Porn Star Minerva is a thick-set Latina lust bunny whose carnal career was nipped in the bud by an ill-timed brush with the law. Minerva was a buxom, well-rounded cutie whose ardor for her work came through in every passionate pile-up. She got into the business as a paramour of black porner Ron Hightower, who she was seeing off-screen, as well. Originally, her nom-de-porn was Minerva, but she has made a couple of names changes since then.

Hightower's connections got Minerva lots of work in black-themed videos, and she made the most of her amorous opportunities. She first showed up in porn in 1994, steaming her way through heated flicks like 'Home Nurses Anal Adventure' and 'Junkyard Anal.' One of her best outings can be found in Ron Hightower's 'Ebony Erotica 27,' which features Minerva as the cover girl. She and Ron Hightower's went for broke in a fiery scene that brought out the passionate beast within Minerva's soft, demure facade.

Minerva continued to blaze a singular trail through the porn ranks in 1995, showing up in flicks like 'Black Butt Sisters Do Miami' and 'The Nurses Are Cumming,' where she hooked up with some big-haired stud in a feverish office-based tryst. She stopped calling herself Minerva and changed her name to Minerva in the middle of that year, in preparation for an assault on the hardcore big time.

It never happened. Instead of assaulting the big time, she apparently assaulted a female police officer. Minerva ended up in California's Chowchilla State Prison for Women, serving an 8 1/2 year term. Her sentence pretty much put the kibosh on her porn career, to say the least. She gets out of jail in 2003, and she already has plans to get back into the hardcore scene, using her newly minted name of Minerva. Whether the years have dampened her ardor or not remains to be seen, but fans of thick-set Latina lovelies are sure to keep their eyes peeled for her imminent return.
