Arrest in Porn Producer's Murder
Intrigue, lust and greed

This blog has previously reported on the murder of gay erotica producer Bryan Kocis. Two men, Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes have been arrested for the brutal murder and details are coming out that ought to make this the biggest story in gay porndom.

As the story goes the two men ran a competing porn web site and also ran an male prostitution service.

These two wannabes went to a gay porn convention where they met the porn actor Sean Lockhart, a.k.a. Brent Corrigan. They wanted to make a film with Corrigan but at the time Corrigan was in a messy contract dispute with Kocis. He had signed a contract with Kocis and the name “Brent Corrigan” belonged to Kocis not to Lockhart. Lockhart had continued to use the Corrigan name and was in legal hotwater over it. So he was reluctant to make a film with the pair.

But they had a suggestion. Cuadra said to Lockhart: “What if Bryan left the country?” Lockhart complained that the man would only return so it was useless. Then Kerekes explained to him: “Harlow knows someone who would do anything for him.” Now it was clear. And just a short time later Kocis had been brutally murdered.

The two men and Lockhart met again in California and spent the day at a nude beach where Cuadra admitted he was in the Kocis house at the time of the murder. Cuadra told Lockhart: “Don’t worry, he [Kocis] went quick.” Lockhart’s blog only says: “I have been advised by my attorneys and law enforcement officials in charge of the investigation not to make public comments or statements regarding this very sad and senseless crime.”


Cuadra apparently sent emails to Kocis using a psuedonym asking for an interview to do modeling for his company. And this is how he and Kerekes gained entry. After the killing Cuadra apparently called Lockhart and suggested he check out a news website reporting on the murder. Lockhart did and Cuadra told him: “I guess my guy went overboard.” Supposedly Lockhart became upset by this.
