Airbnb host sues guest who filmed “hard-core gay porn”

The owner of a luxury historic Californian mansion is suing a man who rented her property through Airbnb under a pseudonym to film “hard-core gay porn”.

Kristina Knapic, the owner of the 1920s Spanish-influenced Acacia mansion in Ojai, California found numerous “enema kits”, “sexual devices” and “bodily fluids” in her home, after leasing the property for five days in August, reports The Smoking Gun.

Knapic believed she would be renting out the mansion to a woman named “Anna” and a group of her friends who were staying at the house, which costs around £730 a night, “for a quick summer vacation”.

But in a complaint filed to the Ventura Superior Court on November 19, Knapic alleges “Anna”, the supposed renter, was actually Andrei Treivas, a gay porn star, director and producer known professionally as Michael Lucas, after she discovered his business card at the property.

Pictures of the mansion also appeared across the social media accounts of Lucas Entertainment, the adult entertainment company owned by Lucas.

“Enema kits were found throughout the house – on the floors, in the beds, in [the] nightstand drawer and in the trash”, read the lawsuit.

“Various sexual devices were found in the beds and in the trash, the hot tub was brownish in colour, and the linen was stained brown.”

The lawsuit said Knapic used a black light to discover “the presence of bodily fluids” throughout the mansion, which included “urine, semen and fecal matter”, forcing her to “decontaminate” the property by bleaching and repainting all the walls, steam cleaning upholstery and shampooing the carpets in what has become an ongoing endeavour.

Citing fraud, negligence, trespass and breach of contract, Knapic is asking for damages of nearly £20,000, while also alleging the “pornographic images and films” made in the property would “damage” its “reputation and image.”

The lawsuit also demands that Lucas must not sell or distribute any footage which was created at the house.

Knapic told Daily Mail Online the group did not attempt to cover up what had gone on or clean up their mess.

“This is meant to be a romantic wedding venue and they came in and defiled it,’ she said.

“They broke one of the beds, the mattresses are toast and I’ve had to reject future reservations to clean it,” she said.

Lucas denied damaging the property.

“We were told and we have it in writing as well that the mansion was in perfect condition,” he said in NY Daily News.

“In fact, we were told that the mansion was cleaner and in a better condition than it was before.”
