We’ve reported on her before but she’s no longer hiding her identity.

Her name is Miriam Weeks and here’s what she looks like.

William McGurn writes at the New York Post.

Since the first headlines about the Duke University freshman making her way through college by making porn, we have learned many details about her life.

We’ve learned, for example, that being paid to have sex on camera is “freeing, it is empowering, it is wonderful, it is how the world should be.” We’ve learned she aspires to be a lawyer for women’s rights. And we’ve learned that she regards waitressing as more degrading than, say, being choked and slapped around in a skinflick.

Yet perhaps the most indecent detail in this tale is a tidbit about her university that has received almost no attention. It appears near the end of a profile that ran in The Chronicle — Duke’s student paper — which refers to her as “Lauren.” Here’s what it says:

“Lauren reached out to Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta. Moneta affirmed that the University’s policy was to be supportive of all student identities.”

Note: He didn’t say “supportive of all students.” He said “supportive of all student identities.”

When this reporter e-mailed Moneta to ask if his words mean Duke really makes no judgment on a student who has become a porn actress, Moneta replied that federal law and Duke policy preclude him from talking about a student’s case. But he didn’t take issue with the Chronicle characterization.

Neither does the young woman. Her name is Miriam Weeks, and in a recent CNN interview with Piers Morgan, she affirmed that Duke had been “very supportive” of her.
