With a cheeky, happy smile and holding her university ID cards, Elizabeth Hawkenson looks like she's posing for a friend's photograph taken on a phone.

But the truth is far less innocent. In fact the 18-year-old is about to participate in a porn film - and is flashing her identification to prove she is not under age.

Miss Hawkenson is a first year studying geology at Arizona State University, but it is not her interest in rocks and soil that has brought her internet fame.

She now faces having her $33,000 scholarship pulled and being kicked out of uni after her extra-curricular activities came to the attention of her lecturers.

Such a sweet face: Elizabeth Hawkenson, 18, flashes her student ID card at the start of the video to prove she is not under age

 

 

A letter condemning her behaviour was sent to the university board by an alleged former student.

Miss Hawkenson says she performed in the movie to raise funds for her course.

She said:'The whole thing is scripted, I knew going in there it was for sex. I knew what I was doing -- I knew I was getting paid.'

In the film, Miss Hawkenson is seen apparently being seduced by a photographer into stripping and then having sex with him after he promises to make her a porn star earning $5,000 a day.

 

Elizabeth, from Copperas Cove, Texas, picked up $2,000 for the filming, but was assured the video would only appear on a pay-for section of the site.

 

Getting down to business: Hawkenson in a clip from the film, which she says she perfomed in to raise money to help her through her university course

 

 

 

 

She claimed that the publicity over the video has "been treacherous for [her]." and said she only went to the "casting couch" for money to pay her fees.

Miss Hawkenson admitted she had done fully-clothed modeling for Mayflower Models, but claimed agents repeatedly asked her to appear in porn.

"I was like, 'no way, I have morals,' '' she said.

The anonymous letter to the university's Board of Regents said:' I am writing to express my shock and horror at the public conduct of Elizabeth A. Hawkenson.

' This person recently appeared in an internet video in which she identified herself by name, showed her student ID card, then proceeded to engage in explicit and degrading sexual activities with a stranger.

' She was paid for the act and signed a waiver allowing the video to be posted on the internet.

' As an alumnus, I object to Ms. Hawkenson's choice to identify herself as an ASU student in a pornographic video that is available to the general public. I feel that clearly violates the Student Code of Conduct.

'On behalf of my fellow alumni, I demand that Ms. Hawkenson's Scholar Award be revoked immediately. A young woman who brings shame on her university in such a public and degrading way does not deserve the financial support of that university.'

The Board said it had never received the letter, and Elizabeth claimed the scholarship had not been revoked. She is still attending the university and living in a dormitory.

Must have been awkward as hell being the guy who found it but wants to tell the university!

 

This is fucked up. Why does a student with a $30,000 scholarship really need to do porn?

So if nothing happened, then why am I reading about it?

They haven't decided whether they're going to take her scholarship and/or chuck her out yet.

Probably get a slap around the wrist and given a small 'fine'
