Porn star Mr. Marcus has been forced behind bars after exposing two fellow adult film stars to a sexually transmitted disease. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail for the crime.
The porn star, real name Jesse Spencer, 42, pleaded no content to the misdemeanor of knowingly exposing another to a communicable disease. He admitted to knowing he had syphilis when he filmed sex scenes with the fellow film actresses, and altering the STD tests.
NBC reports that he also got sentenced to three years probation and 15 days of community service.
The city attorney's office said Spencer changed the document that indicated he tested positive for syphilis before shooting the scenes with the women. He got a shot of penicillin after testing positive and when he still failed the mandatory test before the scenes, he altered the documents a week later.
After a producer saw that he had altered the tests, the actresses he filmed with on July 24 and 26 of last year filed police reports.
The Huffington Post reports that Spencer said in an interview with Xbiz in August, "I tried to cover it up… Because I said it was like the scarlet letter. It’s the word. Syphilis, whoa. I have to live with this, no one else does. I’m very sorry. I did not think that this would come out like this."
He said his doctor told him if he took the penicillin shot he wouldn’t be contagious for the following ten days.
