Ronald Baker claims he was forced to inject the penises of gay adult film stars with the prescription enhancement drug, TriMix, then fired after he accidentally pricked himself in the thumb following an injection.
According to Opposing Views, Baker’s suit claims:
“Defendants require employees, who are not models and are not trained or certified in any manner to give injections, to inject controlled substances for erectile dysfunction using a hypodermic syringe into the model’s penis. The model can then maintain an erection for multiple hours in duration, during which time substantial shooting of the film can take place at one time without lengthy breaks to ensure the actor maintains an erection.”
Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network; Falcon Studios & Raging Stallion Studios; Data Tech Ventures LLC; and Datatech Enterprises LLC c/o Falcon Entertainment and Datatech Systems LLC are the defendants named in Baker’s case.
“After months of refusing directions and pressure by his employer to inject models with TriMix, plaintiff followed the directions of his employer and injected TriMix into a model’s penis,” the complaint continues. “While replacing the cap on the syringe, the tip of the syringe pierced the cap and plaintiff’s thumb.”

The model Baker injected said he was HIV-negative, but Baker immediately washed his hands after exposure and later tested negative for HIV and hepatitis C. However, upon learning that the TriMix arrived in the mail without a prescription, Baker refused to continue administering the injections and hired a lawyer. The defendants then stopped paying Baker’s wages and healthcare benefits.
Baker’s suit alleges that the actors were not screened for any sexually transmitted infections nor were there any measures in place to prevent or respond to exposure to blood-borne pathogens:
“Defendants required its employees to perform injections when they have no skill, training, licensure or special knowledge to perform such injections. They are not medical professionals and no medical professionals are on site at the time such injections are being performed. It is significant that defendants required its employees to perform injections in the penises of models engaged in pornography in which the employer does not know the HIV or hepatitis status of the models injected. Such conduct is startling given that the models are engaging in sexual conduct at the behest of the employer to shoot pornographic films for profit.”
Ronald Baker is seeking punitive damages for wrongful termination, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and violations of the business, professions and Labor Codes.

The studios should probably have paid this guy off. If he can prove his claims they seem to be in for a huge legal mess.

Why? There are a lot of jobs that require people to give injections, and as far as I can tell it’s legal. Is it different here because the injectees are sexually active? I think the lesson here is don’t take a job where you don’t want to do the duties.

@RomanHans: How many legal jobs require people to inject prescription medications where no prescription exists?
Employers cannot legally fire someone for not performing duties that are against the law.

@hyhybt: You’re saying a nurse or doctor’s aide has the right to ignore any orders they receive until they’re provided with proof that it’s legal?

I’m confused. What exactly was his job description when he was hired? This sounds like hi-tech 21st century fluffing to me. If he didn’t like the job he should have quit.

@Cam: You’re right! A settlement might have kept this shameful secret of the porn industry under wraps. Who knew that porn stars needed injections so they can keep their erections [actually I did] so that ever longer films are possible? It sort of takes all the magic out of it.

@RomanHans: They’re following doctors order, therefore it would be a legal prescription…right? o.o

@RomanHans: Nothing so specific, nor is that the same as this case. Knowing something is not being done legally is very different than insisting for no obvious reason that something seemingly ordinary be proved legal before doing it.
Requiring employees to do illegal acts in order to keep their jobs is, itself, illegal on top of the lawbreaking you’re trying to make them do.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I knew Falcon, Raging Stallions and ALL the rest DO NOT screen models for HIV. The same goes (my belief) for the bareback twink studios as well. I also DO NOT believe these guys are being paid more than $1 grand per scene.
The availablity of absolutely FREE gay porn on the internet has not only driven down rates for the performers at the top studios but (obviously, based on this guys claim) has made top studios rethink paying extra for STD and HIV testing as well. A few weeks ago I was on a free porn site and saw a FULL clip from Machofucker. The performers were latino, hot and barebacking. However, the LONGER I looked at one of the performers the more I began to wonder if this guy (and he WAS HOT TOO) had second stage syphyllis. There were blister like bumps across his cute bubble butt. He was golden showered (in his mouth), creampied (in his cute bubble butt) and fisted. It was HOT.
I know you can not be sure until a medical test is performed but this article confirms my suspicion. I have seen this kid (he doesn’t look a day over 22 at best) in other clips and each time he looks more and more haggard. I have no doubt the situation with bareback thug performers is even worse than it is with bareback white performers.
This guy should have been paid off, big time. His position alone makes what he is saying VERY CREDIBLE. And the stories he could tell about the studios and performers in the gay porn industry WILL make him a millionaire with a no doubt, soon to be published tell all book. I will be waiting in line to get this book.

@RomanHans:
Only in some very specific situations can a nurse give medication to anyone with out a medical doctor’s order ( verbal or written ) to a patient. Even then if the nurse feels that dose or how the medicaiton is not correct, they can hold the medicaiton until clarification has been made.
