Gay porn star arrested for murder

The gay porn star known as Marcus Allen is behind bars on murder charges. Many called the straight actor homophobic even though he was a gay porn star.
Police arrested a married gay porn star along the Mexican border for the slaying of a wealthy Denver businessman. The victim was the succesful president of a Colorado company that purchased and sold consumer debt.

The alleged killer, Tim Boham, has appeared in numerous porn films and gay magazines using the name "Marcus Allen". He was charged with first-degree murder after deliberation, first-degree felony murder and aggraved robbery.

The victim, 43-year-old John P. Kelso, was found in the bathtub of his upscale home Nov. 13th. His wealth has been reported to be "sizable" and is openly gay.

The two men reportedly knew each other. A motive for the killing was unclear.

According to police, even though he was a gay porn star, Boham is married and has a 5-year-old daughter. He is known in the gay porn industry as a performer who was "gay for pay."

As Marcus Allen, he appeared in videos with such titles as "The Road To Temptation", "Through the Woods", "Never Been Touched", "In Bed With..." and "Ripe" and on the cover of many publications including "Freshmen" where he was later named "Freshman of the Year" in 2003.

Unconfirmed reports claim Boham was in trouble with the cops several years ago for firing a gun at a business associate. It is unclear what wounds, if any, that person had.

Boham's neighbors and business associates also claim that despite his line of work, he was considered homophobic. He allegedly has his apartment fumigated before moving in after discovering that a gay person once lived there.
