The jig is up for 'The Infiltrator'

"Infiltrator" Harmon Leon sure picked the wrong week to fudge a few details in his latest SF Weekly article. (The piece has been removed from the Weekly's website; that link is to the Google cache).

After readers familiar with the porn industry noticed discrepancies in his piece on attending the Adult Video News awards "in Los Angeles" -- whoops, the even took place in Las Vegas -- Leon admitted that he had based his piece on a visit several years ago to an entirely different porn industry event.

Taken to task by Violet Blue in Fleshbot and Jackson West in SFist, the SF Weekly fired Leon, as announced in an Editor's Note published in yesterday's edition. Here's Jackson West's SFist followup.
