2 charged in stabbing death of gay porn producer

Two men were arrested Tuesday and charged with killing a producer of gay pornographic movies.

Harlow R. Cuadra, 25, and Joseph M. Kerekes, 33, were arrested in Virginia Beach, Va., on warrants charging them with the death of Bryan Charles Kocis, state police said. Authorities did not specify a motive.

The body of Kocis, 44, was found in late January by firefighters responding to a blaze at his home in Dallas Township, north of Wilkes-Barre. An autopsy showed his throat had been slashed and he had been stabbed 28 times in the torso.
Investigators said the house was set on fire after he was killed.

Kocis' company, Cobra Video, produces and sells gay porn.

He had been sentenced in May 2002 to a year of probation for possessing a videotape that showed him having sex with a 15-year-old boy. More serious charges were dropped when boy said he misrepresented his age to Kocis.
