A Christian pastor has opened up about her troubled past as a porn star and revealed that she quit the adult film industry after receiving a clear message from God.



Crissy Outlaw, 41, was once one of the most successful women in the adult film industry, appearing in over 50 adult movies between 2001 and 2006 and earning over $15,000 a month at the top of her six-year career.



She shared with the MailOnline how she entered the porn industry at a young age following a troubled childhood that saw her sexually abused by a neighbor. Her parents were divorced, and she primarily lived with her father, who continually preached to her about sexual purity and maintaining her virginity until she got married.



"I couldn't understand why I was being molested so many times; it was confusing to me," Outlaw said. "Why is it so easy for people to touch my body? I couldn't make sense of it as a child. I thought it must be something about me that's making it happen. I didn't tell my father because I couldn't have a relationship with him, since he's hard to get along with."



Eventually, Outlaw moved in with her mother, and fell pregnant at 17 after losing her virginity. However, after being dumped in her third trimester by the man she planned to marry, she felt forced to have an abortion.
