Skeeter Kerkove has disappeared. He hasn't been picking up his phone for days and people that are doing business with him haven't heard from Skeeter, either. A story I'm hearing is that Skeeter sold his car and house and has dropped out of sight. Another story is that he supposedly suffered a nervous breakdown or near to one. KSEX has also been trying to contact Skeeter to get him on a show but hasn't received any return phone calls; and all e-mails have, likewise, been returned. I've spoken to R Dog who's the lighting guy on all Skeeter's shoots. He hasn't heard from Skeeter, either, and got a voice message, just as I did last week from Skeeter's mother stating that a shoot was being cancelled because Skeeter was "sick". > Robert Ferrara comments about sexalotnyc.com on www.XXXporntalk.com: "I know at LEAST 4 girls on that site that these guys flew in....paid the girls with a cashiers check, and the check was bad. AND they are using the girls fucking real names. They need to go down and believe me, I am working on it now."
Selling cars and homes takes time. Hard to hide if people are coming by. The story doesn't mention anybody trying to contact Bridgette Kerkove for information. Now why is that? Not only is it obvious, but it is a much bigger story if both are missing.
The section of the first post that talks about sexalotnyc.com is a cut and paste error. The post must have been directly copied from AdultFYI.com because the less-than arrow is how they mark the beginning of their news items. In all fairness to infinium, the article is posted with no space between the two pieces on the original site. It did make me wonder how the two stories were related at first, though too.
Well considering that a very inaccurate story has been floated that Skeeter is a "child predator" because some people don't understand that EVERY person that has ever been convicted of a sex crime, regardless of whether it was against a child or not , is required to be listed on the Megan's Law website. . . I can see why he might have decided to move/hide out for awhile.
For the sake of correctness:
The charges listed against Skeeter under his listing on the Megan's Law website are two counts of "Insertion of a foreign object" (in other words sodomy) and they both occurred on the same date. There is no charge of sexual assault or battery. There is no charge concerning a minor. The acts concern actions commited against a female adult.
It appears that no charges were pressed against Skeeter by the victim. I have wondered if this was actually a case of it being reported by the victim, or if it was a porn shoot bust. If the crime was reported and not part of some bust, the victim must have decided not to press charges.
Now I'm not saying that a sex crime is a little thing. But as a society we have the responsibility to make distinctions between hysteria and logic where crimes and criminal records are concerned. There is an very, very , very tiny chance of a sexual criminal that has committed sex crimes against adult females will ever harm a child. That's a completely different sociological and psychological pathology.

jake, actually I know that and had that figured out. I wanted him to take another look, and perhaps be a little more careful on the grab and drag when he wants to talk of one subject only.

What are you talking about? He was convicted of sexual penetration with a foreign object by force , and is a registered sex offender. That's why he's on the Megan's Law website. You don't end up with your mug there because the cops bust a porno shoot.
I don't want to be too cruel or insensitive and I certainly hope Skeeter hasn't come to any physical harm, but has anyone checked the most obvious place, where the 47 golf balls, the frying pan, the pool table and the vast and inumerable toys are stored? Bridgette, be love and bend over...
Sigh - this has been discussed. The "force" element doesn't necessarily mean what you and I might think of as "force". For example, any nonconsensual penetration might be defined as meeting the "force" element. Then consider the possibility that any penetration might be defined as nonconsensual if the girl is legally drunk (think DUI).
I don't know if these examples are true or not, but it's certainly something that might be. Think in terms of courts stretching existing statute to cover date-rape scenarios. It's easy to imagine that the various elements might be met. It's why it's nice to be able to afford a good lawyer when in court...
I bet you can. The "registered sex offender" tag is the worst thing you can do to someone short of the death penalty: it's for life, there is no parole, and it doesn't come with scrutiny that death penalty cases get.
There are lots of conservative rural areas in the USA that *don't* *like* pornographers. If the sheriff doesn't like you and you can't afford an attorney, you might be in a lot of trouble if you get caught shooting a porno with the judge's daughter...
(my dad was a prosecutor for a small town years ago, knew the judge for 20 years and most of the people in town. In six years he lost *one* count in *one* case. Do you like those odds if they took a serious dislike to you?)
It is odd that there's nothing else here. Were this a "rape" by my definition I'd expect to see some assault & battery and other things. Skeeter appears to view a public debate on this as a losing proposition - he's probably right - and so he may never want to go over his side of the story. It's pretty likely he made a significant mistake - keep your temper, walk away, it's not worth it - but I'd be careful of reading too much into it without knowing more about it, such as what the victim had to say about it, etc.
Yes, you can Harri - if the cops see the act in progress, there doesn't have to be a completely unwilling "victim" per se. They can bust you for the act, even if the alledged victim was willing.
I've been in the bdsm scene a long time, and I've seen it happen half a dozen times. It's happened to two local Dominas in the last seven years. I will allow them to remain nameless unless they choose to come forward with their stories.

I have a theory that he has exhausted his quota of exclamation points, and has taken on a clandestine mission to acquire more overseas. And some ass lube.

I don't know what you're sighing about, and I don't know what discussion you're referring to. Penal Code section 289(a), which is the one he's indicated to have violated, applies to "an act of sexual penetration when the act is accomplished against the victim's will by means of force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the victim or another person." That's pretty much what I, and I think most people, think of when someone says "force."
As to your speculation about a possibly drunken victim, the crime of sexual penetration "when the victim is prevented from resisting by any intoxicating or anesthetic substance, or any controlled substance, and this condition was known,or reasonably should have been known by the accused" is covered by subsection (e) of section 289. If this is what he had been convicted of, this is what his Megan's Law webpage would say. It doesn't. And frankly, I don't know what your point is in bringing that up. Do you consider it to be meaningfully less reprehensible to stick something up a girl who is too drunk to tell you not to, than it is to do the same thing to a girl you're pointing a gun at?
(Note: the only caveat to any of the preceding is that his Megan's Law page indicates he was convicted under a prior version of section 289. Without cracking a book, I can't confirm that 289(a) then -- whenever then was -- was the same, or essentially the same, as it is now.)
If someone holds a gun to your head and sticks his fist or an axe handle or something up your ass, are you going to comfort yourself by saying, "well, at least I'm not being raped, by my definition"?
Interestingly, the information is no longer on any of the websites I saw it on, and it appears it has been removed from the Megans Law website as well.... Or I just couldn't find it.
Uh, the Megan's Law entry is still there. As for it disappearing from the other websites ... funny how that happens, huh? I call it the "TT Boy" syndrome ...
people often go to "vacation" for various reasons mostly several month hitchhiking across Europe only with back bag, no cell phone, no contact number and no clear statement about when there're planning to come back...
btw, Katja, habe dich gestern abend das erste Mal gesehen, in TEEN AMERICA 2. Whoa, kochend heiss. Hast du eigentlich auch in Deutschland Filme gemacht? Gibt es einen DVD-Titel mit dir, den du besonders empfehlen kannst?
Was hält's du denn von der Interview-Aufbereitung bei TEEN AMERICA2, mit den marschierenden Truppen und den Zeitungsausschnitten? Und von dem Titel DAS ANAL für deine Szene?
I have only done one scene in Germany, which was my very first scene for the movie "Der Schuh im Arsch der Mona Q" but that's it. I haven't seen Robby D's film, so I can'tsay anything about it.
It'd be nice if Skeeter would show back up so that he can shoot more good movies (that are either delayed forever or hacked up by the studios) and so that he can again frequent the board with his witticisms, and so that bkmax.com will be updated again (no updates since 04/12/05)
I have to agree. It sounds quite odd, partucularly if you're not a 20-something backpacker but a porn producer with a contract, a wife (with a directing contract), kids and a house and all of the rest.
I'm sure someone knows where Skeeter is, but obviously if he's not interested in being found right now, we're not going to find out here on ADT.
I'll let him out of my basement as soon as I get the ransom. How many times do I have to say it? Please hurry, he keeps asking when my daughter's 18th birthday is...
Gene, like all journalists, have a soft spot for subjects who feed him everytime he shows up, & give him plenty to write about.

Lunch with Skeeter- final hearing set for June 13th
--Gene Ross
Porn Valley- Skeeter Kerkove was lost but now he is found. After about five weeks of being incommunicado, Skeeter talked at length with me this week. This afternoon we had lunch at Jerry's Deli in Woodland Hills but I wasn't taking notes except the mental variety. Skeeter, who I consider one of my best friends in the business, was telling me his story. Actually a pretty bizarre story involving a tattooed husband in the lead role. And I'm thinking here's a real book spilled from today's porno headlines. Also out of the side of my eye I'm checking out this one blond waitress with huge cans and a big ass that is spilling out of her jeans. Skeeter's saying, yeah, she's beautiful agreeing with my assessment.
Skeeter's also telling me he's lost maybe 19 pounds but was getting some of it back. Ordinarily Skeeter opts for wearing a blue bandana, a black tank top, matching color pants and black boots. Today he would have blended in with the deli crowd. He was wearing a tan color New York Yankees cap, blue plaid long sleeve shirt and sunglasses. Joe Average.
The last time I saw Skeeter was next to the last week in April. He was scheduled to shoot a movie for Metro the last Friday of the month but something happened. His ex-wife Bridgette apparently hit him with molestation charges involving his youngest daughter, and that was that for the Metro shoot as far as Skeeter was concerned.
I got a call from Skeeter's mother the night before the shoot telling me Skeeter was sick and that the shoot was cancelled. But I didn't hear about the so-called charges until some time later. And hearing what I've heard I can understand why Skeeter was sick. Heartbroken, more like it. This is a man who truly loves his children. I've seen evidence of it time and again.
Even the lawyer he's retained figured that out right away. Skeeter's telling me this guy wouldn't have even considered the case if there was a glimmer, a possibility that Skeeter was guilty. The lawyer has no use for child molesters and told Skeeter as much. More so, the lawyer checked out his story before he would take the case.
Finally there was an investigation. But no physical evidence could be found to link Skeeter with the charges. Those being the facts of the case so far, Skeeter's asking his lawyer, okay, where does the slander come in and who can he go after.
For now, that's all Skeeter wants to or probably can say about the subject. He gives me his lawyer's name, then tells me about the money he's lost from not shooting movies, not to mention the hefty attorney fees. Right now there's a hearing scheduled for June 13th. And I'm sure there will be many more. I'm hearing the names Ashley Blue and Venus being thrown into the mix- links in the he said, she said gossip chain. From what I'm told, Blue and Venus were enabling the story to get out there. They may now have to testify. And, according to Skeeter, they'll have to tell the truth.
Skeeter's telling me about a case similar to his and about how that dragged on for three years. And I'm listening to the details of his own, truly amazed at Skeeter's capacity for facts and time lines. Ever since I met him in Mexico six years ago Skeeter could give you astonishing recaps of porn shoots. And, in the same way, he's tracing events in the six years of his married life which is over and done with for all practical purposes.
Like the time his ex, who's now retained a bodyguard, punched his tooth out in March, I ask him if he's willing to go for the throat because this will certainly get ugly. He doesn't care about that, Skeeter says, and goes into another time when his mother-in-law made charges that he shot a porn movie with Mike Quasar, featuring performers like Mark Davis and Aurora Snow, all with his kids allegedly hanging around the set. Then I hear about the time Skeeter was supposed to have paid me off to write an article [link removed: No tube sites] casting his ex-wife in a bad light - specifically the time she had a face off with Missy Monroe on a porn set. Amazing how I was able to connive Missy into pissing so I could write that story I'm telling Skeeter, always wondering about that story since Missy hadn't done anything wrong when you consider the facts.
I ask Skeeter about things like motive and why these present events would be happening. Money for one thing, he suspects. Then he laughs. What money after all this is over. Then there's revenge and jealousy. And you've got your movie of the week.
But, for now, all Skeeter wants to do is clear his name and get some measure of vindication. So far he's gotten a lot of support from video companies who would have him direct at a bat of an eye His eyes brighten when he talks about really positive conversations with Joey Wilson. But his eyes darken knowing the noose that's been thrown around his own neck and kept there. A couple of months ago Skeeter was giving me details of a case that put him on a sex predator's list. It happened years ago. Wished it had never happened, he says with a shrug of his shoulders. But what are you going to do. Except all of this has been put in his face time and again and used as a loaded gun.
I enjoyed skeeter's films but if those kids go into court and say that he molested him than I would convict his ass in a heartbeat as a juror. Also, child molestors are never easy to spot and I don't think that Gene is any different then anyone else at detecting them.
Secondly, all lawyers are scum and I don't believe for a second that this lawyer cares about anything but money. I can tell you that this lawyer cannot read minds and only looked for the sincerity in skeeter's face when asked if he molested those kids, that 'sincerity' can be faked.
Thirdly, physical evidence is hard to find unless he had just molested them or filmed molesting them.
Fourthly, I am not saying he did it but I will say that the prosecutors will not do anything unless they have a strong case. Hopefully, they aren't right-wingers who are looking to bring him down due to hatred based on his career as a porn director.
Fifthly, I hope that you get screwed hard in the ass by a gang of inmates if you did this Skeeter. If you didn't then I hope that your name is cleared and you get back into directing.
Uh, Green-Toke, you're indulging in the earth's sacrament too much & not reading closely. That was all a quote from Gene Ross's column that I posted to answer the question of the thread. The opinions expressed are not my own.
