass, and only legal sites will comply—leaving illegal and often dangerous content as the only unrestricted option. Instead, we need a real, device-based solution that protects all children from content not meant for them, not just adult material.

“If the true goal were child safety, there would be a serious effort to implement real protections such as device-based restrictions. Instead, it’s clear this is just an attempt to eradicate the legal adult industry. Love us or hate us, but make no mistake—legislation like this puts your freedom of speech on the line.”
