NEW BRAUNFELS -- A former porn star known as Barbi Korvette, Slavegirl or Dimii Darkangel was awarded custody of her 3-year-old daughter by a judge who ordered that she not participate in the porn industry.
Comal County Court-at-Law Judge Charles Stephens made his ruling Wednesday in a divorce case, in which Laura Carney's husband, Patrick Carney, tried to gain custody of their daughter.
"We've spent more time talking about pornography and porn stars instead of focusing on what we should, a beautiful 3 1/2-year-old girl," Stephens said in his ruling, as reported in Thursday's San Antonio Express-News.
Laura Carney, 35, accused her husband of pressuring her into the porn industry then using her past against her. Patrick Carney, an American Express Financial employee in San Antonio, said he had little involvement in his wife's work and now teaches Sunday school at his church.
Patrick Carney said he was "disturbed" when he attended a photo shoot that featured a hooded man holding a gun to his wife's head. However, he admitted attending clubs where his wife performed and selling her merchandise, viewing pornography on the Internet and hiring prostitutes.
The judge said he had to award custody to "someone who is an admitted porn entertainer (or) someone who was involved in porn, viewed it and can't remember the last time he's hired a prostitute."
Laura Carney left her husband in 2001. She said she is planning to marry her boyfriend in Indiana and insisted her daughter would be in a "secure and stable" home there.
Stephens granted joint managed conservatorship to both parents, making Laura Carney the primary custodial parent.
