TRUCKSVILLE, Pa. — Two gay porn actors will go to trial on charges they murdered a rival porn executive.Judge James E. Tupper ruled that, based on the testimony of 14 witnesses during a two-day hearing, there was enough evidence against Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes for both men to go to trial. They are charged with murdering Cobra Video executive and gay porn kingpin Bryan Kocis.
"It sucks," Harlow Cuadra said to reporters when asked how he felt as he left the courtroom. "I didn't do it. I didn't kill that man."
But police say Cuadra and Kerekes killed Kocis because of a dispute involving actor Sean Lockhart, known in the adult film industry as Brent Corrigan.
Police say Cuadra, 25, and Kerekes, 33, went to Kocis' Dallas, Pa., home Jan. 24 and slashed his throat, damn near decapitating him. After he was dead, they stabbed him 28 times and burned his body and home to hide the crime, according to police documents.
Kocis' body was found that night by firefighters responding to the fire. Police acuse Cuadra and Kerekes of gaining access to the porn executive's home by tricking him into thinking Cuadra was a new model who was interested in making a movie for Cobra Video.
Both men continued to assert their innocence as they were led separately out of the courtroom flanked by state police officers.
"I was never in that house, and I intend to get an expert to prove that," Kerekes said.
During the hearing, prosecutors showed nearly 40 gruesome photos of Kocis' body and the wounds he sustained. We will bring them to you when made public, just something your begging to see Im sure.
They also showed a surveillance video of both men in a gun store, where Cuadra purchased a gun and a knife, as well as semi-nude photos prosecutors say Cuadra e-mailed to Kocis. A state police captain testified the knife purchased could be capable of killing Kocis and inflicting the wounds he sustained.
Grant Roy, an adult film producer who knew both Cuadra and Kerekes, recounted a taped conversation he had with both men at a nude beach called Black's Beach in San Diego, Calif. on April 28.
