This week’s Ask Billy question came from Mark in Boston.  “I just heard that gay porn star Drake Von was arrested for attempting to strangle his partner in Las Vegas.  Is it true?  And could you post his mugshot?

TMZ first reported that Von (real name Dawson Bacon) was arrested in Las Vegas on June 3^rd.  When the accuser was identified, we learned she’s a female named Quinn!  She claims to have blacked out after Von “restricted her breathing”.  She says he slammed her to the ground and told her to get on her knees and beg if she really wanted her phone back (sounds like he confused her with one of his on-screen sexual partners).  Somehow, she escaped and called 911.  A video of Von’s arrest has emerged.  While an officer cuffs him and places him in the back of the patrol car, they casually discuss their favorite performers at the EDC – an electronic dance music festival that took place in Vegas weeks earlier.  Drake was charged with felony domestic battery by strangulation, felony coercion constituting domestic violence, and misdemeanor domestic battery.  He was held on a bond of $25,246.  After being released, Drake said, “All allegations are false, charges will be dropped, and it was all a misunderstanding.”  He later said, “I’m very good mentally.  This was all a publicity stunt.”  Giving credence to the “publicity stunt” angle is a photo Quinn posted of herself bent over and dressed as a cop with Von behind her in an orange jump suit.  Have we all been had?  Check out the photos and videos on BillyMasters.com.

When someone is able to pull the wool over Harvey Levin’s eyes, it’s time for me to end yet another column.  At least I had the good sense to be skeptical!  For more in-depth reporting, check out BillyMasters.com – the site that’s got a whole lotta allegations but not a single conviction.  If you need me to run a background check on anyone, drop a note to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before Drake Von is named Grand Marshal of some city’s Pride Parade!  Until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
