Gamma Drops Craven Moorehead Over On-Set Sexual Assault Allegation

LOS ANGELES — Gamma Films Group has announced they have parted ways with a third-party contracted director, Craven Moorehead, after a performer released a video last Friday alleging a sexual assault on one of the company’s sets.

“We will no longer work with Black Wings Media and its director Craven Moorehead when we eventually resume production,” Karl Bernard, president of Gamma Films Group told XBIZ today.

On June 5, performer Aria Lee released a video via Twitter with the caption “Coming out please listen to my story.” In the video, Lee reads an anonymous letter sent to another adult industry trade publication alleging “a coverup going on at Gamma” regarding “porn performer Aria Lee” having “accused Craven Moorehead of raping her on set, [on] October 11, 2019.”

The anonymous letter read by Lee alleges the Moorehead forced Lee into a bathroom “to give him oral sex” during a Gamma shoot.

Later that day, the adult industry trade publication in question published an interview with Lee, reportedly done after the release of the video, where Lee gave a first-person account of the incident.

Lee told the reporter that during a lunch break, she asked Moorehead to show her the bathroom and then "he was like, 'Of course, I'll walk you up there, this place is confusing.' He was being nice. I thought he was being a good director. And he takes me to the bathroom, as I'm closing the door, he rushes in, pushes the door closed, pushes me down to my knees, takes his dick out and then makes me suck his dick — and he just walked out and acted like nothing happened."

During the interview, Lee also alleged a second sexual assault two months later when Moorehead cast her as an extra in a music video.

After the second incident, in January 2020, Lee contacted Gamma Films Group through a lawyer about the October on-set assault allegation.

"They said they were hiring a private investigator," Lee told the reporter, "and he did a full investigation of the whole thing. I agreed to take a polygraph test, but Craven said he would not. And then Gamma just pretty much let it go."

On Friday, Gamma confirmed that the company was “made aware of allegations of misconduct by one of our independent third-party producers that may violate our Code of Conduct. In accordance with our usual due process for such situations, we have performed an independent investigation into these allegations — the conclusion of that investigation was that it has been impossible to validate the veracity of the allegations in question.”

“We never tolerate misconduct on the part of anyone involved with our production projects, as this violates our Code of Conduct,” the Gamma statement added.

Sometime between Friday and today, Gamma’s president Karl Bernard officially confirmed to XBIZ, they decided to part ways with Moorehead and his third-party production company.
