Gymnastics champ Verona van de Leur worked in porn after jail nightmare

Gymnastics champ Verona van de Leur worked as porn star after being jailed for blackmail and sleeping rough for 2 years WORLD gymnastics champ Verona van de Leur has revealed she has worked as a porn star since 2011. Dutch artistic gymnast Verona, 33, won gold at the 2002 World Cup Final in Stuttgart. She scooped a further eight medals at world events that year, and was named Holland's sportswoman of 2002. But she served a 72-day jail term in 2011 after being found guilty of blackmailing a couple over their extra-marital affair. The redheaded beauty ended up sleeping in a car for two years as her life spiralled out of control. Gouda-born Verona turned to webcam work and adult movies after her release. She told AD: "I will leave the porn industry at the end of this year once a couple of contracts expire. "Then I can look back on eight good years. I enjoyed it, although I saw it as a job. "I wasn't a typical porn actress. I set my own rules for my work, and did everything alone or with my boyfriend. "I had family problems when I was still a gymnast. They got worse when I said I was quitting. "My family changed the locks on the door, and I was literally left on the street. "My boyfriend came from a broken home. We had a bit of money at the start, but a few thousand euros doesn't last long." Source: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/10280727/verona-van-de-leur-gymnastics-porn-star-jail/
