An Entercom radio station is defending itself against an Olathe, KS woman in federal court this week.
According to KHSB-TV41, Ashley Patton accused two morning personalities, Afentra and Danny Boi, of wrongfully calling her a porn star on Alternative KRBZ 96.5 FM's morning show "Afentra's Big Fat Morning Buzz."
On April 20, 2012, Patton said Afentra (Afentra Bandokoudis) and Danny Boi (Daniel Terreros) asked listeners to send text messages into the radio station's text line with names of people said to be local porn stars.
The lawsuit alleged two people texted the name "Ashley Patton."

Patton's attorney said when the search didn't pull up Ashley Patton's name Google suggested "Ashley Payton."
Benson said Danny Boi clicked on Payton and that search returned pornographic images or videos of the person "Ashley Payton".
But Danny Boi, the suit read, went ahead and said her name on the air, "Ashley Patton, Olathe South.
Afentra and Entercom said in court on Wednesday they made a mistake and didn't knowingly mean to. But Patton said the show hosts didn't do due-diligence before naming her as a "porn star" on the air.
Patton wants the station to pay for emotional damages. She's expected to take the stand on Thursday and name how much she wants from the radio station.
So I ask the question should 41 KSHB News be sued for misidentifying the author of the text?
