Lupe Fuentes

Lupe Fuentes sometimes also known as Little Lupe, Zuleidy Lapiedra or simply Zuleidy; is a Spanish-Colombian pornographic actress. Lupe was born in Cali, Colombia, and raised in Madrid, Spain by her Colombian mother and Spanish father.

Fuentes performed under the stage name Zuleidy until she moved to the United States and changed her name to Lupe. In June 2009, Lupe signed as a contract star with the adult-video production company Teravision. A year later, in June 2010, she signed an exclusive one-year performing contract with Wicked Pictures, who will further distribute adult videos directed by Fuentes and produced by her company, Lupe Fuentes Productions. Lupe also writes a column for Complex.com and has modeled on the Internet under the name Little Lupe.

In addition to her work in the adult-entertainment industry, Fuentes' occasional presence in more mainstream media has included recent appearances in the magazines FHM, Spain, Primera Linea and Siete, and as a guest on the Howard Stern Show for satellite radio and pay television.

In August 2009, a New York resident returning from a trip to Venezuela was arrested at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and charged with possession of child pornography after customs officials discovered his baggage contained two adult videos featuring the youthful-looking Fuentes. When the case went to trial in April 2010, federal prosecutors presented testimony from an ICE agent and a pediatrician who both relied on the Tanner scale to conclude that Fuentes was under the age of 18 in the video images. The defendant's public defender contacted Fuentes through her MySpace page and asked her to help clear his client's name. Fuentes readily agreed and flew to Puerto Rico, where she testified in federal court and provided corroborating documents to confirm she was 19 years old - legal adult - at the time the videos were filmed. The child-pornography case was subsequently dismissed and all charges against the defendant were dropped.

She married Spanish adult film director Pablo Lapiedra on March 15, 2007, but as of January 2010 she is the girlfriend of Biohazard frontman Evan Seinfeld
