Those Adult Video Performer Contracts Options

[Critter]

We posted a blog entry titled Marriage Prostitution and Contracts for Sex some time ago that discussed how the fine line separating Marriage from Prostitution was getting even finer (as a result of legal cases like Anna Nicole Smith and the Brent Corrigan/Bryan Kocis affair). Now, of course, as a result of the Bryan Kocis Murder Scandal, everybody is talking about contracts for sex, specifically contracts that Adult Video Producers sign with their performers.

The Bryan Kocis/Brent Corrigan Saga essentially started out as a desire by Sean Lockhart/Brent Corrigan to break away from Bryan Kocis/Cobra Video and produce his own work and/or to work for other Adult Video Companies.

It is our understanding that even The Georgetown Law Journal has weighed in on Adult Video Industry Performance Contracts. The Georgetown Law Journal article is more about the State of California in that it allegedly (we still can't access the file) argues that if California is going to reap so many rewards from the Adult Video Industry being concentrated in California, then California should then recognize Adult Video Performance Contracts as legal.

Most of the people debating this issue are just declaring that Adult Video Performance Contracts are illegal because Contracts for Sex are illegal. This is not entirely correct.

Not All Contracts for Sex Are Illegal. Marriage is a Contract for Sex and marriage is legal. Also, Prostitution is legal in some counties in the US. There is legal prostitution in some counties in Nevada.

If you doubt that Marriage is legally recognized as a contract for sex, consider this:

1. One partner to a marriage can have the marriage declared VOID if the other partner refuses to provide sex.

2. One partner to a marriage can sue OTHER PEOPLE if other people do something to a spouse that results in the spouse being unable to provide the partner with sex. We read a news article some years ago that claimed that former Adult Video Performer Jack Wagner was suing someone for doing something that resulted in injury to his much older wife. Wagner (as we recall) charged that his spouse was unable to perform as a result of the injury.

3. Most domestic partners contracts (by states and cities) DEFINE domestic partners as two people who are INTIMATE.

With respect to Adult Video Industry Performance contracts, if the Producers want the contracts to be valid and enforceable, they need only have the contracts signed and the performances performed in a county in Nevada in which prostitution is legal.

Splitting Hairs

There are so many LITTLE THINGs about the Bryan Kocis Murder Scandal that are bound to make a lot of people in the legal profession squirm (or to at least be glad that they are not the judge or the prosecutor for the Harlow Cuadra/Joe Kerekes murder trial).

1. We pointed out already that while Cuadra and Kerekes are charged with stealing and destroying Cobra Video's MASTER TAPEs, some of those tapes were pulled from the market, allegedly because and underaged boy was in them. So, THE STATE could be in the position of arguing before a Jury that Cuadra and Kerekes stole and destroyed KIDDIE PORN that the Victim had produced and that was still in the Victim's possession.

2. THE MOTIVE The State has set forth to date is that Cuadra and Kerekes killed Kocis to free Brent Corrigan from his CONTRACT with Cobra Video. Well, as we discussed, Adult Video Industry Performance Contracts are void and unenforceable if they were intended as contracts for sex. So, THE STATE would be arguing before a Jury that Cuadra and Kerekes killed Bryan Kocis because Kocis was trying to legally FORCE Brent Corrigan to comply with the terms and conditions of AN ILLEGAL CONTRACT FOR SEX.

The above are just two of many many reasons why we don't think there will ever be a trial for Cuadra and Kerekes. We think Luzerne County will throw everything it has into getting Cuadra and Kerekes to plead guilty to something (specially since the Current DA of Luzerne County is running for Judge in the November Elections). If there is a trial for Cuadra and Kerekes, it should be video taped and presented as a Comedy Show at Law Schools around the country. No Judge and No Prosecutor in Luzerne County is going to walk way from a Murder Trial for Cuadra and Kerekes WITHOUT becoming the laughing Stock of the Country.

THE HAIR SPLITTING with respect to the "CONTRACT" between Bryan Kocis and Brent Corrigan is that the Kocis Sympathizers are claiming that Kocis TECHNICALLY sued Corrigan for trademark infringement and fraud. However, THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT that ended the lawsuit Kocis filed Against Corrigan et. al. allegedly calls for Corrigan to appear in X number of new Videos for Cobra Video. So, it should be clear to even the simpliest of minds that BRYAN KOCIS's INTENT when he sued Corrigan in Federal Court was to FORCE Corrigan to perform gay sex acts in more Cobra Videos (i.e., Bryan Kocis' intent in suing Corrigan in Federal Court was to force Corrigan to comply with the terms and conditions of an illegal contract for sex).

Freaking The Freak Out of The Freak Show Trial

Now, take a deep breath, there is even more FREAK to this Freak Show.

Someone CLAIMING to be CLOSE to Brent Corrigan has claimed on a number of messageboards that the Cointract Bryan Kocis had Brent Corrigan signed called for Brent Corrigan being Bryan Kocis' LOVER. If THAT ain't' a contract for sex, then there ain't no such thing as a contract for sex.
