The big gay news last week was the extortion trial of Teofil Brank.  You remember Teofil, aka gay porn star Jarec Wentworth.  He’s the guy who was blackmailing MagicJack founder Donald Burns.  Teofil/Jarec was found guilty on all six counts after a rather short two-hour deliberation, and will be sentenced in September.  But far more interesting to me was Burns’ testimony about his extensive history of hiring porn stars.  No judgment there – I’m sure many of us would do the same thing.  But Don claims to have hired guys every few weeks for solo or group sessions, paid them hundreds/thousands of dollars, and then sent them away – often by plane.  These included Sean Cody stars Willis, Arthur, Miles/Aidan, among others.

Then there’s Taylor/Justin Matthews/Justin Griggs.  During his testimony, he was questioned about having some “dental work” paid for by Burns.  Taylor/Justin said, “That wasn’t from Don….that was from another friend of mine.”  In an earlier interview, the FBI revealed that Taylor/Justin was hesitant about sharing “details about an individual because he was very powerful and you fear for the safety if you disclose information”.  On the stand, Taylor/Justin revealed that the other “friend” was David Geffen.  And we know how fond he is of “dental work”.
