Supporters of Lockhart even started a blog devoted to his side, www.friendsofbrentcorrigan.com.
Roy went a step further: in the early months of 2006 he launched a blog under the unfortunate name, www.cobrakillerblog.com. Roy said he created the site because the fight with Kocis had gone public, and he was bitter. His postings to the site, he said, were “to shed light on the difficulties we were having in the lawsuit…just to shed a little light on what was going on.” (60)
Jason Sechrest, who owns and operates the “Jason Curious” blog and a casting agency for gay porn actors in Southern California, wrote about the public fracture that erupted between Kocis and Lockhart. In initial postings, he seemed to take Kocis’ position, but incidents to follow seemed to push Sechrest and others in the “gay porn establishment” toward Lockhart’s position. A July 2006 incident at Sechrest’s “Cocktails with the Stars” event at Micky’s Bar in West Hollywood seemed to turn several against the reclusive Kocis. Sechrest said “Cobra continues the lies” and clarified that Cobra Video did not hold an event with Brent Corrigan at Micky’s, but instead attempted to crash the weekly “Cocktails with the Stars” event. (61) Sechrest described a “pathetic cry for attention” by Cobra when one of the two men passed out free copies of a bareback video featuring Lockhart, while another posed as a fan asking for a photo to be taken with Lockhart. “Just before the flash went off, (they) threw up a copy of a Cobra video to make it look like Brent was promoting it. They ran out quickly…as Cobra continues its fork-tongued lies.” (62)
Lockhart would later accuse Kocis of stealing passwords for his MySpace account and engaging in instant messaging chats with fans and others, posing as Lockhart, and sullying his reputation. “He would, like, IM all my friends. My brother IM’d him and that’s how my brother found out about my adult work, he sent him a (picture), and he started soliciting sex with my brother. He didn’t know it was my brother. So, after that happened, I just stopped using instant messaging,” Lockhart said. (63)
Roy also was playing rough—he reportedly approached the FBI Field Office in San Diego, California on two separate occasions, filing complaints against Kocis and his Cobra Video company, alleging they were employing underage performers. No public disclosure of any FBI action was ever revealed, and no charges were ever brought. (64)
By August of 2006, gay porn giant Falcon Studios began promoting one of its major releases of the year, The Velvet Mafia. The film featured the name of an actor new to the industry, Fox Ryder, but his face was very familiar. Fox Ryder was Sean Lockhart. The battle for the name Brent Corrigan still in full swing, and Lockhart not backing away from the gay porn industry, a savvy Falcon Studios found a way to move Lockhart’s image (under the new Fox Ryder name) onto the DVD box cover. Gay porn industry insider Sechrest said he believed the “scare tactics” of Cobra Video forced Falcon to abandon any ideas of using the Brent Corrigan name. “(But), I think the drama and mystery will only help to sell the movie more. Brent’s fans know what the hell he looks like and he’s on the box cover for God’s sake. And if this isn’t life imitating art, I don’t know what is: in The Velvet Mafia , two porn companies are violently vying for the exclusivity of (Lockhart’s) character, Fox Ryder.” (65)
More troubles for Lockhart
In October 2006, abandoning the new stage name of Fox Ryder given to him by Falcon producers, Lockhart finally launched www.brentcorriganonline.com, described as a members-only site that would allow Lockhart to produce and distribute new adult material. Just a short time later, however, the site went dark when its online payment coordinator, CC Bill, allegedly canceled his billing contract reportedly under pressure from Kocis, and his
