Harlow Cuadra Testifies In Own Defense, Corrigan To Face Death Penalty?

Harlow Cuadra Testifies In Own Defense
Corrigan To Face Death Penalty?
UPDATE: 3/11/09 7:15pm While scrolling through RSS feeds this morning, we found this startling (and entirely wrong) headline from PageOneQ.com. Looks like Brent Corrigan better watch his perfect, bubble-shaped ass or he could end up a dead man!
UPDATE: 3/11/09 3:30pm The closing arguments have begun, with the defense penning it all on Kerekes and the prosecution saying the murder wasn’t “a solo act.”
In what seems to be the last day of testimony, three exciting things happened: 1) Joseph Kerekes took the stand in Cuadra’s defense then said absolutely nothing, 2) Cuadra’s mom stood up and shouted, “You stole my son,” to Kerekes, and 3) Cuadra told his version of events, which sounded, to put it lightly, a little fishy. Here’s highlights quoted directly and summarized from H and J Trial and The Advocate:
KEREKES HOLDS HIS TONGUE
After speculation over wether Kerekes would testify for or against Cuadra, he just showed up and said nothing for five minutes… thanks a lot, Joe.
1) KEREKES HOLDS HIS TONGUE: Before Cuadra took the stand, jurors saw his ex-boyfriend and convicted second-degree murderer, Joe Kerekes. Sources told one reporter that in exchange for Joe’s testimony, the defense team deposited $300 into Joe’s canteen (so that he could buy a TV).
Wearing prison garb and shackles, Kerekes took the stand briefly but refused to speak about the case. “I’ve been thinking a lot about my parents, and it would destroy them if I said something that I didn’t do,” Kerekes said. Kerekes’ horrendous grammar makes his comments a little difficult to understand, but he apparently changed his mind about testifying on behalf of his ex-boy candy.
Kerekes, 35, pleaded guilty to second-degree homicide in December and is serving a life sentence. In his plea, he said Cuadra killed Kocis and then set fire to his Dallas Township home in January 2007. Kerekes’ testimony could have absolved Cuadra of all guilt, but his silence is far more damning. The defense team should’ve blown that 300 bucks on hats.

We could not find a picture of Cuadra’s mom, so we used this picture instead. It’s from a Nintendo DS game called Ace Lawyer.
2) CUADRA’S MOM CALLS KEREKES OUT: After Kerekes’ amazingly underwhelming testimony, Cuadra’s mother shouted “You stole my son,” at Kerekes as he left the courtroom. We’re not sure if she meant “My son’s gonna rot because of your crap testimony” or if she meant “You took the best years of his life, you big-dicked bastard.” Either way, tres dramatique!
You see, when Kerekes pleaded guilty to second-degree homicide in December, he said Cuadra killed Kocis and then set fire to his Dallas Township home, effectively implicating his ex for first-degree murder (pre-meditation and and active role in its execution). We’re not sure what part Cuadra played in the near-decapitation, 28 stabbings, and torching of Kocis. But according to Cuadra’s testimony, Cuadra had no role in the murder other than as a bystander.

Cocksure Men Responds to the Controversy with Nick

Cocksure Men's response to Nick
If you frequent QueerClick, you know we recently posted an Cocksure Men update featuring Nick—a straight model who died accidentally a few years ago. According to police reports, there was no foul play. It was not a suicide. We initially posted the images of Nick and later pulled them thinking the whole update was in poor taste. I guess that got some attention. Cocksure Men contacted us today and they gave us their perspective on the issue:

…we knew when we were adding it that it was going to be a controversial decision, but it was a bit of a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don’t thing. Cocksure Men has two updates per week. The majority of the content is new, but we’ve also included a lot of the “non-Jake” scenes from Jake Cruise. People have asked to see lots of those classic scenes and since we have a non-Jake site, it made sense to include them. You have the option of joining either site. If you want to see Jake with the guys, join Jake Cruise. If you just want to see the guys solo or together, join Cocksure Men.

Had we not included it, people would have said we were “making” them join Jake Cruise to see Nick’s solo scene, and if we included it (which we chose to do), we would be called out for using older images of a model who died in an accident quite a while after we shot him. The fans asked for him and we answered that call.

Our decision also took into account that many other adult performers have died—including Joey Stefano whose videos are still huge sellers, Casey Donovan, Leo Ford and many of my other favorite porn stars—and it’s never been suggested that their DVDs be deleted. Rightfully so. Leo’s movie Blondes Do It Best is one of my favorite porn movies ever. John Holmes died in the 80s and you can still buy his DVDs.

Nick looks amazing in his scene. He’s got a great body, a handsome face and he has a presence that jumps off the screen. He was very proud of how well this shoot came off and rightly so. It’s still a favorite with the fans all these years later. There’s no reason not to include it, really.

Valid points. While we know where we stand on this—what about you. We’re curious, what do you think?

Men Over 30: Brock Russell

Brock
Brock was on Men Over 30 a couple months ago when he got a chance to sample some prime meat and see just how good it can get with a man wiser and more experienced. Boston lad, Brock admits he typically prefers younger guys. His first kiss was with a boy that would become his first major crush while the two were on a waterbed during a sleep over…ahh, waterbeds—a blast from the 80’s past. He admits it took him a while before considering taking his natural exhibitionist tendencies and turning them into a career in the adult industry. It was a slow and gradual progression which started with public sex in cars or the beach knowing others might be watching to sex at parties. When asked what the best sexual experience he’s ever had, he admits it’s probably not what most would expect. It doesn’t even involve fucking. He instead remembers his first boyfriend and the amazing head he was first introduced to; and sadly realizing, after the fact, that no one else would ever compare or be able to suck his dick off to completion.

Testimony Highlights From Harlow Cuadra Trial

Testimony Highlights From Harlow Cuadra Trial
EDITOR’S NOTE: There’s a picture of the murder victim’s charred corpse after the jump which some readers may find disturbing.
The prosecution in the Bryan Kocis murder trial is expected to rest their case against Harlow Cuadra this Monday or Tuesday. They’ve called more than 50 witnesses and we’ve condensed their testimony into bite-sized nuggets below:
STRONG ENOUGH FOR MURDER?
Cuadra carrying Brent Corrigan in private footage taken at a nude beach.
STRONG ENOUGH FOR MURDER?: A thin Harlow Cuadra slouched in his courtroom chair Thursday, not looking as jurors watched a video of him, shirtless, lifting dumbbells and flexing his muscles.
To prove that Cuadra had the strength to stab and kill Bryan Kocis, the prosecution called Lance Threadway, owner of the Virginia Beach gym where Cuadra and his partner, Joseph Kerekes, worked out regularly. Threadway called Cuadra, “a very strong gentleman… who regularly bench pressed 225 pounds.” Threadway said neither Cuadra or his boyfriend, Joseph Kerekes, checked into the gym between January 24th (the day Kocis was killed) and 26th.
Cuadra’s attorneys have painted Cuadra as weaker than his ex, admitted killer Joseph Kerekes, saying in opening statements that Cuadra wasn’t strong enough to stab Kocis and slash his throat.
HUSTLING FOR AN ALIBI:
Cuadra was also an escort with several friendly and helpful clients.
HUSTLING FOR AN ALIBI: Cuadra’s former clients testified that Cuadra contacted them for an alibi for the night of the murder. “A bad alibi is better than no alibi,” Cuadra allegedly told Howard Mitchell Halford according to Halford’s testimony.
Halford met Cuadra through the male escort service Cuadra co-owned with Kerekes in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Halford said he loved Cuadra and often worried about him, giving Cuadra a key to his home so Cuadra could “have an option” if there was ever a problem with Kerekes. Since Cuadra’s arrest, Halford has donated more than $70,000 to Cuadra for his legal fund and other expenses. But he never lied to police.
“You were not with him on Jan. 24?” Assistant District Attorney Michael Melnick asked.
The testimony continues after the jump!

Jason Crew Becomes Raging Stallion Exclusive, Lucas Entertainment To Release Crew Compilation

Jason Crew Becomes Raging Stallion Exclusive and Gets A Lucas Entertainment Compilation
Gay porn star, Jason Crew, also made a few bisexual films under the name Jason Clydesdale and seeing the vers-top’s 10-inch cock, we can understand why—the man is horse-hung and handsome. The 6’1″ brunette has beautiful hazel eyes, a smooth lean body, a fuckable ass, and a curved man-slayer that makes bottoms beg and moan with pleasure.
Though Crew signed an exclusive contract with Raging Stallion Studios this week, Lucas Entertainment has decided to release a compilation DVD of nine of Crew’s past scenes, all shot according to Michael Lucas, “when no other studio would give [Crew] the time of day.” Hmmm… given the concurrent release of these two news items, one has to wonder whether the notoriously catty Lucas is extending the ongoing press fight between the two studios by trying to take the wind from Raging Stallions’ sails by releasing their new star’s old work.
Either way, after seeing Crew fuck Marc LaSalle—pistoning his cock back and forth in Marc’s mouth, slapping Marc with it, repeatedly slipping his cock out of Marc’s hungry ass and ramming it back in—we can’t wait to relive his other work. No release date has been set for the compilation DVD.
Thanks to XBIZ for the update!

Jake Cruise signs Bo Dean as an exclusive!

Bo Dean is now a Jake Cruise exclusive
Jake Cruise announced some exciting news this past week. New-comer Bo Dean (who we think is fucking dreamy as hell) is the site’s first exclusive performer. That means you can look forward to seeing Bo in over 3 dozen additional scenes over the next year appearing on JakeCruise.com, CockSureMen.com and StraightGuysForGayEyes.com (aka SG4GE.com).

“After 7 years in the business Bo was the first model that impressed me so much that I offered him the first exclusive contract ever from my company. He will appear in both gay and straight scenes that showcase his good looks, charisma, and sexual prowess,” announced Cruise.

The muscular, tattooed Kentucky native worked construction jobs until his first appearance in a solo on Jake Cruise in January (you can check out the QC link here and here on QCX), soon followed by a straight scene with Natasha Nice on SG4GE.com. Bo’s scenes were huge hits with us and we’d like to wish him and Jake Cruise a big congratulations! We can’t wait to see more!

Where Is All The Mormon Porn?

Last week, we posted an unsurprising study that revealed the most conservative states in the U.S. consume the most porn. And at the top of the list was (ta-da!) Utah, home of the Mormon/Latter Day Saints church, which got us thinking… just how much Mormon gay porn is out there?
Before we began searching, we wanted a picture of just how conservative Utah is. Despite the LDS church’s backing of Prop. 8, the entire state isn’t crawling with anti-gay Mormons. In fact, the most conservative Mormons live outside of Salt Lake City and Park City. In the metropolitan areas there’s lots of young, hip artsy-types who couldn’t care less who you bugger.
Porn Czar
We tried to find a good picture of Utah Porn Czar, Paula Houston, but one just doesn’t exist.
Sadly though, Republicans and LDS-affiliated politicians own the government. In 2001, Utah became the only state to appoint a Porn czar, Paula Houston, a single 40-year-old Mormon woman (and alleged virgin) who earned $80,000 a year to, um… to… well, perhaps we’ll just let her tell you:

“To ferret out and prosecute those who violate obscenity laws and to help communities write their own. [Porn] is a foul sleaze that makes its exploiters wealthy, its victims impoverished. It will become an obsession. It will destroy your home life. It will destroy your marriage.”

You may wonder how a member of the Mormon Church can fairly address pornography, which the denomination views as an addiction akin to drugs. Yes, well… so did everyone else. Luckily, when the Attorney General’s office had to cut $750,000 from its budget, they cut her job too.
Gay Mormons exist of course. One can be gay in the Mormon church, as long as they’re homo-celibate. If they aren’t, they face excommunication (never being allowed to set foot inside a Mormon temple again). Given that choice, some stay closeted, some live a hush-hush but actively gay lifestyle while still attending temple, and others leave the church.
Sean Cody, a real ex-Mormon hero

One notable Mormon who left the church is Sean Cody. In fact, he once talked about how he went from Mormon to gay porn auteur:

Split Identity: Jagger and Tegan

Split Identity: Jagger and Tegan
Just a little while ago, our Spanish speaking friends at QC Español posted a yummy little spread on hot model Tegan and we couldn’t help but think that he looked familiar. Well, that’s because he’s also Chaos Men’s Jagger. What we love is that as Tegan, he only shows his ass, but teases us by keeping his cock out of view. We’re lucky enough to know that Jagger’s packing heat and got a hot, hairy hole. Jagger or Tegan, clothed or naked, we’re fans!

Harlow Cuadra To Testify This Week In Bryan Kocis Capital Murder Trial

harlowcuadraishot.jpg
Murder suspect Harlow Cuadra is expected to take the stand in his own defense this week in the trial for the capital murder of porn producer, Bryan Kocis. With evidence slowly mounting against the young porn star, things don’t look good for Mr. Cuadra. XBIZ reports:

One newspaper account notes that prosecutors spent the first three days of testimony “laying a foundation that placed Cuadra in Northeastern Pennsylvania the night Kocis died. Emails, as well as computer and financial records were reviewed. Prosecutors showed rental records of a car Cuadra paid for matching the description of the silver sport utility vehicle parked outside Kocis’ house on Jan. 24 [2007]. Video footage of Cuadra and Kerekes purchasing a knife and pistol from a Virginia Beach, Va., pawn shop days before Kocis died was shown to jurors.”

On top of that, Cuadra and his then boyfriend opened an e-mail account to set up a meeting with the murder victim on the day of the crime. Cuadra also rented a gray Nissan Nissan Xterra SUV seen at the victim’s house the night of the murder.
