Cobra Studio Owner Murdered

Homophobic gay-for-pay porn stars busted for first degree murder charges? That's so last year: the latest sad tale to come from the porn trenches involves Bryan Charles Kocis, owner of bareback twink porn studio Cobra Video, who was found murdered in his home earlier this week. Pennsylvania authorities initially believed that Kocis was the victim of a fire that destroyed his property but later concluded that the fire may have been set to cover up the initial crime of murder. Kocis spent the last few years of his life putting out his own fires when it was discovered that former Cobra model and "Fuck Me Raw" star Brent Corrigan was underage in some of his earliest films; the two later engaged in a prolonged legal squabble over rights to the 'Brent Corrigan' name. It's all a "Nightline" episode waiting to happen ... and we have the feeling we haven't heard the last about this story yet. - VH/JD
