Getting stiffed by a porn star took on a whole new meaning Monday when Huntington Beach's Janine Lindemulder was arraigned in federal court for allegedly failing to pay about $80,000 in income taxes, The Smoking Gun reports today.
The racktacular 39-year-old entered a not guilty plea and was released without bail. A Sept. 16 trial was set. Smoking Gun's item includes a copy of the original charging document that was filed June 18 in U.S. District Court in Eugene, Oregon. Lindemulder, who moved from Oregon to Surf City, is accused of not paying her taxes due on $350,101 of 2004 income.
Lindenmulder, who was charged under the name Janine Marie James, was previously married to tattooed lug nut Jesse James. (Scenes from their rocky marriage appeared in this Weekly article by Theo Douglas).
Besides appearing in dozens of adult films with titles such as Dyke Dinner, Sleeping Booty and Janine's Got Male, the La Mirada native graced a gazillion-selling Blink-182 CD cover in a nurse get-up, had a bit part in Howard Stern's Private Parts and, ahem, grabbed much more screen time in an infamous homemade sex tape with Motley Crue singer Vince Neil.
