Ignacio Allende Fernández (born 1969), better known as Torbe, is a Spanish actor, director, producer and businessman in the online porn industry.
Early life
Ignacio Allende Fernández was born on 25 May 1969, in Portugalete, Spain, in the Basque region. After finishing school at the Munabe school of Opus Dei in Loiu, Biscay, he worked as radio DJ in local radio stations. In the early 1990s, he worked as a cartoonist in the animated film The Legend of the North Wind, credited as "Nacho Allende."[1] He also published his comics in magazines and comics fanzines. In the summertime, he worked as an event organizer in various hotels and nightclubs in the area.
Porn
Torbe started the internet porn page Torbellinesca in 1996, creating the Torbe persona,[2] and in 1999 established the domain name putalocura.com ("whore madness"), which became highly successful.[3] He personally participated as an actor in numerous porn videos, and in approximately twenty porn films as director and actor.
In 2005, Torbe was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category in the AVN competition of the porn industry.[4]
Mainstream cinema
Torbe's success in porn led him to be cast in also mainstream films. He was featured in Spanish director Santiago Segura's Torrente 2: Misión en Marbella (2001)[5] and Torrente 3: El protector (2005).[6] In 2014, Torbe appeared as himself in the Jaime Rosales-directed, 2014 film Beautiful Youth.[7]
Controversial views
In 2016, Torbe, on his Twitter account, characterized the feminist movement as "pathetic." He also wrote in his blog that the movement is "full of butch lesbians, hipsters, chicks who hate men and crazies who get their tits out.”[3]
Legal issues
In 2006, Torbe was accused of shooting a porn video that featured an underage, 17-year-old girl. Two days later he was released without being charged.[2]
In 2012, Torbe was convicted and sentenced to one year in prison for defrauding callers in a television quiz show.[8]
On 27 April 2016, Torbe was arrested and charged with abusing underage girls, selling child pornography, and engaging in sex trafficking.[2] In June of the same year, the investigation expanded into allegations of tax evasion and forcing young women into prostitution.[9] [10]
