CockyBoys Profile on Former RentBoy and Partner Goes Viral |
NEW YORK, NY — CockyBoys owner and director Jake Jaxson recently produced a short film directed by CockyBoys' editor Andy Pandy, which profiles escort Rob Yager (who was advertising on RentBoy.com before the raid by Federal agents in NYC which resulted in the arrest of 6 employees and shutdown of the website) and his lifelong partner Steve, whom Rob takes care of due to a freak accident which caused Steve to be immobilized years ago. Jaxson wanted to put a face on the story of the RentBoy shutdown and highlight the human component to this important topic of freedom and government overreach. The emotional short features the couple's struggle in the face of adversity. It has gone viral since being released Friday on Jake Jaxson's Facebook page. The next day, the video and accompanying essay written by Jaxson was put on the front page of The Huffington Post and since has been viewed over 150,000 times between Facebook, YouTube, and CockyBoys.com.Since the short went viral Rob and his partner Steve have shared the following statement, "We are doing great. Steve asks me to watch the video every hour, it seems. It brings him to tears every time. It makes him feel like his suffering is finally understood after years of silence." CockyBoys' owner and director Jake Jaxson says, "Thank you all for your open minds, open hearts, and positive energy. I hope you can see that just a little love toward one another can go a long way!"
