Jeffrey Hurant admitted in federal court in Brooklyn that he broke the law by promoting “the exchange of sexual conduct in return for a fee” on his Rentboy.com site.

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have dismissed charges against six employees of rentboy.com.
Jeffrey Hurant issued a statement following today’s hearing, “I was not alone as I faced the frightening judicial juggernaut.”
In the ongoing, frivolous and egregious prosecution of former Rentboy CEO Jeffrey Hurant, a federal grand jury today officially indicted Hurant, signaling that any effort at a plea deal in his case may have failed, or been ignored.
Former Rentboy CEO and founder Jeffrey Hurant has raised over $30,000 in this crowdfunding campaign for his legal defense, however that is only 12 percent of the $250,000 he expects to need if he goes to trial.
He hasn’t made any statements, at the urging of his lawyers, since the Rentboy raid in August and the federal indictments, but now former Rentboy CEO Jeffrey Hurant has spoken out via Facebook.
We have been following the legal soap opera of the RentBoy case and its former CEO, Jeffrey Hurant, since the website was first seized in August of 2105. Charges were ultimate dropped against the “RentBoy Six” and as we reported on Friday, Jeffrey Hurant reached a plea deal.
The latest in the Rentboy case/scandal is that five of the employees who were among the seven people indicted are seeking plea deals.
Hello, friends. We interrupt this regularly scheduled program (my initial plan to write a second piece on porn shoots that go wrong) to speak on the topic of the recent Rentboy scandal that we were all buzzing about at the end of August.
As you know, the big topic in the gay porn universe this past week has been the federal raid on Rentboy.com in New York, and the arrest of six of its employees as well as CEO and founder Jeffrey Hurant. Now, porn industry advocacy group the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has issued a statement calling the raid “not only a …
Even if you are not a current or former sex worker, or if you have never hired a sex worker, or if you have never met a sex worker, you should be angry that the U.S. government descended this week on a gay-owned business that has been operating respectably and profitably for two decades, all because sex work is still …
Everyone Should Be Outraged About the Rentboy Raid, And Here’s Why Read More »
The gay community, especially the sex-worker community, remains flabbergasted about yesterday’s federal raid of Rentboy.com.
The thinking man’s gay porn star, Colby Keller, has been brought in by Rentboy.com despite the fact that he’s never been a rentboy himself to judge a new scholarship contest/program that Rentboy is doing specifically to help send their sex workers to college.
Rentboy.com has just launched their Pride campaign, which is dubbed “Love What I Do,” and the first featured Rentboy is the Hookie Award winner for Best Newcomer, trans man Viktor Belmont.
Well this is fun: Star magazine is trying to out Brad Pitt today as a secret bisexual, saying Angelina Jolie knows all about Brad’s proclivities, and that Brad has some especially picky taste when it comes to the dudes he wants to fuck.
Like it? (Don’t forget, you can still help The Sword hire James Jamesson.)
I want to play with James Jamesson’s beard, but I don’t have $300. Help?
Jake Lyons’ proposal to work for a straight porn studio apparently didn’t work out, because now he’s taken his case to Rentboy. And by case, I mean basket case.
If you saw the last post on Big Eddie, you know what you’re in for if you continue reading.
Our national nightmare continues: “…because our offices are located in a blackout zone we are currently without phone service to answer your calls. We really appreciate your patience as we work to restore these services as quickly as we can. Current estimates predict that we will have service restored to our offices on Monday November 5th, 2012. Estimates for the …

“…Please be patient during this national emergency.” Rentboy tweets. As if this national tragedy couldn’t get any worse, it’s now day 3 without the New York-based escort service, thanks to Sandy. And it’s not just down in New York–the power outage has taken Rentboy’s servers down, meaning the site won’t load anywhere. How much money are the world’s hookers losing …
That Brent Corrigan Rentboy ad that first was real and then was fake and then was proven real again has shaken the entire gay adult industry (and the entire world, honestly) to its core. But perhaps the one INNOCENT VICTIM in the entire saga who has been unnecessarily dragged through the mud in the comments section of this blog was …
Male Madame David Forest Vs. Rentboy Vs. Brent Corrigan: Who’s Telling The Truth? Read More »
Rentboy has just announced the first few models and personalities who will be appearing at this year’s Hustlaball in New York, and they include Brent Everett, Christopher Daniels, Chi Chi LaRue, and Sister Roma. Also on the list is Rentboy Brayden Forrester who, surprisingly, hasn’t ever done gay porn. Should he?
That Brent Corrigan Rentboy ad that looked pretty real, even though Brent Corrigan himself wrote that it was in fact the work of an “impostor,” actually was real, according to Rentboy. And Rentboy has proof.
It looked real (and it had his real phone number), but there can only be one Brent Corrigan, and he’s not on Rentboy. An email obtained by The Sword from Brent Corrigan/Sean Lockhart to talent manager David Forest: The ad is an impostor – someone who knows me or has my number has added it. I am working on getting …
Unless someone created a fake profile (with a real phone number), here is Brent Corrigan’s Rentboy ad.
Do you have any advice for “Josh,” who would like to be a hooker?
Jayden Grey was bored enough to tweet about a client who hired him as escort, and now I’m bored enough to write about it. And by “write” I mean dump screenshots of his tweets and embed videos of his client below. I hope this client doesn’t mind!
He fucked an “old, stinky, wrinkly” man he met online because sometimes it’s hard to say no at the door. Driving home, he decided that the next time he fucked a gross old man, he was going to get paid.
We’d give grundle-jobs to eleven out of the twelve men below — and if we paid them, they’d let us. That’s the beauty of rentboy’s annual calendar. Here’s your first look.
This year’s annual Rentboy.com Pool Party was attended by a sprinkling of porn stars, a couple of hotties, a slew of daddies fresh from an ATM run and a whole bunch of boys whom we’re sure have really nice personalities.
The gay escort business is not only surviving the recession — it’s actually expanding. A new escort site called RentMen.com is nipping at theels of the industry standard, Rentboy.com, by offering special features like video interviews with available escorts.
