In spring 2018, Leigh Raven and Riley Nixon released a more than one hour-long YouTube video detailing two different incidents of alleged abuse on adult film sets. They say both events took place during shoots with the male performer Rico Strong, and for a director known as Just Dave. Their accusations include misleading booking practices, excessive face-slapping and choking, and boundary violations.^[24]

In Raven’s case, the shoot in question took place in March 2018.

Raven says she has filed a police report and undergone a medical evaluation as part of the investigation.^[24]

The YouTube testimonial, which was filmed and uploaded by Raven’s wife Nikki Hearts begins with nearly 40 minutes of Raven’s detailed and graphic description of the shoot. Wearing a hoodie and facing the camera head-on, she says that Strong, whom she considered a friend, called her to ask if she could replace a no-show performer in a shoot that day. Raven, who is white, says that Strong, who is black, told her that it was a "kinda rough" scene with "light racial play," and that he would be referring to her as "'my little saltine' or 'my little cracker.'" She agreed and showed up on the set that afternoon, where Raven says a production assistant similarly told her that the scene would be "a little rough." But in fact, she later says the "race play" didn’t seem as "light" as she had initially believed.^[24]
