Models

Sean Cody alumni include underwear model Simon Dexter;[1] Aaron Savy, a fitness model and Ultimate Fighter who has appeared on Hole in the Wall, a reality TV show[2][3] and Dayton O'Connor, Colby Keller, Paul Wagner and Brady Jensen ("Dayton", "Colby", "Barry", and "Jonah" respectively), now professional porn actors.[4][5][6] Dakota Cochrane, who appeared on the 15th season of The Ultimate Fighter on FX, modeled as "Danny" on Sean Cody during the latter half of 2007—a decision he now regrets.[7]

Controversy

Jason Andrews, who appeared on the site as "Addison" in 2008, was arrested for first-degree murder in 2010.[8] Addison was very popular among fans and he appeared in seven videos from April to July 2008. Andrews later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.[9][10]

In January 2012, SeanCody.com's parent company filed suit in a federal court against 122 unidentified filesharers for allegedly trading pirated copies of the site's first condom-free video, "Brandon & Pierce Unwrapped", in December 2011. This is the first time Sean Cody has sued over online piracy.[11]

In 2014, 18-year-old high-school student Robert Marucci, who had performed in several SeanCody videos under the name "Noel", was briefly suspended from Cocoa High School in Brevard County, Florida. Marucci stated that he had been suspended because of his adult-film performances; school authorities denied this, asserting that they were responding to allegations that Marucci had threatened students who had taunted him for his after-school job. Marucci stated that he had taken the job to help support his mother, who expressed her approval of his conduct.[12][13][14][15][16]

In March 2015, Teofil Brank, who had modeled for Sean Cody under the name Jarec Wentworth, was arrested for allegedly extorting a Magicjack Vocaltec Ltd. executive who is also a prominent Republican political activist. He was found guilty in July 2015.[17][18][19] Wentworth had modeled for Sean Cody from 2010 to 2013 and appeared in 29 of their videos (which, at the time, was the most scenes any model had ever done).[citation needed]
