With the help of Noah Fukushima, Winston was able to run an illegal practice for underage models, getting them into more prestigious shoots if they were to do him favours. For Lauren, this included nude photoshoots, sexual favours and eventually the participation in a porn holovideo by the name of Trillhole 2: Spotted Dick. Eventually, Lauren's collaboration in the industry was discovered, ruining her modelling career, while Winston/Noah were apprehended eventually.
