Pornhub Actress Lynn Pleasant Faces Jail For Attempting To Hire Hitman

Pornhub Actress Lynn Pleasant Faces Jail For Attempting To Hire Hitman

She hired the 'killer' - an undercover cop - to kill the father of her child

Pornhub actress Lynn Pleasant is facing a lengthy stint in prison for agreeing to pay a 'hitman' £4,000 to assassinate her son's father.

The 31-year-old porn star's plan was scuppered when the person she thought was a hitman revealed themselves to be an undercover police officer.

Now, she has pleaded guilty at a court and is awaiting judgement. Pleasant, real name Katrina L Danforth, admitted her crimes on Monday and faces a potential 10 years behind bars for each of the five counts that she has been convicted of.

However, she might get a lighter sentence because she has not been arrested before.

The case began when Danforth told a friend of her desire to have the father of one of her children - identified in court records only as R.H. - killed.

Her friend then gave her the number of a hitman - the aforementioned undercover cop - and she agreed to meet him in October 2018.

The court records state: "At the meeting, she agreed to pay $5,000 in exchange for the murder"

She also 'had specific requirements that the hitman was to accomplish, such as R.H's body had to be found and (she) did not care if others who lived in the home were harmed as long as her own child was not harmed'.

The same court records state that Danforth then met with the man for a second time days afterwards and told him where R.H worked, showed him photographs of the victim, and provided paperwork to help with planning the attempted murder.

US Assistant Attorney Traci Whelan said: "On Nov. 10, 2018, Danforth mailed a thank you card with $2,500 in it from Idaho to the hitman's address in Montana,

"This money was the down payment for the hit with the remaining $2,500 to be paid after R.H. was murdered."

If found guilty, the maximum sentence for each count is 10 years. She can also be fined as much as $250,000 (£205,000) for each count.

The intended victim was not harmed in the end, but remains unidentified for safety reasons.

Danforth is currently being held in jail whilst she awaits judgement because prosecutors argued that she presents a 'serious risk of flight and danger to the community'.

Danforth, of Post Falls in Idaho, was voted the Best Part Time Amateur Model at the Adult Webcam Awards in 2015.

However, another online profile claims that she has retired from the adult industry. Her IMDb page shows that she shot eight movies between 2005 and 2010.
