Kurt Capewell on the pitch in Australia.
Professional RFL Aussie rugby player Kurt Capewell has opened up about how he was tricked into performing in a gay porno when he was a cash strapped youngster.
The 27 year old, who plays for the Penrith Panthers in Australia’s National Rugby League decided it was time to speak out about his experience after videos resurfaced on social media.
We've all see the sort of vids Kurt is talking about and whilst it might seem harmless and consenting to the viewer, it begs the question 'are the guys involved aware of what's going on or the repercussions that may follow later in life?'
Back 2013, the then 20year-old Capewell was working as a tradie and answered an ad for some modelling work which then turned sexual when the Penrith Panthers star was offered more money. He says of the incident :
‘The organiser used inducements and extra money for being involved in the adult film. I take full responsibility for what happened. My message to young people is to be really careful when being offered money for photo shoots. It’s not the person I am today. I’ve had to learn the hard way. I hope others don’t have to go through what I have endured.”
Capewell discussed getting tricked into doing gay porn
Capewell took it upon himself to also text his fellow team mates saying it’s a ‘hard to put the full story into words but I was broke and doing some modelling, then I got talked into doing an [adult film],” he wrote, continuing ‘Unknown to me but it turned out they put a bloke on the other side of the wall. I’m terribly embarrassed and ashamed even though it happened when I was so young. It’s something I've been dealing with for the past eight years behind closed doors and I know you will all have my back and stand by me moving forward.'
A young Capewell in the video in question
The site in question, AllAustralianBoys.com, is widely available and features on various site such as PornHub. Ads on the site say 'Straight, gay and bi-curious guys who have a muscular or toned slim body and want to show it off. Great opportunity for gym guys that have worked hard to get their bodies looking so good - it's payback time. You are not going to look this good forever.'
To add to the creepy AF vibes, the founder and chief photographer “Jason” writes on the site. ‘We are often asked – how do we constantly get these type of guys to do this stuff. It’s not easy but the results make it very worthwhile!’
It’s clear from the videos themselves that it’s a racket and they use ‘a contraption that the young men being filmed stand on one side of, with a much older man concealed on the other, performing sex acts.’
