Hogan's partner in X-rated home-movie antics has not been identified. Houston said that his client was unaware that he was being recorded at the time.

An anonymous, er, donor slipped about 30 minutes of teaser footage to Gawker, which posted it yesterday. It's unclear when the tape was made, but Hogan is seen checking his ringing phone to see if it's his son, Nick, calling—an indicator that the recording was made sometime after Nick's release from jail in 2008.
