Shocking as it is, the underground world of gay porn is not just teeming with sex and ambition, but crime and murder as well. Heck, gay porn site Fleshbot even runs its own (frequent) crime blotter. And yesterday, in the first day of the Pennsylvania trial against 27-year-old Harlow Cuadra, whose been charged with murdering rival porn producer Brian Kocis, one of his former stars, Justin Hensley (pictured), gave the jury a picture of just how much handgun-wielding fun Cuadra could be.

While both claim they were staying at the Fox Ridge Motel in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Kerekes may or may not say he stayed in the room while Cuadra went to see Kocis. Speaking hypothetically, Kerekes wondered whether maybe Cuadra (pictured) stumbled onto the murder scene, which had been torched. [Citizen Voice]

The twists and turns keep coming in the Bryan Kocis murder trial. Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes stand accused of the January, 2007 murder of porn producing Kocis, but Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. put the trial on hold indefinitely after finding a possible conflict of interest with Cuadra's lawyer:

Olszewski Jr. on Thursday granted a prosecution motion to remove Cuadra's attorney. The prosecutor argued that Cuadra's lawyer could have a conflict of interest because two other public defenders might be called as witnesses against him.

Olszewski appointed to two other pro-bono lawyers from a private practice to represent Cuadra.

To give the new attorneys time to prepare their case Olszewski indefinitely postponed the trial, which was to have begun in March. Both Cuadra and Kerekes face the death penalty, but Kerekes' lawyers are hoping they can kill that possibility.

Bad news for Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, the porn stars on trial for the violent murder of producer Bryan Kocis:

A Pennsylvania prosecutor will seek the death penalty for two gay porn actors and male escorts who are charged with killing a rival producer.

In the notice filed Monday, Luzerne County District Attorney David Lupas said the case is eligible for the death penalty because Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes robbed Bryan Kocis and set his house on fire after they killed him.

The alleged arson, which posed a "grave risk of death to another person," was the prosecutor's primary reason for seeking the death penalty, according to the motion.

Lesson learned: don't stab someone 28 times and then try to torch their homes. Although, as always, we wag a finger at the death penalty.

A Pennsylvania judge thinks there's sufficient evidence against Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes to warrant a murder trial.

The porn stars stand accused of Bryan Kocis' cold-blooded January murder.

Chatting with the press after the judge reached his decision, Cuadra maintained his innocent and said of the ruling, "It sucks." Brief, poignant, true: it totally sucks to be on trial for murder. It'll suck even more if you're found guilty.

Murder's ugly, dirty, bloody business. Consider these fresh details in the murder case against Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, both of whom are accused of killing porn producer Bryan Kocis':

A gay man who operated one of the country's biggest gay adult entertainment companies died of massive blood loss after his head was nearly sliced off a court was told on Monday.
…
"We were able to ascertain it was a smooth cutting, probably one swipe. It was a very sharp object," Luzerne County Coroner Dr. John Consalvo testified.

And, as if that's not revolting enough, allow us to remind you that the killer or killers stabbed Kocis about 28 times. They may be coldblooded, but they've got some work ethic!

One of the porn stars accused of killing Bryan Kocis claims he's as innocent as a kitten. 33-year old Joseph Kerekes spoke to press after being charged with the murder yesterday and again insisted he had nothing to do with Kocis' killing. And neither did 25-year old Harlow Cuadra, who went to Kocis' house alone, says Kerekes:

Kerekes said Cuadra called him when he arrived at Kocis’ home at about 7 p.m. He said he was surprised when Cuadra immediately called him after a few minutes saying he was leaving.

“Harlow called and said something was wrong and that he was leaving. He said, ‘I can’t talk about it on the phone, I’ll be there in a few minutes,’ ” Kerekes said.
…
“Harlow said he got there the door was partially open. He looked inside and saw an overturned table and smelled smoke. He said he saw someone on a couch or chair, and heard a noise upstairs, like someone was about to come down,” Kerekes said.

Naturally Cuadra ran from the house, picked up Kerekes and they went into hiding together. That's what we'd do if we came across such a suspicious scene. We'd never consider calling the cops. Never. Ever.

Former porn stars Joseph Kerekes and Harlow Cuadra, aged 33 and 25, respectively, have now officially been charged with producer Bryan Kocis' brutal January murder. The men appeared in a Pennsylvania court today after being extradited from Pennsylvania.

Kerekes and Cuadra, who allegedly killed Kocis over a business deal gone wrong, have pleaded not guilty. Kerekes told the court, "To answer your question, no, I didn’t do it." A detailed affidavit suggests otherwise.

And people think porn stars are fantasy men. But, from what we hear, a few of you go for the crazed (alleged) killers.

When will gay porn stars learn? Crime doesn't pay. As Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes stand accused of murder, former porn star Dandy David Wiles (aka Tommy Saxx) languishes in jail for credit card fraud. And not any old credit card fraud – he stole a dying man's plastic and went on a shopping spree! Gross, right?

Things aren't looking so good for affirmed pornographers and accused killers, 25-year old Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, 33. The not-so-gentlemen were arrested last week for the murder of Pennsylvania-based bareback producer, Bryan Kocis. And it's looking pretty premeditated.

The web-based porn duo wanted to hire a porn star named Sean Lockhart aka Brent Corrigan. Unfortunately, the late Kocis had Lockhart's rock hard cock locked in a contract.

Rather than waiting out the contract, web-based porn producer Kerekes and his rising "star", Cuadra decided to kill Kocis, a damning affidavit says. The 21-page . Because, you know, that's the logical thing to do…

An affidavit offers the appalling details of how Cuadra and Kerekes met with Lockhart, offered to kill Kocis and proceeded to carry out the murder. Read all about it, after the jump…

Porn producer Joseph Kerekes and skin starlet Harlow Cuadra may be in prison for murder, but they refuse to be treated like criminals.

The two were arrested and charged in Vriginia Beach, VA, Tuesday for the January murder of business rival, Bryan Kocis. Police allege that Kerekes and Cuadra (pictured) plotted and carried out Kocis' killing – and apparently the devilish duo really wanted Kocis dead: they stabbed him 28 times and then set his house on fire. In addition to the murder and arson charges, the boys are also facing racketeering charges.

As their good fortune wears off and their bank accounts remain frozen, the boys remain resolute in cock-blocking justice: they've refused extradition to Pennsylvania…

Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes have been charged in porn producer Bryan Kocis' (pictured) brutal murder. Police found Kocis' mutilated, charred body back in January and instantly followed a trail to 25-year old Cuadra, an alleged escort who emailed Kocis hours before his death. Cuadra denied his involvement, of course, but police kept digging.

Their investigation led them to Cuadra and Kerekes' shared home, from which authorities took a gun, computers and DNA samples. Cuadra and Kerekes, however, were no where to be found. They were picked up yesterday morning in Virginia Beach and have now officially been charged with murder, conspiracy, arson, burglary and abuse of a corpse, among other things. Police suspect that Cuardra and Kerekes – who run some naughty websites – attempted to steal Kocis' star actor, but Kocis resisted, which led them to kill him. Sheesh, don't these people have agents?
