CockyBoys’ owner and director Jake Jaxson recently produced a moving short film directed by CockyBoys’ editor Andy Pandy (you can watch it below). The short film 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. Rob takes care of Steve due to a freak accident which caused him to be immobilized years ago.
Jaxson wanted to put a face on the story of the RentBoy shutdown; as well as highlight the human component to this important topic of freedom and government overreach. The emotional short features the heart wrenching portrayal of the couple’s struggle in the face of adversity. The story has gone viral since being released Friday on Jake Jaxson’s Facebook page.
Since the short went viral, Rob and his partner Steve are doing great and 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!”

Wow, moving. Such devotion. This is important and needs to be broadcast everywhere.
TYT is dissing the government over-reach in closing down Rentboy too.
