Gay porn star Jarec Wentworth was arrested earlier this month by undercover FBI agents for extorting a wealthy man out of more than $500,000.

Wentworth, real name Teofil Brank, threatened to expose details of the unnamed victim’s embarrassing ‘sexual liaisons’ on social media if he did not meet his demands.

Brank, 26, is a performer for Sean Cody and Men.com and played a detective in a recent role.

He successfully blackmailed the man out of $500,000 in cash and an Audi R8 valued at $180,000 in mid-February. But the man went to the FBI after Brank demanded an additional one million dollars and an condo in Los Angeles.

Brank made several threats over text message, which were included in the FBI affidavit posted on Str8UpGayPorn (NSFW).

‘I do have a twitter and your photos. Lies can be made or Maybe it’s the truth,’ he wrote.

‘I want a new car, motorcycle, and both hands full of cash.

‘I want a condo here in LA. Bachelor pad. You have a taste I like. 2 bed Max. Perfer [sic] one. I want 300,000 cash. You can and will. I want this ASAP like yesterday. So you can be at peace.’

The FBI set up a sting at a Los Angeles Starbucks and arrested Brank on at 8.30pm on 4 March. A loaded .357 Magnum revolver was found in his car.

Brank was refused bail due to flight risk and will remain in the custody of US Marshals until his arraignment on 26 March.

If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison, if not longer for possession of a loaded gun.
