![]() They contact Lockhart and his manager, Grant Roy, and the four eventually meet in Las Vegas to discuss the deal while they are all there for an adult entertainment convention. So Joe and Harlow draw up an ambitious new blueprint for fame and fortune: Get the hottest name in gay porn, Sean Lockhart - stage name "Brent Corrigan" - to star in their movies. "And it was a mountain of debt that was going to fall in on them because they weren't able to generate enough income over time to pay all those bills," said Stoner. But their movies weren't making enough money to support the couple's lavish lifestyle. They became so successful Joe wanted to expand into the adult movie business. "At the same time they were lovers, they were also out working and providing sex and escort services to other clients."īoth of them made a fortune from clients paying huge sums of money for the services of Harlow, who looked underage. I didn't even know that such a thing existed." "Their romantic relationship ran alongside their business relationship," said Stoner. It was the first time I've ever done anything like that. "They called me and I went to their home. "He got me involved in male escorting, which is like being a 'call boy,' literally," said Harlow. Joe was also pimping Harlow out for what Joe says was $1 million a year in his sex business. "And Harlow became dependent upon him for his house, clothing, car, for his food, and all of his daily expenses were covered by Joe," said by Stoner. Joe talked Harlow into getting out of the Navy and moving in with him. "The romantic relationship between Joe and Harlow began rather quickly and I think was precipitated by the fact Joe is a little older than Harlow and Harlow always seemed to be looking for a bit of direction or a leader in his life," said Andrew Stoner, co-author with Peter Conway of Cobra Killer: Gay Porn, Murder, and the Manhunt to Bring the Killers to Justice, the book on which the new feature film King Cobra is based. The other was Harlow Cuadra, then a handsome 20-year-old Navy recruit who recalls that first meeting in a phone interview from behind bars. One of them was Joe Kerekes, then a 28-year-old former Marine who now owned his own escort service. Bryan Kocis, the man known in the porn business as "King Cobra," probably wouldn't be dead, and there would be no movie, if not for an encounter between two gay men at a mall in Virginia Beach, Florida.
