Drake Von is not staying quiet. The gay porn star is firing back at allegations that he strangled his female partner, blasting the criminal charges as complete nonsense. In a statement, he said all allegations are false, the charges will be dropped, and the entire situation was a misunderstanding. He also hinted that content is coming soon about the case.
Nevada authorities see things very differently. Von was arrested on Tuesday after cops in Las Vegas claimed he tried to strangle his female partner at a million-dollar home. Police have not released further details about what led to the incident. Court records show Von is facing two felonies: domestic battery by strangulation and coercion constituting domestic violence with threat or use of physical force. He was also charged with misdemeanor domestic battery.
Von was released from the Vegas jail after posting a bond of just over $25,000. He is now publicly denying everything. In his statement, he added a yawning emoji and called the case a publicity stunt.
Von has been working in the porn industry since he turned 18. He is known for taking the dominant role in his scenes. At the 2024 GayVN Awards, he was nominated for eight awards and took home two statues. His rising career is now colliding with serious criminal allegations.
Von promises content will be made soon about the situation. Whether that means a video statement, a podcast appearance, or something else is unclear. What is clear is that he is not pleading guilty. He is not apologizing. He is fighting back publicly before the case even goes to trial.
