Lots of pictures of Shelley and Pink Cross at the convention can be seen at thepinkcross.org. There are lots of pictures there with many well known porn stars. Shelley was also followed by an MTV camera crew for their ‘True Life’ series which will air in April.
A video of Savannah and her story are all after the jump.
From Shelley’s Myspace blog:

Deaf Porn Star Savannah Jane Leaves Porn and Joins Pink Cross Foundation in Vegas!
Current mood:AMAZED AT GOD!!
Porn Star Savannah Jane Leaves Porn!
I first met Adina, known as Porn Star Savannah Jane, at EroticaLA in June, 2008, (see picture below) and we began talking through email. Pink Cross Foundation reached out to her with a care package and lots of love and our friendship blossomed. I will never forget when I first met her that I immediately saw her intelligence and amazing heart. She is a wonderful Jewish woman from Florida with a Social Worker’s degree from Rochester Institute of Technology and has also been a bounty hunter in the Los Angeles area. She is no dumb woman! But amazingly, she is deaf and still has persevered through so much in life.
I asked her why she entered porn and she told me she was going through a divorce and the bills piled up. It’s always about the money. But girls rarely understand they will actually pay a higher price than any amount of money the porn industry will pay them!
Adina paid a huge price. Destroyed relationships. She caught Gonorrhea and several yeast infections. She was physically abused on the set. Torn body parts. Subjected to drugs. Yeah she paid a huge price and all the money she made she spent on beauty and the porn lifestyle. Now she’s speaking out and wants the porn industry to stop abusing women.
A social worker by training, she entered porn in July, 07 and decided she’d had enough and quit porn in January, 2009, joining Pink Cross Foundation at AEE Convention in Las Vegas. It was so awesome to see her and have her part of our team! (Look at that big smile to the left!)
I’m so proud of you Adina!!
Adina has been very honest with me sharing about her childhood and how her father beat her often when she was growing up. She says he even put a belt around her neck and hung her up in an elevator when she ran away at 12 years old. She went through much abuse most of her life. By the time her father began to hurt her sisters they sent Child Protective services out to investigate but she was already gone.
She left home at 15 and moved to Washington D.C. where she attended model secondary school for the deaf and received some college credits at University of Maryland. She left 6 months shy of graduating to come home since Hurricane Andrew hit and lived with her grandmother to finish high school in Miami.
She says she’s been nothing but abused by men. She writes to me, “The consequences from porn are not worth it. The money you make doesn’t pay, it only pays to keep you beautiful while you’re in the business but the consequences you serve after doing porn is not worth it. I have lost my family, my career, some friends, and my chance of becoming an ATF officer.”
Adina has many challenges. She is deaf and uses a Cochlear implant. She has many unpaid medical bills and we would like to help her find a safer place to live, offer food and supplies and a good second chance at life! Please watch her video below to hear how she left porn.
Any help you can offer to Adina and any of the girls who come to Pink Cross Foundation is greatly appreciated. We have many women coming to us for help but not enough donations so we hope many of you will see how worthy this cause is and help us continue to make a real difference. We appreciate all of you who have given to Pink Cross Foundation. It’s because of YOU women are leaving porn and getting second chances in life. I thank God for your heart to care about women trapped in porn. Together we will pull them out and help them become Champions in life!
In tears and gratefulness to God and to all of you who care,
Shelley Lubben, President
Pink Cross Foundation

I always thought it a bit strange that the Ex-Porn Star stories page on Lubben’s Pink Cross website no longer has Savannah Jane listed, and on Jane’s own blog, she has not entered a new entry since spring of 2009.
Any proof that Savannah has returned to porn, however? It would be a great coup, PR-wise, for the business if it took back one of Lubben’s converts. Imagine the things she could tell us about what really goes on behind the scenes at Pink Cross.

I don’t know if she’s returned. Just rumors people have been saying that she’s back.

Perhaps the mystery has been solved. She is listed as an escort in Washington DC, where her rate is $260. This is from a “Porn Star Escort Under $500” thread from the XXX Porn Talk boards.
Can’t imagine Lubben not wanting to brag about that…

I don’t really trust those listings because many escort agencies use pictures claiming the women are working there when many of the women have never escorted. It’s so to lure more customers. So I don’t know really if she is escorting or not.

Whores always relapse, and whores always lie. So Im will not be surprised if she is indeed back.

She is mentally ill. She struggled on porn sets.

I never even knew that there was a deaf porn star,for I can easily imagine the directing on the set with this chick(during a sex scene).

So what proof do you have that Adina is back in porn Colt? Have you ever read ‘the Life and Death of a Porn Star’ about the late Rebecca Steele(1962-2004) by Earl Swift!? How do those of you reading this feel about girls participating in animal crush videos… especially those made by ‘Pit Boss’ Stevens of Pittsville, VA?
Adina is super hot

I see some of nasty talk on this thread about her…”she’s a whore, whore’s lie, she’s mentally ill”…
Well, you guys must be thinking about this sick lying whore quite a bit to be following her career path so closely. Why don’t you losers get a life?
