Sidebar: Cliff’s Notes on The Bryan Kocis Murder

Barely being the key word for Cobra’s #1 star (and Kocis’ occasional lover) Brent Corrigan: Actually he wasn’t even close to legal when he filmed his first four movies for Cobra including the wildly successful Every Poolboy’s Dream.

At some point in 2005 something went sour between Corrigan and Kocis. Corrigan filed a report with the FBI stating he was underage when he worked for Cobra, and claiming that Kocis was aware of it. From here, things get really ugly (and complicated) between Kocis and Corrigan from here: The two sue and counter-sue each other for breach of contract and both laying claim to the name “Brent Corrigan.” The four Cobra movies featuring an underage Corrigan are pulled off the shelves and many in the gay adult industry fear larger repercussions.

Corrigan stars in Velvet Mafia in September 2006, but Falcon bills him as “Fox Ryder” to avoid legal entanglements with Bryan Kocis. In December, both Corrigan and Kocis allude settling things between each other and hint that they’re going to start a company together. In January, 2007, Brent and his boyfriend Grant Roy (who is around the same age as Kocis) are seen at the AVN Expo in Vegas with Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes—two aspiring amateur porn producers who run an escort service out of their home in West Virginia. Cuadra/Kerekes want to collaborate with Corrigan on a movie, but has concerns about Kocis.

On January 20, Harlow purchased a background check on Kocis (paying with his Discover card). Credit card records would also show that over the next few days Harlow would rent an SUV, and buy a gun and knife in a pawnshop near their house in Virginia Beach and check into a motel near Kocis’ house. Four days later, on January 24, Kocis was stabbed to death and his house was set on fire. An SUV was seen leaving the house shortly before the fire broke out. The next day Cuadra returns the his SUV to the car rental—it has over 1,000 miles on it (a few hundred more than a round trip from their house in West Virginia to Kocis’ in Pennsylvania).

A week later, police recovered a picture on Kocis’ computer of a model he was supposed to meet at the time he was murdered. The model was identified a few days later as Cuadra, who claimed to have been with a client the night of the murder. In April, police electronically record a two meetings between Corrigan, Roy, Cuadra and Kerekes, where they talk about the murder. Three weeks later, Cuadra and Kerekes are arrested for the murder, where they currently still are on trial and could face the death penalty.
