She performed under the stage name of Jenna Presley and starred in more than 275 raunchy films before turning her back on the industry, and finding Jesus.
Under the Presley name, real name Brittni De La Mora, she became one of the industry’s top names and one of the top 20 female porn stars.
However, a period of drug addiction and contracting an STI saw Brittni question her career choice, before she eventually turned her back on the industry in 2012.

In 2005 Brittni was an 18-year-old college student working as a topless dancer in Mexico when a producer asked if she’d like to do “romance” movies.
Just one year later she came in second on porn icon Jenna Jameson’s Playboy TV reality show Jenna’s American Sex Star, and in 2010, Maxim magazine dubbed her one of the world’s top 12 female porn stars.

Her time in the adult film industry saw her using crystal meth, heroin, and cocaine (to try to lose weight), as well as ecstasy and oxycontin.
She also witnessed her boyfriend being fatally-stabbed by a motorcycle gang, and entered an abusive relationship with a pimp before she realised she had reached rock bottom.
She said: ‘I was struggling to pay my rent because I had a really bad drug addiction. I would spend thousands and thousands of dollars a week on drugs,’ she said.
‘I started off with cocaine but then eventually I was battling a heroin addiction.’
After three years in the industry, Presley’s grandparents took her to the Rock Church in San Diego, where “she raised her hand to receive Jesus as her personal Lord and Saviour” after hearing a sermon by preacher Miles McPherson.

Posting on social media, Brittni revealed: “It was God’s love that won my heart and his kindness led me to repentance.”
“Never did God make me leave everything behind all at once, that would have overwhelmed.”

Her Instagram page, which has nearly 54k followers, echoes similar anti-porn sentiments, with a number of videos featuring her discussing porn addiction and steering people away from lust.
Brittni now leads a young adult ministry and shares her testimony around the world.
She added that she had completely given up her old way of life.
She said: “The more time I spent with him, the more my desires changed.
“I no longer wanted to smoke, do drugs, curse, or dress provocatively, these things were no longer a part of me.”
