Mr. Marcus Apologizes For Starting Porn Syphilis Outbreak By Changing His Test Results! [Audio]
Porn actor Mr. Marcus has come out and identified
himself as the performer responsible for the
current syphilis outbreak that has shut down
production in the San Fernando Valley. He believes
he contracted the STD on set but admits that he
altered his syphilis-positive test so that he
could keep performing. His altered test was what
started the scare and initiated the industry's
self-imposed 10-day moratorium while actors are
tested and treated for syphilis. The porn actor
was diagnosed with syphilis on July 12, received a
penicillin shot on July 13 and returned to work 11
days later, on July 24, AVN reports. However, he
still had the STD. Perhaps most disturbing, the
producer of the shoot didn't ask for a paper or
digital copy of Marcus' STD test. Instead, the
actor showed a copy of the test on his cell phone
so that the syphilis portion wasn't visible. For a
subsequent porn shoot, Marcus said he folded his
test covering the syphilis portion and photocopied
it. However, a producer noticed this time that the
numbers were missing and called Marcus out on it.
