earned (was) with only the skin of our asses, escorting,” Kerekes said. (76)
Kerekes continues to deny he and Cuadra faced any financial difficulties as 2007 dawned, but he told a different story on a secretly taped intercept of him and Cuadra explaining their financial woes to Grant Roy and Sean Lockhart. (77)
“We almost lost our house,” Cuadra said.
“Yeah, we were behind, we were behind two or three moths, they were about to take it,” Kerekes added.
“The Viper, everything was back in payments,” Cuadra said, noting they caught up on payments just enough to keep it from being repossessed. (78)
Despite all the financial challenges, Cuadra said “any chance (Joe) can take to act like a big shot, he’ll do it. That is (why) Vegas is the only town that makes him feel comfortable in his skin. It’s over the top. That’s Joseph Kerekes.” (79)
The employees of BoisRUs
A list of eighteen to twenty-two year old “boys” was employed occasionally by Kerekes and Cuadra, but it is unclear how many “employees” were ever a part of the escort service beyond Cuadra and Kerekes themselves.
Three of those men were called as witnesses in the 2009 murder trial of Harlow Cuadra. Justin Hensley said he was out of work in April 2005 when he answered an ad for male dancers placed in the classified section of the Virginian-Pilot newspaper, and Kerekes offered him work.
As he started working with Cuadra and Kerekes, “it was (just) an escort business, and then it picked up into the gay pornographic production, gay porn videos to be specific,” Hensley said, by July 2005. (80)
Hensley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, would later be deployed on two tours of duty to U.S. military operations in Iraq. But before leaving to serve his country, he spent time serving male clients procured for him by Cuadra and Kerekes—escort work that brought him a maximum of $250 an hour. Hensley described clients of the escort business as high-level executives, military officials, and political figures. His claim that a U.S. Senator was among the clients for BoisRUs was never confirmed.
“Mr. Kerekes pretty much was the boss of (BoisRUs), he mostly answered the phone and set up everything, but he occasionally went on calls with myself. Mr. Cuadra pretty much did the escorting full-time,” Hensley said. (81)
His escort work eventually led to at least one on-camera performance with Cuadra in the very first BoyBatter gay porn production. Despite his growing involvement with the gay business enterprises of Cuadra and Kerekes, Hensley said he was engaged to be married to a young woman and was only “gay for pay.” “I grew to be a friend of Cuadra because he took care of me,” Hensley said. (82)
Another young man affiliated with Cuadra and Kerekes’ enterprises said he earned up to $250 for an hour spent with clients and that he witnessed a well-oiled operation where Kerekes ran the booking for the escorts under the BoisRUs company, and Cuadra ran the pornography company. (83)
Andrew Shunk, who regularly worked out with Cuadra and Kerekes at the Big House Gym in Virginia Beach, said the couple “usually worked out once a day, usually in the morning for at least an hour, and it was mainly muscle building,” he said. (84)
Shunk and Hensley described a tight relationship between the men, with Kerekes acting as the muscles and Cuadra as the brain. (85) They said Kerekes worked to keep Cuadra happy and pleased, an assessment confirmed by Kerekes mother. “Joe went out of his way to make Harlow happy,” Rosalie Kerekes said. (86) His efforts to keep Cuadra happy, however, did not prevent Kerekes from continued angry outbursts in their home and elsewhere. Joe’s temper remained legendary.
The nature of Harlow and Joe
Needing a place to stay, Hensley said he began living with Cuadra and Kerekes in September 2005, first at their townhome on Link Court in Virginia Beach and the later at their Stratem Court home. He would describe,
