An alleged police escort given to two gay stripper porn stars to a Boston nightclub has prompted police to yank one officer off the beat while Internal Affairs investigates the free-ride claim.

Police Commissioner Edward Davis said the Oct. 24, 2008, incident was a misuse of a police cruiser at a time when department resources are stretched thin.

“These are troubling allegations,” Davis said in a statement. “The department is taking this matter very seriously and it will be fully investigated.”

A law enforcement source said police believe the officer was escorting the male strippers to the Roxy nightclub club, but it is unclear for what purpose. A Boston police source identified the strippers as Jordan and Aden Jaric.

The Jarics, a real-life couple who live in the Sacramento, Calif., area perform at live shows around the country and star in gay porn films together, according to their Web site. The two have appeared together in 2007’s “Endless Crush,” and in 2008’s “Winter Heat,” according to the online movie database imdb.com.

The night after the show at the Roxy, the Jarics performed at Trixx, an all-male Providence strip club, according to NBC 10 TV station in Providence. NBC 10 reported yesterday that Boston police are investigating the claim that a BPD officer escorted the Jarics to the Roxy.

Police refused to release the officer’s name or any other details. Police said the reason for the escort and other specifics of the incident are under investigation.

The officer was transferred and placed on administrative duty, pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

The Jarics could not be reached.
