Come and see the gay adult movie celebrity Brent Corrigan, tonight at 6pm at Park Street Books, Level 2/44 Park Street Sydney. Famous adult industry entertainers JJ Knight, Chi Chi LaRue and Sister Roma will all be there to. This article will look into Brent Corrigan’s controversial relationship with Bryan Charles Kocis his first employer at Cobra Videos.
Sean Paul Lockhart (Brent Corrigan) was born on the 31st of October in 1986 in Lewiston, Idaho. He is one of four siblings. He has an older brother, a younger brother and a sister. They were raised in the suburb of Mill Creek near Seattle, Washington by his mother and stepfather. His mother and stepfather divorced when he was aged 8 to 9 years old. He took care of his younger brother and sister until he moved back to his mother’s home in San Diego, California.
July 2003 was a period when he came to terms with his sexuality. When he was aged 16, he spent his weekends in Los Angeles with his first boyfriend who was older than him. His boyfriend introduced him to the ‘fast, furious and out of control side of the gay scene’. When Lockhart was 17 years old, he felt he was down on money and searched for career prospects. His boyfriend introduced him into the gay adult movie industry and arranged an audition for him in his own bedroom via webcam. The boyfriend controlled the camera while the director and owner of Cobra Video observed.
In 2004, Bryan Charles Kocis who is also known as Bryan Philips employed Sean Paul Lockhart to star in Cobra Video’s gay adult movies. Sean was given the stage name “Brent Corrigan”. Brent agreed to perform in an adult movie with the Cobra Video owner. He would star in six action adult movie scenes and one non-action adult movie scene. The screening set was a used Volkswagen Jetta with a set of tires and rims. The cost of the production included transportation, vehicle insurance and gasoline. A sexual relationship developed between Lockhart and the director.
He used a fake ID to bypass the legal law to star in them. Cobra Videos claimed that Brent Corrigan’s birth date on his license stated that he was born in 1985 and they were not aware that he was underage. Cobra Videos and Brent Corrigan were then involved in a civil lawsuit to sort out the matter which was planned for the 21st of February in 2007. Bryan Kocis than made a counter claim that stated any use of Brent Corrigans name would be a copyright infringement. Throughout the years Brent Corrigan starred in six movies including Every Poolboy’s Dream, Schoolboy Crush, Bareboned Twinks and Casting Couch 4. During the lawsuit they were all called off the shelves even though there was no reason for them to be removed.
On the 24th of January in 2007 Bryan Kocis was discovered dead from a fire at his Dallas Township, Pennsylvania home. He was only 44 years old. A coroner examined the Bryan Kocis body and found that he suffered 28 stabbed wounds to his body and his throat was cut nearly to the point of decapitating him. It appeared that his body was within the house before it was on fire. His face and body were burned pass recognition so his dental records were used to identify him. The local residents in Pennsylvania were frightened to find out that a murder had happened so close by and they had no idea that Bryan Kocis ran Cobra Videos directly from his home that had also hired underage men.
On the 15th of May in 2007, information was found on Bryan Kocis’s computer that had survived the fire. It implicated that two Virginia Beach escorts were former models, Harlow Cuadra and lover Joseph Kerekes were involved in his murder. It was said that the escorts wanted to build their own gay adult movie company and employ Brent Corrigan to star in their movies.
On the 8th of December in 2008, Joseph Kerekes confessed to second-degree murder alongside a string of other offences that included the creation of false evidence and criminal conspiracy. Harlow Cuadra said that he was not guilty of any of these offences. They were sentenced to life in jail without parole.
During Harlow Cuadra’s murder trial it was claimed that Brent Corrigan was bound by contract to Cobra Video’s to continue to perform sex acts for their gay adult movies in exchange for payment. This lawsuit opened a discussion worldwide about problems within employment contracts in the adult entertainment industry.
In 2012, Magnus Books distributed the novel “Cobra Killer” by authors Andrew E. Stoner and Peter A. Conway on the murder of Bryan Kocis. Within the book they explain how and why Brent Corrigan had helped the law enforcement by recording interactions he had with Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes which had helped the criminal case become solved. The story was made into a mainstream movie named “King Cobra” which was released in 2016 at the Tribeca Film Festival. The movie notably stared Garrett Clayton, James Franco, Christian Slater and Alicia Silverstone.
Brent Corrigan had decided to bring out his own book on the murder of Bryan Kocis and stated:
“Ultimately, I chose to move forward with my own plans to finally release my book in place of taking part in someone else’s presentation of events that I personally lived as a young adult. It’s going to be an exciting coming year! The book is nearly finished and is now going through edits and rewrites. Even with the time that has passed, the memories are still very real and raw for me.”
