A second actor accused one of porn's best-known stars of sexual assault Sunday night.

Tori Lux, who describes herself as a former adult performer, said the actor James Deen "ruthlessly attacked and degraded me" on the set of a film in 2011.

The accusation follows a claim by Stoya, an actor who used to date Deen, who said on Saturday she was sick of seeing people "idolizing the guy who raped [her] as a feminist."

Deen heatedly denied Stoya's charges, calling them "false and defamatory," and wrote: "I respect women and I know and respect limits both professionally and privately."

One of porn's few mainstream stars, especially among male actors, Deen has been profiled in outlets ranging from GQ to BuzzFeed. He co-starred with Lindsay Lohan in the 2013 movie The Canyons.

His spokesperson didn't immediately respond to an inquiry about Lux's claim that he hit her in the face and sexually assaulted her.
