The saga involving Sean Cody stud Jarec Wentworth (AKA Teofil Brank) and closeted Republican millionaire Donald Burns has finally reached its dramatic conclusion.
Yesterday, Wentworth was sentenced to nearly six years behind bars after being found guilty of extorting the tech tycoon for more than $1.5 million back in July. He was also ordered to pay Burns nearly $500,000 in restitution.
Considering he was facing a potential 53 years in prison, we have to say 70-months ain’t so bad.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
According to court documents, 25-year-old Wentworth and 51-year-old Burns first met back in 2013. They engaged in a “pay-for-sex encounter” at least four times, with Burns paying between $1,500 and $2,000 for each encounter. He also paid Wentworth a finder’s fee for introducing him to other attractive younger men.
Things soured earlier this year, however, when Wentworth began threatening to expose Burns if he didn’t fork over $500,000, give him a $180,000 car, and buy him a $1 million luxury condo.
In his testimony last summer, Burns said he was “scared to the core” over what Wentworth might do to retaliate against him.
Wentworth’s lawyer, Seema Ahmad, maintains that her client did not extort the businessman, but only wanted to expose “what happened to him” and collect what he believed Burns owed him.
“He wanted what was promised him,” Ahmad said in court.

Mr Brank should have accepted the plea offer before the trial. Probably 2 to 3 years incarceration.
Georgie Land
Clearly out of proportion to the crime! Repug murderers and embezzlers get away with everything or are given derisory sentences. Shameful.
Dieter Michaels
and not a single F*ck was given on this day…..

But Dennis Hastert virtually skates with an underage victim, and a deal that seals the disgusting details. Now tell me some more about “equal justice under law.”
Victor Barry
Good.
Brian JC Kneeland
and what did the millionaire get for his lies?

These THOTS always get greedy.. see you later alligator..

6 years seems excessive to me, I can’t imagine he’ll do the full sentence. At the end of the day, nothing really happened…some rentboy-obsessed slob almost lost a chunk of change and Jarec almost got a condo. It’s not even like Jarec threatened the guy’s life, he just threatened his precious reputation. Why do we cater so much to the wealthy in the judicial system? He’s being charged as though this were armed robbery- it wasn’t. It was a tiff between hooker and john over petty material items and reputation, this crime is so inconsequential and 1%, it’s absolutely ridiculous. What Donald Burns was doing wasn’t legal either, you lie with dogs and you get fleas- not spoon-fed sympathy because you made a career out of being a hypocrite and don’t want to get exposed. I have no sympathy for that man, it seems to me that he uses his wealth to acquire power over men who are otherwise unattainable and as soon as there’s an imbalance of power, hurt feelings is suddenly a crime against humanity.
If you expect to BUY human beings as though they were cattle, you deserve the shocking revelation that they can be just as ruthless as you are.

Ever notice it’s always these really cute skinny people that are the most craziest? When was the last time you seen “hot bear escort murders people or extorts millions?” I swear it’s like the hotter you are, the more of a psycho you are

He deserves that much time. Extortion is a serious crime. And talk about overpaid! These hustlers must love closeted Republicans!
Bob LaBlah
If you got it, flaunt it. I think he would have gotten a better deal on men had he went to the bathhouse on a Friday or Saturday night and simply waited for the clubs to close. He would have gotten the same guys for free, trust me.
But as I said, if you got it, flaunt it.
Richard Holaday
Ha! Ha! ð???
alphacentauri
Meh he’s some bottom feeder criminal that’s a male prostitute so I’m not surprised he’s in prison for six years.
Eric Vidal
Amen Dieter!!ð??ð??
Derek Perron
That’s about 4 years too many.
Arcamenel
It’s more than appropriate to me.
Czahn Armstrong
He’ll bottom like a champion in the klink.
Jacob Owen Burger
They is way too much! Just read an article about a sheriff that got 4 years for sexually assaulting a 8 year old!!! Our nation’s justice system is so behind the times it is insane!
Mx. Truvada Amour
They are gonna pass Miss Jarec around like dinner rolls.
Steven Zumbrun
Another Sean Cody model (“Addison”) is in the clink for murder.

Here’s hoping he gets released sooner. He did the crime, and no matter how much enjoyment he’s given me through his porn work and how much the millionaire seemed like a scum bag, he has to do the time.

Harsh sentence. Homophobia played a role no doubt.
GayEGO
Bwahahahahahahahahaha! What would you expect from a sneaky, closeted Republican? But regardless, prostitution is prostitution regardless of gender. In this day and age, Burns can come out as gay to nullify Sean’s threat, but Burns should pay for Sean’s service.
Ben Aensland Cote
Evil and greed are universal.
Danny Adams II
I think what he did was wrong, but the sentence seems a little harsh.
vbnudeguy
The sentence is pretty extreme for extortion however he did commit a crime so he needs to be held accountable for it. I’m sure the closeted guy is a pretty big douche but he’ll get off easy since he’s rich.

@Doughosier: to Doug and all the others here who think 6 years is okay, think about the following: crimes against children are often given far less then 6 years. I happen to think there are many more important things the Federal government should be spending time & money on instead of helping a rich man keep ahold of his money. Mr. Burns chose to consort with escorts – and I have no doubt he made promises. But even if not, I hardly think his life was in danger in his gated mansion with tip top security. And what prison time was HE sentenced to for engaging with prostitutes? Isn’t being a customer illegal too?
BGinBigD
So Miss Jarec “Only wanted what was promised him”. Sure bitch, if only they had handed him down his full 50 plus year sentence, then he would have received what was coming to him. She’ll be trying to extort anything she can in prison to keep from becoming the Bottom Bitch she is destined to be. Enjoy!!
