After Being Accused Of Raping Multiple Models, Porn Studio Owner Bryan Schwandt Says That He’s “Retiring” From BoyCrush
Following multiple accusations of rape, sexual harassment, and offering of illegal drugs and alcohol to his employees, Bryan Schwandt announced today that he’ll be “retiring” from BoyCrush, the gay twink porn studio that he owns and operates out of Phoenix, Arizona.
His retirement statement—which is meaningless, unless he’s given away all ownership and financial interest in his studio—was posted on both his and his studio’s Twitter accounts earlier today, and in it Schwandt again admits to having sex with his employees (which he calls “unprofessional”), while denying that he raped any of them. The alleged rapist goes on to complain about receiving “harassment and death threats” after at least four different models publicly accused him of raping them on his porn sets, and because of the threats, Schwandt says that “it is best” for him and other BoyCrush employees that he retire (which, again, means nothing if he’s still the owner of the studio). He claims that director Phillip Ashton will be “replacing” him and running the company:
Over the last month, four people have spoken out publicly about various abuses, sexual harassment, and rapes committed by Schwandt on BoyCrush sets, including performers Kadence Pinder, Ethan Steele, Cole Claire, and Justin Stone. They and several other models have also alleged that Schwandt has offered and provided models with illegal prescription drugs, as well as alcohol for models who are under the age of 21 (in Arizona, the legal drinking age is 21).
Str8UpGayPorn has reached out for clarification on what Schwandt’s role will be in the company going forward. Also, Schwandt previously told Str8UpGayPorn that his adult daughter is an employee at BoyCrush, and it’s not clear how, if at all, any of this would affect her work with the studio. BoyCrush has been producing gay twink porn for over a decade, and has been online since at least 2005.
