Sebastian Young Will Face Trial For Threatening To Kill Florida Detective
A trial date has been set for gay porn star Sebastian Young, who allegedly threatened to kill a Florida detective by running her over with his car.

While he has been arrested at least three times recently for assaulting his wife, charges were either eventually dropped or never filed after each arrest. The state appears likely to proceed with the charge this time, given that it involves one of their own:
