Career
Sunderland signed up for a webcam site in October 2014 and made hundreds of dollars per day. She was suggested by a user to perform in a public place to earn more money and used the Oregon State University library facility, where she exposed her breasts and masturbated. An unknown person recorded the video and uploaded it to Pornhub, where it subsequently went viral. Due to the circumstances, she did not expect to use her real name in her pornographic career.{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/kendra-sunderland-girl-who-filmed-webcam-sex-show-university-library-charged-public-indecency-10072140.html |title=Kendra Sunderland: Girl who filmed webcam sex show at university library charged with public indecency |work=The Independent |date=February 26, 2015 |last=Richards |first=Victoria |url-access=subscription |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210504203152/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/kendra-sunderland-girl-who-filmed-webcam-sex-show-university-library-charged-public-indecency-10072140.html |archive-date=May 4, 2021 |quote=I knew that eventually everyone would see everything about me and see me naked.
