With More Holes Than A Cobra Video
According to an inside source, this morning Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes pleaded "not guilty" to all charges against them. Though Barry Taylor has been removed from counsel due to conflict of interest, the dynamic duo that ran BoyBatter.com, now accused of the murder of Cobra Video owner Bryan Kocis, will fight extradition. The federal government has supposedly seized all of their assetts. I'm told one of the most interesting pieces of information the affidavit provides is that police believe many of Cobra Video's masters and model releases were destroyed prior to the fire. Allegedly, the area where Kocis kept all of Cobra's material was severely thrashed!
There's more than a few things here that don't add up, leaving more holes in this story than any of Cobra's movies.
Brent Corrigan and Grant Roy have now been named as "informers," having assisted the police in gathering the evidence necessary against Cuadra and Kerekes during a secretly recorded conversation at, of all places, a nude beach. This leaves for a lot of loose ends and unanswered questions.
First of all, you don't kill someone because they have one of a hundred "rival gay porn companies" and want to work with one of the stars under contract. That motive is totally ludicrous to anyone who works in the adult entertainment business. So ludicrous, in fact, it was spoofed in a movie that Corrigan starred in, The Velvet Mafia. It's almost as though the supposed motive and plot of this murder is lifted directly from the movie's script.
Furthermore, if the leaked quotes from the recorded beach tapes are true, what is with Harlow saying he felt like he got "revenge"? Revenge for what? How did he know Bryan?
It is also now revealed by the media that Corrigan and Roy claim during the initial Vegas meetings between the four, murder was hinted at by Cuadra and Kerekes to get Kocis out of the way. Though the quote given, where they ask what if Bryan were to leave the country, seems a far cry from murder.
At the very least, because of those Vegas meetings, Corrigan and Roy definitely knew who Cuadra was when the "person of interest" bulletin featuring a photo of Cuadra was released to the press. So why was I the first person to call the police with Cuadra's escort profile and contact info nearly 24 hours later? Why didn't they call?
And most importantly, the biggest burning question of all is why Cuadra and Kerekes would discuss the murder so incredibly openly with Corrigan and Roy -- unless they trusted them because they too were involved.

"And most importantly, the biggest burning question of all is why Cuadra and Kerekes would discuss the murder so incredibly openly with Corrigan and Roy -- unless they trusted them because they too were involved. "
Or that they were very very stupid. Which we can safely say was the case.
As I pointed out on Elm's blog, todays news revelation has Harlow explaining and APOLOGIZING for the murder, into Brent's hidden police microphone:
"... I should have thought where all those fingers would have pointed. I remember looking at the press. I’m just glad this (expletive) is over,” Cuadra allegedly said while under surveillance on a San Diego, Calif., nude beach on April 28. "
If Brent and Grant urged the killing, why is Harlow explaining and apologizing for committing the murder to them?
Jim - Seems to me he's explaining the murder. Not apologizing. There's no apology in that quote or anywhere else mentioned in the article that quote came from here: http://citizensvoice.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18351857&BRD=2259&PAG=461&dept_id=455154&rfi=6 xo L, J.
This case is fascinating on soooooo many levels. Kudos to you, Jason, for keeping such good tabs on it all.
You have Harlow posting photos on his blog of him and Brent Corrigan and then thousands of dollars of brand new computer equipment ... there's a record of him adding himself and a link to his website to Brent Corrigan's wikipedia page. ... you even have him putting a clip on his site of a model named "Drake"...
You'd think, "OK ... for someone to be so brazen about all this, he must have an AIRTIGHT alibi." but it turns out he used his own credit card and ID to rent a car, get a hotel room and buy a knife and gun around the time of the murder.
Meanwhile, you've got Brent's boyfriend Grant posting vicious anti-cobra rants on message boards under the name "Cobra Killer".
It reminds me of the Larry Clark movie "Bully" -- a true story about these teenagers in Hollywood, FL, who murder their friend because he was a Bully but are such bumbling fools it takes police 48 hours to figure out who's done it.
Should be interesting to see how it all pans out ... to say the least ...
Well, OK, if you don't think an apology is quite there (just an explanation), fine; then my question gets rephrased to:
"If Brent and Grant urged the killing, why is Harlow explaining committing the murder to them?"
Jim - Why would they explain it to someone who WASN'T involved??! lol xo L, J.
Because someone who was involved would need no such remorseful explanation.
It does not make any sense for Harlow to express hindsight remorse to Brent "... I should have thought where all those fingers would have pointed...." if Brent had been involved in the first place.
The phraseology in that case would have been "...WE should have thought where all those fingers would have pointed...."
You see what I'm saying?
Jim - I am following this case closely. ...Or no, wait -- WE are following this case closely. Hmm, either way! ;-) I'm sorry, it just doesn't make any sense to me why they would refuse to admit involvement in the murder to anyone except Brent and Grant. That's a huge hole and obviously reason for suspicion, that's all I'm saying. xo L, J.
"Furthermore, if the leaked quotes from the recorded beach tapes are true, what is with Harlow saying he felt like he got "revenge"? Revenge for what? How did he know Bryan?"
Actually I posted some thoughts on that earlier today over at Elm's; people who are pining for more motive will find this comforting, I think:
"BTW, on the subject of motive, there was one comment Harlow made into Brent's recording device, which I mentioned yesterday, but did not really explore:
"When talk of the Kocis’ murder arose, Cuadra allegedly said, ... "It almost seems like I got revenge and I know that sounds (expletive) up.""
Facinating. You know, one of the prime murder theories floated about these past four months has been the Obsessed Fan Theory. I.e, that an obsessed Brent fan took it on himself to be an avenging angel for Brent, based on the bitter public dispute.
Could Harlow's statement above indicate he WAS such an obsessed fan? Food for thought... "
Note that this new, additional motive theory also explains very nicely your question, Jason, of why Harlow would indeed confide the murder secret to Brent.
For the case against Harlow and Joe to make sense you have to think like a PROSECUTOR, not like someone who is trying to find out who killed Kocis. It is not a Prosecutor's job to solve murders. A prosecutors job is to prosecute the person who can most likely be convicted and to win a conviction.
Luzerne County Prosecuting Brent Corrigan would bring a hell of a lot of unwanted national attention to the District Attorney's Office of Luzerne County when two people in the DA's office are running in elections coming up in November.
It is very important to note that Judge Michael Conahan (judge in Kocis 2002 child molestation case) announed that he would retire at the end of the year on Sunday and Harlow was arrested two days later.
Primary elections where held in Luzerne County on Tuesday in Luzerne County. And, TWO PEOPLE already IN the Distict Attorney's Office in Luzerne County are running for public office. The Current DA of Luzerne County is running for Judge and the Current First Assistant DA is running for the new DA.
REmember, the DA's Office is on record as saying that Bryan Kocis had "a valid mistake of age defense" in 2002 when the State of Pennsylvania does not even allow "mistake of age defenses" in child molestation cases.
It is a third degree felony in PA for anyone to have helped Kocis evade the state's Megan's Law registration requirements. Kocis' attorney, Al Flora, and the District Attorney's office went before Judge Michael Conahan in 2006 to get Kocis' 2002 guilty plea "corrected".
The investigation of Harlow et al was apparently not done by Luzerne County. HOwever, the decision on who to prosecute and for what was probably decided by the Current DA of Luzerne County - a guy who is running for Judge and who presided over the change in Kocis 2002 guilty plea in 2006.
Jason Sechrest said "it just doesn't make any sense to me why they would refuse to admit involvement in the murder to anyone except Brent and Grant."
Jason - did you forget it was me who was the most recent interviewer of Harlow Cuadra this past Monday? You haven't asked me exactly what he said in my RECORDED interview...so I would NOT be too sure about the "admitting involvement to anyone except Brent and Grant" part. Not sure at all, as a matter of fact.
Jim - He made it pretty clear in his blog entries that he didn't really care much for Brent upon his first contact with him via email -- and that in Vegas, he actually turned him down when Brent asked him to come fuck him. Now, obviously he could be lying, but he doesn't sound obsessed with Brent Corrigan. He didn't create an entire web site devoted to promoting Brent Corrigan, he didn't link to Brent Corrigan when he mentioned him. Technically, if Harlow's behavior is "obsessive" regarding Brent Corrigan, then our's is downright stalker-ish, isn't it? xo L, J.
the decision to prosecute Harlow & Joe and not other people as well will probbably NOT prevent Harlow's lawyer from bringing up Bryan Kocis' history with the Luzerne County Court and the Luzerne County DA's Office.
Personally, a trial for Harlow seems unlikely. I just assumed that no one would be prosecuted for Kocis' murder.
One way or another, I don't see a trial and national tv networks examining how Kocis avoided jail and managed to operate a gay porn studio in his basement
And Jim, I should also say, every one of your theories may very well be right. But there's too many holes as it stands right now to say, "Oh well it all makes sense now!" Maybe as some of the gaps are filled in, your statements will ring 100% true. xo L, J.
Nothing Harlow wrote in his blog can be trusted. Not a word of it. Not only was it written by a known psychopath, but the timing was after the murder and the fingering of him as a suspect.
Since it was conceived as a tool of deception, it's best to simply discount it entirely.
How's your mother doing, Damon?
would you expect that a guy with two criminal lawyers would incrminate himself on a blog?
TWo of the four or so blog entries on Harlow's blog are known to be FAKE/JOKE entries that were not written by Harlow.
The first blog entry on Harlow's blog appears to me to have been written by Harlow's lawyer.
The last blog entry on Harlow's Blog appears to have been written by at least two different people (not sure if either one was Harlow).
I agree with ALL of that. Now we're spiraling. Bring it back. The original question Jim brought up is: Was the motive for Harlow an unhealthy obsession with Brent Corrigan? And my point is, if an unhealthy obsession with Brent Corrigan is the motive, I know a few people who are guilty. xo L, J.
AND that we have no evidence of there being an unhealthy obsession so now we're just pulling things out of our ass basically.
...Which is no different than what the majority has done in the comments section of these threads from day one which is why I stopped posting!
So now I'll stop again.
Here's the real Kruezer and what he had to say!

Hint #2: Who talked with Harlow at length the very day BEFORE his arrest?
My investigation is now complete.
Are you and Sean getting the picture now? No more sarcastic put-downs Grant, I've been your and Sean's friend and ally all along...you guys just never knew or figured it out.

Two Charged with Luzerne County Murder
Tuesday, May 15, UPDATED: 5:04 p.m.
By Jon Meyer
Two men are under arrest in Virginia, charged with killing a man in Luzerne County...
It seems there is very little question that Brent and Grant where involved in the original planning of the murder during the Vegas meeting. It is a typical police tactic to tell a suspect that if you help in convicting the trigger man we will go easy on you and this would all have been arranged through a really crappy defense lawyer. It is just a matter of time before the police arrest the other two.
Important Point
There is actually no specific information that I know of that has any real person Identitying Harlow or Joe in Luzerne County. THIS is probably why the police needed some kind of "confesssion" from Harlow.
You would think that with three States and the FBI bugging two porn bunnies on a nude beach that at least ONE State would have made sure that what they were doing was legal and would be admissiable in court. HOwever, my prediction ...
The taping on the beach was probably illegal under Pennsylania law and not admissible in court in Pennsylvania. ALSO,
The evidence so far suggests to me that someone other than Harlow or Joe actually Killed Kocis (but Harlow definitely and Joe maybe were in Kocis' house at the time).
QUESTION: How did Harlow, Joe and whomever know their way around Kocis' house? How did the killers know where Cobra's masters and legal paperwork was located?
THANK YOU! Yes, that's what I'm saying. There's a LOT of questions still. I'm not pointing a finger and saying anyone is innocent or guilty. Just saying, this is not cut and dry by any means and everyone still seems very much suspect. xo L, J.
Prediction
There is NOT going to be any trial in Luzerne County.
Harlow and Joe will plead guilty to whatever they need to plead guilty to to avoid there being a trial in Luzerne County and to avoid having all of this shit coming out about Kocis not being a registered sex offender.
The Kocis family definitely does not want a national tv network asking them questions about Bryan Kocis and a 15 year old boy.
It is so funny the line the PA Cop said about catching Harlow and that THE FAMILY now has closure. THIS sounded almost word for word like what the DA said about the 15 year old boy's family in 2002.
NOTE:
The charge of "Abuse of a corpse"
This suggest that the police know that neither Joe nor Harlow actually killed Kocis but that one or both of them may have been in Kocis' house at the time of the murder.
QUESTION: How did Harlow, Joe and whomever know their way around Kocis' house? How did the killers know where Cobra's masters and legal paperwork was located?
That is an EXCELLENT question. Here are a few possible answers:
1 - They didn't, so they trashed the house until they found what they were looking for.
2 - They were told by someone who knew their way around Bryan's house where to find the masters and model releases.
I think scenario #2 is more plausible that 1.
it doesn't really matter,
THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY TRIAL
Harlow & Joe were suppose to die in the First Police Raid.
If Harlow & Joe can stay alive and keep their lawyers, they will plead guilty to something or other and be appearing live on JCTV by the end of the year.
Interesting fact
The VA press is saying that the Governor of PA has to serve arrest warrants for Harlow & JOe on the Governor of VA.
The Chairman of the PA State Judicial Conduct Board is supposed to be a close political cronie of The Governor of Pennsylvania AND Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan
The Governor of Pennsylvania might not get to serving arrest warrants for Harlow & Joe on the Governor of Virginia for quite some time.
Jason,
I posted this also on Elm's blog:
I haven't told my own Brent Corrigan and Grant Roy story. I may never reveal what they did to me but after my experience with them I learned that Brent and Grant could not be trusted. They are serious liars. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but they used me and never gave me what was promised. I'm just in awe of how our society lets those deemed beautiful get away with anything. Can we say Paris Hilton? I really wish Brent the best as I would any other person but he has got to start owing up to his flaws and faults. He is not above the law nor beyond reproach. I may tell my story and share my experiences dealing with them on my blog Chronicles of Pornia.
Anon various AKA Peter Everhard
You just keep on beating on about Luzerne County. The arrests of Harlow & Joe seem to mean nothing to you.
It was tedious then and even more tedious now that matters have moved on and new issues merit discussion.
What did Sean & Grant know and when did they know it?
That would answer a lot of other questions.
Hehe, I asked the same question over at Elm's, Cad! Except I think I left Grant out...so your phrasing is probably better.
The recorded conversations in the affidavit I think will answer much. When it's made public, it should give us all a lot of cud to chew on here, for a while.
could we expect that the affidavit will be public soon or just after the trial or not at all?
I'm not sure...Harlow's lawyer has a copy, that we know, because he sez he's busy pouring over it.
And I know Julien is trying to lay hands on a copy.
I'm very interested to read about those recorded conversations, especially the context in which Grant allegedly asked Harlow if Bryan suffered.
What did Sean & Grant know and when did they know it?
I know they'll answer that in greater detail as soon as they can. Suffice it to say, they started cooperating with the authorities from the outset.
Was the motive for Harlow an unhealthy obsession with Brent Corrigan? And my point is, if an unhealthy obsession with Brent Corrigan is the motive, I know a few people who are guilty.
While the prosecution will give one simple motive, there probably isn't one simple reason for why the two acted as they did. It's usually much more about a frame of mind, or how someone saw the situation and what they thought they could get out of it. As to how closely that corresponds to reality is another matter altogether.
I Do think there will be a trial on this matter and maybe federal charges for and state of V.A. charges as well. Right now the media is reporting that the Police in V.A. are looking into other crames that these 2 may or may not have committed.. as far as an arrest warrent from the governor of PA i think that he has done and signed it and that is why the 2 are being held other wise they would be bailed out of jail already. I also think that we will also see more lesser charges agianst Brent and Grant Roy on some type of charge but we do not know what yet. I guess it is an wait and see thing as far a major media net work covering it i think some network will lets face it sex sells it does not matter if it is gay sex of straight sex.
where are all the toxic twink and cobrakiller cohorts now?
it will be interesting to get confirmation of sean's age in a court of law. yeah i still have problems with the age issue. my consistent theory does not seem so ridiculous now.
the truth always outs in the end.
Erik - Not calling you a liar. We probably spoke with different officers around the same time. xo L, J.

This may be off-topic a bit, but is anyone else having trouble watching the videos that Julien has linked? I get to the site but get a "Video is launching" message without anything else happening.
Anyone else having this problem?
I must say, this interview brings back or old friend DK....in a BIG way!
http://www.wvec.com/video/topvideo-index.html?nvid=144820
I have followed this story from the day I got my first copy of BC's first movie from Cobra. I have not missed a written word for about 2 years. This is fasinating in many ways. First, it convinced me to withdraw all future investment in this industry amoung many other things.....It has changed the way I think about many thing and bringgs into question any further involvment in this industry!

it is very difficult to gain credibility for a person in the biz to those on the outside because of people like sean and his cobrakiller.
it also does not help with the cause to further gay rights.
it is sad because there are a handful of good people in the industry.
Jason - if you have time, could you answer a couple of Cobra-centric questions (seeing as you probably know more about Cobra business - and the porn business in general - than I do).
#1 - With the masters and the releases destroyed, does this mean what ever little hope of Cobra surviving (as little as though it might have been) is gone?
#2 - What happened to the last Cobra release - Take It like A bitch? It never made it to retail outlets and then seems to have disappeared altogether.
#3 - Have you heard what is going on with the models? Most of these guys you didn't see anywhere else and there are two - Shaun and Corey (who did a couple of scenes together) that I thought were the hottest ever, especially Shaun (a hunky little bottom).
And frankly, no matter what is decided in a court of law, I will never personally believe that Sean and Grant were totally innocent in this situation. Common sense and the way things developed practically screams of their invovlement.
Thanks in advance for any answers you can give.

It's not only about someone's honesty, it's about persisting social stigma of the porn industry itself.
"it also does not help with the cause to further gay rights."
It's preposterous. No matter your sexual orientation is you should not be treated differently. Do you infer there should be some higher standards of good behavior for gay people in order to be accepted by the majority society?
Next time you will accuse Sean of causing global warming :)

ya know... he is full of so much hot air :)
This questions goes out to jason or whomever.Jason reports Sean has been named an informant in assisting police in the case against Harlow and the nude beach meeting.I would love to know where he got that info or anyone else for that matter.I have watched the virginia news.Checked out the citizens voice,times leader,avn,the pilot etc.None name sean as the informant.According to one source it turned out investigators intensely focused on both men shortly after the murder and gathered lots of evidence along the way leading up to the surveillance on the nude beach.One claims a informant said days and weeks after kocis murder noticed harlow become reclusive and not speaking to anyone.also one source claims at the meeting a hint of murder was brought up but pulled back from further discussion,though a confidential informant told police a verbal agreement was made for sean to work with harlow once bryan was gone.Lastly i believe it was the citizens voice state police cpl leo hannon jr. the lead criminal investigator on the case said he couldn't disclose on how the conversations were recorded.Please anyone i love to know where this source Jason reports that Sean was an informant on helping the police.I can't find it so please help me out thanks.
In reading all these stories I kept thinking the motive was so weak that eventually a 'conspiracy to commit murder' charge would be in the future for anyone else involved with Harlow and his lover but after seeing the news story where DK of all people says Harlow called him I now realize these two guys are just plain stupid.
First they thought they would make millions off Brent Corrigan if he filmed a movie with them.
Next they used their own photo to get a meeting with Kocis.
Then they used their own credit cards to rent a car, buy a knife (the murder weapon) and they used the credit card for a hotel room near Kocis house. They probably bought a lighter too.
And then the biggest blunder of all; they picked up the phone and called DK to give an interview about the case where they were the prime suspects already identified as such in the media. How very 'Scott Peterson' of them.
There is no conspiracy. These two guys are stupid criminals and they will both be found guilty of murder.
You summed it up at the end of your post. Why would Brent/Grant agree to set up Harlow/Joe if they didn't know details about their involvement? That speaks volumes to me.
Nick, I think those from Sean's camp (I refer to them as The Others) will argue that after learning of Bryan's death, Sean and Grant remembered their dinner conversation with Harlow and Joe, where the latter two brought up taking Bryan out of the picture (or however they phrased it). It dawned on them that Harlow actually went through with it (without any knowledge on Sean and Grant's part) so the two former Cobra haters did what any good person would do and went to the police with this information - less than 2 weeks before Bryan's murder, Sean and Grant had dinner with two men who brought up murdering Bryan. The police took the information, as they should have, and after some investigating, realized they were on the right path.
Next thing we know, Sean and Grant are recruited by the police in a sting operation, and because of his ego and boastful nature, Harlow had no difficulty telling Sean and Grant about how Harlow and Joe killed Bryan.
That's what the Others would argue - Sean and Grant had no involvement whatsoever, other than helping the police out of the goodness of their hearts.
How generous of them to help solve the murder of a man they themselves wanted dead for so very long.
Sean must have a guardian devil looking out for him or something.
Grant wanted Bryan dead and low and behold some guy comes along like a knight in shinning armor and kills Bryan for him and he didn't even have to suggest it.
Amazing coincidence huh?
Jason, please (I beg of you) stand aside and let the police handle this. I know you crave attention but for Christ's sake just let this take its own course. We all know how you like to get in the middle of this stuff, but for the sake of justice just let it go this time..please.
5:22 - I wish I could answer those questions for you, but I don't have idea one on where Cobra will go from here, how many masters there were, etc. Bryan and I were not close. The only time we spoke was when he would take the time to threaten me for my support of Brent Corrigan's age issues. xo L, J.
7:36 - The police have expressed a lot of gratitude for my questioning things and covering the story. I have met with them personally. They're doing their job. I'm doing mine. This is about justice. A lot of times, when we don't stand up and voice our questions, things get sweeped under the rug. See: 9/11 I'm just doing my job. They're doing theirs. Thankfully we've been able to work together to try to see that justice is served. xo L, J.
Once the mainstream media started using Damon Kruezer as a source I no longer blingdly believe everything we are being told.
C'mon guys, cut Jason a break; he is doing a great job. Many of us bloggers are cooperating to ensure the truth gets told because things like this have a habit of making the gay community look like freaks. Good job Jason. Stay tuned to my blog as well, more news to come and I promise--no spin.
Jason, would you please lace this thread with some tits, ass and pussy pics of some of your girls so that the straight cops that are using this site to put there case together wont feel completely uncomfortable with our gay little online CSI episode here. Maybe Jenna will volunteer to do a fuck seen on line for the boys in BLUE!
And in trade, perhaps the COPS will share with us were the recording device was hidden at Blacks Beach. I'm thinking it was in those ugly glasses Sean was wearing...Am I correct?
anon 7:36 PM
why do you want to stop people talking about this? you obviously read the blogs too. you are connected in some way to say the things you say.
jason has done a great job even though do not agree with all his comments.
if you do not like it, do not read it. you have no right or business to deny that to those of us who are interested.
I read on the Kruezer Blog that Harrlow will turn states evidances to avoide the Death Penality! Jason do you know what this is about or any one else for this matter... I hope that Brians Family gets justice and the death penality is on the table and will be sought for all that had any thing to do with this crime... my question is that who will harlow turn states evidance agianst may we say BC AKA Sean Lockheart or Grant roy... Now to the next thing Harrlows has in his myspace blog requesting donations this is funny because he is worth millions and his accounts have been frozen well he wont need the accounts after the trial any ways his lawyers would get all his money... He has more money than all of us that blog here i think and several nice cars and lets not forget the 500 a plate for lamb for him brent and grant...
he is worth millions
Of what? Pesos?
Sheesh.
damon, is that you? (ree-ree-ree-ree)
Another VERY interesting Harlow quote, from the nude beach:
"Eventually, according to the affidavit, police managed to record conversations, including one at a nude beach in San Diego in which Cuadra admitted he was present when Kocis was killed. " Actually it's sick, but it made me feel better inside," Cuadra said about seeing the killing, according to the affidavit."
This is from http://content.hamptonroads.com/story.cfm?story=124868&ran=2853
It made Harlow, personally feel better inside. Hmmm. Very odd, for someone with NO prior dealings with Bryan at all, a total stranger. Unless...
It's as if he's doing this because he thinks it pleases Brent..and hence he gets off on it himself.
The Obsessed Fan theory for Harlow's motive is looking stronger and stronger each day.
Right now, I'd say Harlow's motive is a mixture of the money/porn turf war put forward by the police...PLUS this Hinckly-ish fan obsession for Jody Fost...ooops, I mean Brent, that keeps cropping up in these recordings.
VERY interesting!
Jim - You mention that it's weird for Harlow to have felt good about the killing if he hadn't known Kocis. You also say everything he has stated should be discounted and is probably a lie, which means, according to your own rule book, it's very possible that he did know Kocis! So I'm puzzled as to why you would instead jump to the conclusion that he was obsessed with Brent which we have no evidence of whatsoever rather than assume he had his own axe to grind with the man. Doesn't that make more sense? It's these sort of myopic "thin air" conclusions you draw that so conveniently help their defense that makes people think you're one of them. Just lettin' ya know. xo L, J.
And Jim - Part Two - In other words, you don't choose to see the more obvious conclusion or even follow your own words -- but instead, seem more interested in providing an air tight innocence for Brent and Grant. Which is totally fine if that's your bag! But own it for God's sake. And in owning it, you gotta accept that when motive of "obsession" comes from your keyboard, it sounds more like projection on your part. Which would make sense actually if you were Grant. You should be obsessed with your partner and wanting to protect and defend him, after all. Not saying you ARE Grant either. Just saying... would certainly make a little more sense. xo L, J.
Huh? I stated his WRITTEN BLOG can't be believed. I was VERY specific!
This is TOTALLY different! He is SPEAKING unawares into a microphone!
Why are you misquoting me like this? Is it intentional?
What jumping to conclusions? I just laid out a QUOTE! I cited hard evidence that points out Harlow seems like an an obsessed fan!
Boggle!
And thirdly...how does this theory show Brent is innocent???
And as far as what people think of me, being "one of them" or whatever..FUCK 'EM!
I don't give a rats ass what people think of me. Back when everyone was saying "ooooh Harlow was fraaamed!!!" and you were aiding their PR campaign, who was the LONE voice who called it right, all along?
ME.
I called it. Practically alone, I called it. Harlow turned out to indeed be the murder.
I'd rather be right than popular. After all, when you are posting under an anon name, being popular isn't really that special, now is it?
jim 2:36 AM
lol. i will feel the same when the cobrakiller found his hitman theory is proved to be correct.
glad you remained anon now? bb does have a few brain cells in perfect working order, do not discount them, not yet :)
oh and jim, when that comes true, i will join you on that mountain top for that drink... what was it called again?
Have any of you actually looked at the guys who were doing work for boybatter.com? Harlow had a lover and access to a whole lot of beautiful guys - this does not sound like someone who would be obsessed with Brent Corrigan.
[b]however[/b], I will say that Harlow and Joe appeared to be very very interested in getting a national distributor for their dvds/video. It is possible that Harlow thought that having a recognized name might help them get a national distributor quicker.
Harlow did post something about announcing a national distributor shortly for boybatter.com product.
Yes, bb, you were right about the anon thing. Thanks!
Only by staying anon can I maintain my objectivity. I see that clearly now.
It was a Mai Tai. A cool and tasty one!
" bb said...

strange alliances here ;-)
jim even honored my obsessed fan theory...
well..one reason we had that discussions with grant was to fight against that climate of hate he created. this climate could encourage people to harm bryan in any way and/or as it might be the case here to vindicate a crime against bryan.
there might be no legal responsibility of grant. but it is hardly to believe that his constant rants would not attract shady guys willing to be the hitmen at a certain moment.
it is to early to make speculations on the few facts we have now. so i won´t. and i have no pity for people who killed a man in that brutal manner.
ab,
YES! I agree with you. With one major caveat: The hate you speak of flowed both ways.
Hired goons. TILABB. Farm state Brent look-alikes flown in to cause vexation. "I am the King! I make the rules!" Etc. I could go on for a while here.
I'll meet you halfway, Ab. A climate of hate, created by both, 50-50 split. My final offer, not a percentage more! And looking at my list, I'd say I'm being EXCEEDINGLY generous.
The ATKOL forums seem to be dead....LETS all celibrate that ashole on the east coast is no longer of any interest within the porn players world!
Congrats Jason, you seem to have picked up the mantle.
I hope you are able to turn it into some cash....
You should start a board!
jim,
we can meet halfway :-)
maybe i left the story to early for a while. bryan stayed silent at that time and fought his legal battle. what i wanted to say is that these initial experiences determined my point of view.
Yay Ab and I agree!
Mai Tais on me.
When do I get my Mai Tai?
prost jim :-)
Anyone can sign onto the "ab-jim MOU" and enjoy a Mai Tai, yes.
Will signing the MOU put me in danger from blowhard nutjobs trying to sign you to a porn deal, Jim?
"Julien said...
C'mon guys, cut Jason a break; he is doing a great job."
Oh puhleez, Mary! He's just trying to leech some extra publicity off this story onto himself. Are you new to this site or something? If the story is not 100% Jason, then he'll be sure to do his damndest to make it all about him.
Not to worry, I don't think I have any deranged fans, J-bee.
In fact, I don't think have any fans...
: )
Anyone who thinks that the arrest and evidence against Harlow and Joe exonerates Sean Lockhart and Grant Roy is even dumber than Harlow and Joe!
Prosecutors can still easily charge Lockhart and Roy as accomplices to murder if they had prior knowledge or involvement; if Harlow and Joe take the fall I'm sure they'd hate knowing Sean and Roy got away with it and spill the beans to everyone about Brent Corrigan's involvement.
It may still come out that Roy and Lockhart were in on the murder; possibly providing more motive for Joe and Harlow to kill Kocis with payments or future porn rights in exchange for the killing.
To prosecute Lockhart and Roy would require totally different prosecutors in totally different states under totally different jurisdictions, courts and charges.
Proving the guilt of the executioners would HAVE TO come first; conspirators and accomplices later.
Especially if the prosecutors are still in the dark about Lockhart's and Roy's prior involvement; if the beach surveillance was unknown to Lockhart and Roy or only incomplete cooperation with authorities.
Let us not forget Lockhart's and Roy's desperation, their bitter feud with Kocis, their "cobrakiller" blog, the mysterious friend of Jason's who alleges Roy and Lockhart discussed hiring a hitman and that Lockhart's words to indiscreet Jody Wheeler were "Harlow and Joe really fucked it all up."
Not "fucked up" — "fucked IT ALL up."
Fucked what up? "IT" sounds like a master plan involving Lochart's and Roy's cooperation. Which is a crime that could still result in jail rape and maybe even capital punishment for Miss Thing (Sean Lockhart).
And Jim, don't use the excuse that "Bryan's murder wouldn't change Sean's restriction against using the copyrighted name "Brent Corrigan" or any of Sean's debts and obligations toward Cobra Video. Bryan's family and/or new buyers would inherit Cobra and it rights, keeping Sean enslaved. Therefore Sean and Grant are not inivolved in plotting Bryan's murder."
Sean, Grant, Harlow and Joe could ALL easily have been ignorant of that fact. They could have all easily thought murdering Bryan would solve all their problems.
They've been so incredibly stupid and ignorant about everything ELSE so far.
So the Fat Lady hasn't even begun to sing on Lockhart, Roy and/or Bergeron. Stay tuned.
PREDICTION: It will be found that Harlow and Joe were both using CRYSTAL METH at the time of the murder.
The 28 stab wounds and fire are what I would call OVERKILL for people who didn't know Bryan personally.
Meth is common among gay porn and gay men, especially in Red States.
Harlow appears strangely calm and dettached in his shower fucking scene with Mason on boybatter.com — he stands and hoists Mason up and down his cock effortlessly; without tiring or straining a muscle. Possibly because Harlow was on meth? Meth blocks out the feelings of muscle strain and soreness, giving the user an effect of superhuman strength and endurance.
Joe Kerekes has Meth Face.
Don't be surprised if Tina was in on the murder, too!

You're extremely popular here. It comes from being SO WRONG ALL THE TIME.
I admit I leaned toward the "Harlow was framed" theory because I couldn't fathom any murderer being so stupid as to e-mail his pic and true identity to the victim before murdering him.
Boy, was I wrong. Harlow and Joe do, indeed harbor a staggering, Everest-sized reservoir of stupidity and hubris beyond my comprehension before.
I have to believe meth was involved just to save my faith in humanity that no person could be that fucking dumb in his natural state.
But I never ruled out the possibility that Joe and Harlow could have been the hitmen. Discovering their military records gave me great pause, in light of the testimony that the throat slash method is professional Marine training.
5:22: TAKE IT LIKE A BITCH BOY was somehow distributed by Cobra Video (at least online) in spite of Bryan's death. Bootlegs are readily available on several gay torrent sites.
A bret my old friend, how are you!
BTW, I agree with you on the meth theory. I proposed it over on Elm's blog 2 days ago.
"But I never ruled out the possibility that Joe and Harlow could have been the hitmen."
I can't seem to recall you ever, publically, ruling it in, however.
Ah, but no matter! I am in TOO good a mood these days to engage in quibbles!
Nice to see you have finally come around to me views on Harlow. It adds to my joy!
Welcome back, my friend, welcome back!
The boy (Cuadra) is going to make a great little prison bitchboy....I'll but he's already been passed around like a big fat joint in the county lock up...
I think little Brent should film as many prison scenes as possible before he gets arrested so he can have a little spending money while he's doing life.
my understanding is that any one conspirator is liable for the actions of all of the other conspirators. And, why they might have separate trials, you would thing all of the conspirators would have been arrested at the same time.
Although, California may not be as swift to buy what is coming out of PA as VA was.
The Bryan Kocis Scandal may just be the first criminal case in which there is actually NO sympathetic parties - the defendants, the witnesses, the prosecutors, the judges, the victim ... everybody associated with this case has "credibility issues".
What no one has mentioned yet. IF the state of PA elects NOT to charge anyone in San Diego criminally, Kocis' family/estate could still file a civil RICO and/or civil wrongful death complaint against the San Diego Camp.
And, of course, the Federal Government could pursue federal criminal charges against BOTH the San Diego and the Virginia camps ... RICO started out as a Federal Statute to help the Justice Department prosecute mob connected businesses. Any "pattern of fraud" that results in some harm can more or les be prosecuted under RICO.
FUCK YOU GRANT!!
Jim, for fuck sake, everyone KNOWS you're Grant and that you WANTED Bryan dead right from the start but didn't have the guts to kill him yourself so you asked Harlow and Joe to do it.
Stop trying to make yourself and Brent look like fucking saints!
I put the odds of either of those suits happening at approximately 0%.
Family members usually are not inclined to sue the people who help catch the murderers of their kin.
Right now law enforcement is obviously thinking along the same favorable lines too, towards their star witnesses.
Neither of the above are likely to be swayed by wild claims by anonymous trolls posting on obscure porn message boards.
lust remember, every IP address posting here is monitered by the Police.....
So if Grant and and Brent are posting here, they are already cought...
jim said...

What would Bryan Kocis have done? The Kocis family have the same lawyers that Bryan Kocis used.
Jim, c'mon, honestly now: 0%? No.
On a Federal RICO charge, OK, that seems a stretch. Maybe.
On a civil suit? You could say it would be weak, and that G/S don't have enough assets to warrant it, but it is most certainly not 0%.
If Brent wants to shoot a few scenes to make some quick cash, I'll give him $500.00 a scene and do a qucik release to be on shelves for his araignment day....
Brent Corrigan leaves destruction in his wake every where he goes. Everywhere he goes lives are destroyed. He may not have had anything to do with this murder though I doubt that, but he helped bring it on. He has a field of evil around him. He's poison.
UnFuckingBeliviable....
Check this out....
http://www.myspace.com/2wronglyaccused
I don't think the family would bring the suit in the first place. Why should they? Grant and Brent caught Bryan's murderer.
It's only the anons that can't accept that fact, and are calling for it.
The Kocis family, unlike some of the anons here, I'm sure are rational people and will not sue people who did them a huge service. They are probably not mentally disturbed Brent haters. And thats what you would have to be to want to file such a suit.
So, its not the odds I'm looking at (although they are low). It's the desire on the part of the Kocis family that I'm sure is lacking.
Jim, we'll have to disagree on this. I don't know where you're coming up with this stuff, honestly.
Jim -
I find it odd how persistent you are in defending Grant and Brent. The majority of people see that something is very suspicious about this whole set up, from beginning to end. Grant and Brent wanted nothing more than to be free from Bryan - for months and months and months. And not to go through the whole scenario again (because it's been laid out time and time again) but a very odd amount of convenient coincidences happened to rid them of this problem - and they turn around and HELP the police catch the killers? Because they are such upstanding, honorable citizens as you try and suggest. I'm sorry, but their track record suggests something other than upstanding guys.
While everyone else seems to at least see the suggestion that 1 + 1 = 2, you keep insisting that we are all wrong and 1 + 1 = 4. You leave no room for what seems to be a VERY STRONG possibility that Grant and Brent - while not actually committing the crime - contributed to it on some level.
The way you don't even let that possibility touch your mind seems very odd.
" The majority of people see that something is very suspicious about this whole set up, from beginning to end."
Here let me break some news to you. Just because one or two anon posters like you keep posting the same drivel on an obscure porn message board, does not mean "The majority of people see..." anything.
By the way, I consider myself an anon poster too...hence consider myself concluded with this statement as well...the "majority" of anon posters here do not amount to a hill of beans as to how this will play out.
As far as I know, the same person could be posting the same Brent bashing crap over and over again, pretending to be multiple people. So, don't flatter yourself in calling yourself part of a "majority."
You are, in fact, an anonymous poster on an obscure message board. As far as the real world is concerned, you are a complete irrelevancy. Nothing you say here will in any way influence current events re: this case.
You want to say a "majority" thinks something? Show me a Gallup poll. LOL!
Jim, you didn't address anything from the point above, other than dissing the poster for being anonymous.
Any chance you're a lawyer?
Even if Sean Lockhart and Grant Roy cooperated fully with the police, owned up to any and all involvement with the planning of Bryan Kocis's murder and conducted the surveillance recording under police direction, they will still be prosecuted if they condoned the murder beforehand in any way.
The prosecutors may seek a more lenient sentencing or choose lighter charges to pursue as a reward.
But if Sean and Grant committed crimes, they have to face the music.
BTW we don't even know if Grant and Sean were AWARE the police were recording their conversations with Harlow and Joe.
Grant and Sean could have been bugged or long-distance sound-monitored from afar.
Grant and Sean could easily be next on the prosecutors' list. PA, Federal and new CA authorities could still be in the beginning stages of prosecuting Lockhart/Roy. It's likely.
Why won't the police comment on their knowledge of Grant Roy's and Sean Lockhart's involvement?
If police had discovered Roy and Lockhart are innocent, wouldn't they safely confirm it now?
Police may not have enough evidence against Roy and Lockhart yet. The arrest and trial is just their first blow — the first time the police finally expose all the ways they KNOW Harlow and Joe are lying.
Cops could easily be hoping this prosecution will shake the lies out of Harlow and Joe, forcing them to reveal who else knew, etc.
Interesting post bret. I've not read anything like there being no other possible arrests, just that the police are confident they have arrested the killers (alleged).
Jim - you are right, nothing I say amounts to a hill of beans. But, if for one moment you think I don't represent the majority on this topic, then you are wrapping yourself in that same deluded blanket you wrap yourself in when you defend Grant and Brent against all possilbities that they were involved.
Go to any number of porn-related message boards (hey, I've even seen the topic on non-porn related) and the 'majority' of posters feel the same way I do. We could all be wrong - I grant you that, but I was just pointing out that your attempts to make Grant and Brent some sort of innocent crimebusters who just came across some dastardly villains who just happened to knock off the man they had been feuding with - well, a little suspicous, right? It's not so entirely implausible that they weren't involved, based on their past vindictive and manipulative behavior played all for all the world to see (which Bryan was just as guilty of).
Gosh, they could be totally, completely innocent. All the signs that point to their invovlement could be just incredible coincidences. But if this were a novel, it would be so much more contrived - so much more a miracle - if they WEREN'T involved on some level.
But I'll end this here. You are firmly entrenched in your corner that they are completly innocent, and I'm pretty firm that there's way more to this story (and Jim, really truly, a whole lot of people think the same thing - it's not just me, or a couple of anonymous posters. I've posted here on this topic - like three or four times; the rest come from other people).
Bret makes some good points he points out like myself in one post we don't know if Sean was part of the setup and wired or was unaware of the set up by investigators.This mornings pilotonline reveals more detail time of events and after reading it this case has many holes which leads to more questions.According to the police affidavit it says harlow and his partner continued with hints about killing Bryan but Sean drunk at the time didn't get it or was unaware of what they were tring to say but it finally set in.Ok well even if Sean was drunk that leaves Grant who was present so was he drunk impaired as well?A few days later Byran is dead.It goes on to say one person at the meeting informed police after the slaying.On January 25th the day after Bryans murder Harlow calls Sean to tell him to check out the local tv news website thats when Sean discovered that Bryan was dead.Sean became so upset and drove home immediately.My question is why would harlow tell Sean about the murder at the nude beach and now we know it wasn't the first time about at least hinting about he killed Bryan he even called him the next day after the murder took place.Like Bret post cops won't reveal how they recorded the conversations on the nude beach as well no mention i found interesting of Grant anywhere.He was at the now famous meeting as well present at the nude beach.Im sure in time we will find out if this ends with just Harlow & partner or their will be more to come up the road.We know grant wanted Bryan dead and Sean & Bryan had this on going legal dispute and now that a settlement is near Harlow appears very suspecious but one thing that could lead to being important is if the police find that infact Harlow and Sean have meet before or known each other before this Las vegas meeting took place for that would change everything as opposed to Sean claiming he had never meet Harlow before this meeting an all this took place.
If Harlow and Joe even have 3 brain cells in there respective heads which I doubt at this point. They will implicate Grant and Sean in this murder even if it's not true.
I find it hard to believe that Harlow and Joe decided to kill Sean and Grant's main enemy in and off them selves.
Most people hope and pray that the officer who hands them a ticket doesn't show up in court on trial day. Usually the cop shows up. Sean and Grant hope Bryan gets out of there way somehow and as if my magic someone shows up and offers to kill Bryan for them.
Most people can't get out of a ticket but these guys can will murder without being involved. Amazing!
The big question for me is this: Will Brent Corrigan please read the writing on the wall and retire from porn? It's kind of hard to turn someone on and get them off when you're thinking of the subject as someone who inspired murder.
Sounds so Party Monster.

Excellent point nw. I'd also add that every time I see Brent Corrigan on screen, especially in The Velvet Mafia, I kept thinking of him as a 17 year old.
EEWW!!
Does anybody know whether or not any of the studios would really hire Brent at this point anymore? Any inside info?
NW,
You took the words right out of my mouth. Brent needs to just leave the industry. I don't know if any studios will hire him. His LSG venture seems to be a disaster and he manipulates his fans for money. I don't see what hold he has over people. I think he has the capability to be another Jim Jones or David Koresh, his followers will do anything for Brent, maybe even take their own lives if he said so.
i hope the police have more than enough evidence for if Sean is their star witness that would be to much i can see it now im a bareback gay twink star.Had a lengthy ongoing legal problems with Bryan and my bf Grant wanted him dead.Along with many other lies along the way.If i were Harlow i do the Sean defense blame others and at the nude beach meeting i was to drunk at the time.Sean if you read these post like NW said it's time to retire.Seriously if your not guilty in anyways Bryans blood will always be on your hands.It's time to wake up and take this as a eye open learning experience knowing that what you have at this point and have tried to gather in this industry is not worth it.Like i said the blood of Bryan will always be on your hands.It wasn't your fault you got into porn it was your boyfriends idea and got you into working with Cobra.It wasn't your fault with the underage issue.Nope Bryans fault.No Sean you may both be guilty in some way but if you proved you were of underage or of age the issue would have gone away.It was you Sean that broke the contract.All you had to do was finish your obligation.It was you Sean that continued this stupid ongoing feud for wanting to keep you name Brent Corrigan.It was simple just Change you name as like in your film with Falcon and you were free of Cobra and Bryan.Its simple Sean your lies and deceit have now brought this plot to an end which results in a mans death.I ask for what your self ego.your obsession with yourself and being some icon in this industry.Lets face the truth your a narcissist.Noene of this would have happen simply if you come clean about the age issue.fullfilled your contract or simply moved on by changing your porn name.Harlow and yourself could have had your meeting.stuck a deal and made your money instead the outcome was a sad ending to this all.Looking back was this what you had invisioned for yourself and being this star you want to become in the porn industry.Your sad and this whole story is as well.Take a long look at yourself in the mirror and see who you are and have become is this the person you want to really be.The writting is in the wall Sean if not now your career will be short lived for stars become old or just not interesting any more especially when a new hot twink is waiting in the wings at any time.
I think Cuadra was obsessed with Corrigan, and that, just as much as profits, was the motive. In the quote where he said on the beach that it feels like "I got revenge," it makes sense if you emphasize the "I" -- in other words, he's saying that he did it for Corrigan -- Corrigan's revenge, but it felt like he was getting his own. I also think Corrigan and Roy did cooperate with authorities, but you beat them to the punch because they had to seek criminal counsel first, to discuss the fact that they had suspicions back in Las Vegas, but didn't report those to the authorities until shortly after the murder, rather than before. The fact that Cuadra only hinted at murder is Corrigan's and Roy's very credible excuse as to why they didn't report it immediately. Cuadra was obsessed with Corrigan and dreamed of becoming close to him and working with him and making money as well. I think that comes out on Cuadra's blog. This is all speculation, based on reading the news articles released so far.
If Sean Lockhart is innocent of any knowledge, instigation or planning of the murder, he shouldn't have to retire from porn.
He simply needs to level with the public, tell us everything he knows, his innocence, his location at the time of the murder and his alibi in accordance with good public relations.
Lockhart is a public performer selling his own image and personality for the audience's pleasure.
If there are gravely serious, criminal doubts about a public performer, he can't continue to perform and seek paying fans as if there's nothing wrong.
He has to maintain their confidence and conscience as well.
So far, Sean has evaded claiming innocence, sharing his side of the story or his alibi.
This only fuels doubt, hate and suspicion.
What may be shrewd legal advice from his attorney is ruinous business advice for a public performer in today's information age who depends on good public relations and capitalizes off his personal blog diary.
I, for one, can't beat off to Brent Corrigan videos in good conscience anymore.
Brent Corrigan is not just a physical fantasy anymore — I've discovered a fuller picture of his whole character and it's not flattering or hot.
It's a pathetic, desperate, using, manipulating, lying, stuck up, arrogant, contract-breaching, backstabbing con artist who may have caused a sleazy ex-boyfriend's murder.
Not attractive.
Only people who haven't followed the murder and controversies and know nothing of Brent Corrigan can accept him on purely physical grounds anymore.
The rest of us must accept all the baggage Brent Corrigan brings with him on-screen — his past dealings with Bryan, the scandals, the murder, the fan scams and doubts lingering in the backs of our minds — and that's hard to do.
It's going to be especially hard for Brent to find new customers and fans ignorant of his past because he's tried so desperately to involve them in the drama — he banks off it.
I'm not saying Corrigan can't still have a steady porn career — especially if he moves into production where he can hope to last.
I'm just saying that it would have to involve a lot of penance and innocence proof coming forth.
Plus, Corrigan would have to completely revamp his working style and beomce a respectful professional to get trust and cooperation from even the porn industry.
As it stands, Brent Corrigan is a demanding, unreliable primadonna with respect for no one but himself, who breaches contracts, flakes out, fails to deliver and betrays or badmouths everyone he works with.
He'll have a tough time making any professional relationships if he never changes his character.
I, for one, can't beat off to Brent Corrigan videos in good conscience anymore.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I'll bet Brent’s Criminal Defense Lawyer would not agree with the statement below!
"If Sean Lockhart is innocent of any knowledge, instigation or planning of the murder, he shouldn't have to retire from porn.

jim....
I don't think the family would bring the suit in the first place. Why should they? Grant and Brent caught Bryan's murderer.
would they bring a suit against the people who instigated the whole thing ...
and by grants own addmission to the police - he was the one who contacted harlow ... hoping he would hook up with brent and make some money
Jody Wheeler @ 6:09:
Your sarcasm is perfectly in character — the way you always triviliaze Bryan's death for your personal, monetary gain.
We all know you're a biased, untrustworthy commentator on this scandal. Your business dependence on Brent Corrigan to make you a successful filmmaker/writer is a conflict of interest when discussing publicly who killed Bryan Kocis or any of Brent Corrigan's shady antics.
We all know Brent Corrigan is your "friend" and you have ulterior commercial needs to present him as innocent, trustworthy and good to associate with.
We all know you're counting on his various scandals and publicity to bring publicity and success to your own film. You're a crass opportunist and a parasite who sees only dollar signs in Bryan's murder.
7:44,
My notes on Brent Corrigan's potential future in porn have nothing to do with legality.
What did you mean?
That Brent's criminal defense attorney will stop Brent from doing porn or reparing his public image/mistrust with evidence?
Or did you think I meant Brent would have to do the things I mentioned to have any porn career at all?
Because he doesn't. Brent could easily have a crumby, less successful porn career for a little while without doing the things I mentioned ...
The attourny will walk if Brent does any of the things you said he should do. Just like the other one walked.
I think Brent and company are looking at about 24 to life for there involvemnet. "Anything you say can and will be used against you" we all learned that from Adam 12'
Showing my age! I'm getting up there, one of my first boyfriends was Matt Gunther to give you an idea...

Brent isn't going to make me successful. I'm not going to make him successful. Life doesn't work like that, son.

I don't need to present him like that -- he already is. He's human though, and has made mistakes. His just get obsessed over because people like to watch him have sex. Silly, but what can you do?
I know! Point that out to people.

If you'll check the record, you'll note he and I met up before Bryan was murdered, back in the more innocent time when, well, you could cum in peace. The opportunity I took was seeing if Sean could act. He can. The dollar signs will come over his talent, not the misfortune of Bryan being killed by the Two Dumbest Criminals On the Planet (tm).

Jody says on his site
In fact, according to the affidavit, as obliquely as it was raised, it was rather explicitly shot down by Grant.
... see its now stated as fact that grant got in first with the story ... i like the bit where he menition sean being drunk ... that will explain seans lack of memory when he is called to tell the truth... clever how grant spoke for both he and sean ...

This post has been removed by the author.
On page 18 of the criminal complaint filed against Cuadra and Kerekes evidence from Harlow's MySpace shows messages sent to Grant Roy asking when they were going to start filming and he spoke of an 'agreement' they supposedly made with Grant Roy and Sean Lockhart. His message threatens to "tell them you hired us." His message also tells them they are coming to San Diego. Police followed them there and the report states that conversations were intercepted because Cuadra and Kerekes were under surveillance at the time.
The only people listed as cooperating with the police was an associate of Cuadra and Kerekes and Kocis webmaster. The evidence is overwhelming against Cuadra and it is clear that Kerekes did the killing, throat slashing, while Cuadra kept Kocis distracted pretending to be Danny Molin.
It is interesting that Lockhart and Roy did not meet with Cuadra and Kerekes until after they threatened to tell people they had an ‘agreement’ and implied they had been ‘hired’ by Lockhart and Roy. They also threatened that conversations at Le Cirque in Las Vegas were tape recorded further adding to the possibility that there may be evidence to support conspiracy and further arrests in the case.
One fact that is suspect to me is that the criminal complaint states that Bryan Kocis sent an email to Sean Lockhart that included a photo of Harlow Cuadra stating that this boy was coming to his house to interview as a potential model. Lockhart clearly knew that the model in the photo was not someone named Danny Molin because he had just spent a few days with him in Las Vegas yet Lockhart did not warn or attempt to warn Kocis that the model's name was actually Harlow a person Sean told police suggested killing Kocis when they met in Las Vegas a week earlier.
anon,
the affidavit stated that a mail was send to sean which stated in part that bryan was expecting a model to arrive later that day. it does not state that a pic of that model was attached.
(re the death of Bryan)
As usual BB, your reading comprehension is sub-par. That was a reference to Bret's inability to cum in peace.
obliquely as it was raised...
Obliquely as it was raised by Harlow, Rob. According to the affidavit, Grant shot Harlow down and changed the subject.
jody says:
him: Your sarcasm is perfectly in character —
you: Why yes it is. It's one of my best qualities. Thanks for noticing.
him: the way you always triviliaze Bryan's death....
you: Bwahahahahahahahahahaha! *wipes tear out of eye*
ok if you say so.
to 8:50 and 9:48 - I thought about that too. And while we don't know since it wasn't fleshed out, it would only seem natural that Bryan would forward the pic to Sean, as a "see, look at this hottie coming over". Granted, he may not have, but the pic was right there, he's talking to his now returned 'top star' about another hottie coming over - sending the pic on seems natural.
Would someone, Dear God, please shut Brent Corrigan down? I just went over to his website and all it is are vanity photos of this kid. He's not even a real porn star anymore; he's becoming a gay porn version of Paris Hilton. Famous for being famous!
Well, it seems like people are getting tired of these folks. She's going to jail. Hopefully Corrigan will too.
14 minutes and counting. 15 minutes soon to be up.
Yeh but those pics are 2 years old. He can't hide behind the wonder years for too long.
Thats why he wanted Cobra dead. They would always have the most marketable part of him.
Who would buy Sean with some lame rent boy if they could watch him with Brent Everett?
This is and always has been about getting our porn dollar.
No one would buy an LSG Sean film ahead of a Cobra one. He couldn't stop time so he had to kill the Cobra.
More Details in Bryan Kocis,Cobra Video porn producer's slaying
Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes

At first, Sean Lockhart didn't get it.
Here he was, at the luxurious Le Cirque restaurant in Las Vegas, sitting with three fellow gay-porn stars, one of whom would eventually tell State Police about the meeting.
They were on the verge of a deal - a big deal. If it worked, it might make them rich. Might even make them $1 million. Or so they imagined.
But there was a catch: Lockhart was caught in a messy contract dispute with a porn producer in Pennsylvania named Bryan Kocis.
Across the table, fellow porn star Harlow Cuadra offered a solution. "What if Bryan left the country?" Cuadra said. "What if he went to Canada?"
Lockhart was drunk and didn't get the hint. "Then he'd only come back," Lockhart replied.
Another porn star at the table - Cuadra's romantic partner and business partner, Joseph Kerekes - hinted again. "Harlow knows someone who would do anything for him," Kerekes said.
Suddenly, Lockhart got it: Cuadra was offering to kill Kocis.
A few days later,(correction; 13 days later,the dinner was on Jan 11th Bryan was killed Jan 24th) Kocis was dead. His throat was slashed, his body stabbed 28 times and his house set afire to conceal the slaying.
Details of the meeting at Le Cirque, including the dialogue between the participants as well as Lockhart's thoughts, are contained in a 21-page police affidavit released Tuesday - the same day police arrested Cuadra and Kerekes and charged them in Kocis' slaying.
One of the men at the Las Vegas dinner with Cuadra and Kerekes informed police about that meeting after the slaying.
Cuadra, 25, and Kerekes, 33, shared a new $571,000 house at 1028 Stratem Court, off Birdneck Road in Virginia Beach.
Together, they run a business called Norfolk Male Escorts, and they produce porn movies, which they sell on several Web sites.
In the movies, Kerekes goes by the stage name Trent and portrays a tough Marine. Cuadra is the baby-faced "twink" - slang for a young-looking male model with little or no body hair, suggesting an underage boy.(Straight writers ;) Harlow has a great body but HE IS NO TWINK)
Cuadra and Kerekes were still only bit players in the gay-porn world. Police think they killed Kocis in a misguided effort to strike it big.
Doug Lawrence, editor of GAYVN, a magazine that covers gay-video news, said he has never heard of the pair. But that's not unusual, he said, as the industry becomes more decentralized, moving away from its base in San Francisco, with smaller Web sites - such as Cuadra's and Kerekes' - trying to compete.
"Anyone can have a Web site and be a producer," Lawrence said.
Cuadra and Kerekes imagined themselves as major players in the twink market. Their most ambitious project was one that would pair two of the hottest twinks on the Internet: Cuadra and a young man from California who went by the stage name Brent Corrigan.
That was Sean Lockhart, who was already under contract to Bryan Kocis, a porn producer who lived in Dallas, Pa., just outside Wilkes-Barre.
Kocis was "a pariah" in the mainstream gay porn business, Lawrence said, because his videos often featured unsafe "bareback" sex - without condoms - and models who were as young as legally permissible, and sometimes even younger than that. i.e. Brent Corrigan
"He was not a big player," Lawrence said.*See note below
Still, when Kocis' house went up in flames on Jan. 24 and his body was found inside, the news spread quickly in the gay porn world. Dozens of bloggers on Internet porn sites offered wild conspiracy theories. Kocis' life became the subject of a long Wikipedia entry.
His death generated a huge police investigation that crossed into several states and drew in three federal agencies.
Eventually, it led police to raid the house off Birdneck Road.
The police affidavit from Pennsylvania describes in detail virtually every e-mail, phone call and action of how the events unfolded, day by day, starting with the fateful dinner at Le Cirque and ending with Cuadra and Lockhart frolicking on a nude San Diego beach.
Photos of that scene are posted on Cuadra's personal Web site. They show Cuadra with his new friend, porn star Lockhart.
Cuadra's blog, accompanying the photos, describes the day and the beach scene.
"It was a culture shock," wrote Cuadra, a former Navy corpsman at Oceana Naval Air Station. "Not even in the Navy had I ever been in front of that many people naked... Lots of laughs were had tossing the ole football around and frolicking around in the nude. My favorite part was how Brent melted in my arms cuddling on a beach blanket."
The blog and photos make one thing clear: Cuadra was totally unaware that police were taping his every word. Police would not reveal how they did it. See Blog Post below
The police affidavit lays out what happened:
The same four men who dined together in Las Vegas were on the beach: Cuadra, Kerekes, Lockhart and Lockhart's partner, Grant Roy.
At some point during their conversations, Cuadra admitted he was present when Kocis was slain.
He talked about how he had done "some recon work" at Kocis' house, describing how the victim's door did not have a peephole, and how it had some square windows at the top but Kocis was not tall enough to see through them.
Police say Cuadra set up a meeting with Kocis using an alias and corresponding by e-mail, posing as a young man who wanted to model for Kocis and make movies. Police tracked the trail of e-mails and phone calls after the fact.
In the San Diego beach conversation, according to the affidavit, Cuadra described himself inside Kocis house, sharing wine with Kocis. Kerekes said he thought Cuadra slipped something into Kocis' drink, after which Kocis was "kind of stumbling" around.
And Cuadra talked about the killing itself. "It was quick," he said. "He never saw it coming."
Cuadra talked about watching Kocis die. "Actually, it's sick, but it made me feel better inside," Cuadra said. "It almost felt like I got revenge."
The affidavit lays out a complex web of circumstantial evidence leading to police taping the beach conversation.
Cuadra and Kocis had never met. But they did exchange e-mails and phone calls, setting up a face-to-face meeting at Kocis' house for the night he was killed.
On Jan. 20 - four days before the slaying - the police affidavit says Cuadra used his Discover card to charge $39.95 to conduct an Internet background check of Kocis.
On Jan. 22 - two days before the killing - the affidavit describes how Cuadra set up an alias e-mail account at Yahoo.com and used it exclusively to communicate with the victim. Later that same day, the affidavit shows, Cuadra used the e-mail account to set up the meeting with Kocis for Jan. 24.
On Jan. 23 - the day before the slaying - the affidavit says Cuadra used his Discover card and his driver's license to rent a Nissan Xterra sport utility vehicle in Virginia Beach. The SUV was gray or silver with three brake lights - matching a witness' description of a vehicle seen leaving Kocis' house the night of the murder.
That same day, the affidavit says, Kerekes checked into the Fox Ridge Inn in Pennsylvania, not far from Kocis' house, using his driver's license, paying cash in advance for two days for two people.
It appears from the affidavit that both Cuadra and Kerekes visited the victim's house the night of the killing. Both are quoted from the San Diego beach conversation, describing the inside of Kocis' house, including his expensive home entertainment system and an upstairs bedroom.
On Jan. 25 - the day after - Cuadra returned the SUV, having driven it 1,052 miles. A round-trip from Virginia Beach to Dallas, Pa., is 770 miles.
That same morning, according to the affidavit, Cuadra called Lockhart to break the news. He told Lockhart to check out a local TV news Web site. That's when Lockhart discovered that Kocis was dead.
"I guess my guy went overboard," Cuadra said, according to the affidavit.
Lockhart became upset and drove home immediately.
Cuadra and Kerekes were arrested Tuesday - two weeks after the San Diego beach meeting. They are being held in the Virginia Beach jail, with no bond, awaiting a June 14 extradition hearing.
Dewayne here,,GayVN was furious when they gave Bryan Kocis an Award for Best Amateur studio in 2001 only to see him go Bareback in 2002. Cobra was a heavy seller at retail in the US and in 2003,2004 & 2005 the highest selling US Studio for Eurocreme.
Cobra was much BIGGER than Mr.Lawrence cares to acknowledge. Lawrence was correct in stating that Bryan was treated as a Pariah by the West Coast Porn Establishment. Didn't bother him,he became RICH from Cobra Video(5 million gross alone from Mr. Corrigans videos)
