Joshua Noles, aka Sebastian Young, the long-time gay adult film performer and convicted sex offender, was shot dead by police on Wednesday following a high-speed car chase south of Jacksonville, Florida. Noles, who was armed, eventually crashed his car into a parked, empty school bus, resulting in a shootout with police that took his life. He was 37 years old.
According to the St. John’s County Sheriff’s office, and reported by adult blog SUGP (link work un-friendly, but you’re probably working from home today anyway), Noles kicked off the pursuit when he failed to stop during a traffic infraction.

Instead, he led officers on a high-speed chase that included driving into oncoming traffic, bursting through fences onto private property and driving across residents’ yards. After he finally crashed into the bus, he fled his car with a handgun and started firing at officers. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Noles worked for several gay adult studios over the years, though his career came to a definitive halt after his last stint in prison, when studios refused to hire him back.
That could have something to do with the fact that he spent two years in prison for assaulting an elderly person over the age of 65, or his nearly dozen arrests involving sex offenses and drug, DUI, burglary, domestic abuse and traffic charges.

I use to watch all his videos he was at least good at getting me off. So sad he couldn’t get his life together.

This guy was always going to end up like this. You can’t blame porn. His life was just one long rap sheet from a very young age. And these weren’t just minor offensives. What he did to his 5 year old daughter is inhumane. I don’t ever wish people dead or celebrate their passing. I won’t in this case either but I will say I’m not sure many will shed a tear now that he’s gone. Maybe his parents or siblings if they were ever involved in his life.

Well said, jayceecook.

When we first interviewed Sebastian at Jet Set I was a lone voice of descent on hiring him. He had a tear tattoo under his eye. I had read that that means that person murdered someone. They hired him anyway. I worked with him on my Code Violators movie and found him to be talented, fun and agreeable…and yes sexy.
I ran into him on numerous times out in public and found a very nice person each time. I was sad to read stories that came out about him during that time. I believe he got damaged in some way when he was younger. I wish he could have gotten the help he needed to have a good life. Oddly, I will miss him.

There’s a good chance that perhaps the majority of porn performers have had childhood traumas and face some psychological strife. One of the issues with the adult entertainment industry is that it preys on poverty, psychological struggles, drug addictions, confusions, internalized homophobia, self-resentment, self-destructive instincts and general insecurities. But ultimately, the dude did an array of horrible things, some of which are unforgivable.

@Donston
I don’t see how you could be insecure with yourself and make a living off taking your clothes off for others to masturbate to. They just see the easy money and many are just too immature to understand what they’re getting themselves into.

@Drew, thank you for being a real person here and standing up for him in the way that you have just done. I’m sure some of the ones that do nothing but whine and complain about everyone else would like to have you as a friend one day when others are bad mouthing them in some way and to defend them as well to say something good about them. Like you are doing for Sebastian there even everyday people like him has problems and many don’t get help that they need to get healed or work towards it and allow themselves to get worse. Thank Drew.

Chrisk, some are just desperate for money. They’re ex-cons or just extremely lazy men who see easy money. But most folks who enter the porn industry and stick with it for a while seem to already have some hardcore issues. Most of the time they try to use the industry to give them more confidence or give them a greater sense of self or make them feel more accepted and like they belong somewhere. But after a while their issues typically come to the forefront. “Gay media” has spent so many years trying to paint the porn industry as something hot and fun, while not at all covering the industry’s abundance in drug addictions, mental health problems, internalized homophobia/gay shame. Never mind the ton of insecurities so many of these performers seem to have. People are just now starting to recognize how pervasive those things are in the industry. Most folks who enter are already “damaged”, but porn doesn’t make it any better.

@ChrisK………..a perfect example as to how sex, porn and drugs can destroy you easily is Matthew Rush. He was the black guy that every white porn company (Falcon, Mustang, etc) was looking for to quell the uproar of their refusal to hire black models. It was around 2000 or so he made his debut as the non-threatening black guy (the Will Smith of porn if you will) whom could be starred with whatever white guy who would appear with him. Tristan Paris has a hot orgy scene with him. The problem began when he started being “kept” by many wealthy white guys whom $1k per week in spending money meant nothing to them. Why work or worry about a future when you face and butthole is securing it (or so he thought). He had a meteoric fall when he returned to porn as a bottom and even started doing scenes with black guys. Sadly there was the smoking gun he had hit bottom.

The porn stars you are referring to are the ones you hear about. As a person who was in the porn industry for 24 years I can tell you that porn stars have gone on to be psychologists, nurses, TV real estate moguls and a host of other “respectable” professionals. People do porn for many reasons. I have run across everyone from super dumb to super smart. 90% of the people involved in the industry are serious about their work. It is run like a business and (most) employers do not lure and coerce people into the industry. They do hire people just like your employer has hired you and doesn’t get into your choices outside of work anymore than your employer does on your job. The porn industry does not want an employee (porn actors) to show up on drugs. It makes the whole day harder for all involved. Just because you hear the dirt doesn’t mean this represents the larger industry. If you respond to me in a negative way, please state that you have first hand knowledge of the Adult industry otherwise you are just guessing.

On a side note, there was another actor in Code Violators that had attempted to murder an older couple in Florida a year of two after I made that movie.

I don’t think I’ve ever said this about a person before: I’m glad he’s dead.

I just read the writeup on SUGP (link above), he was pure criminal, head to toe. He should have spent his life in prison. Read that link, it goes directly to it.

I met Josh a few weeks ago. He messaged me to tell me he was going to end it all a few days before he died. I’m sure he reached out to other people too. I wish I had been able to help him. He would not have meant to hurt anyone but I think he got the outcome he was hoping for. He didn’t lie, he kept telling me what a bad guy he was the entire time we spent together – but all I saw was how bad he was hurt by the world. I hope he’s found some peace now.
jay523
I am really so sad. I could do anything to help him if they don’t kill him. Joshua is a nice guy and I really love him. R.I.P.
