Mike Dozer Arrested On Statutory Rape Charges Involving 14-Year-Old Boy

Gay porn star Mike Dozer, whom we recently saw getting his ass raped with a wrench in Raging Stallion’s Open Road, was arrested in December for the statutory rape and reckless endangerment of a 14-year-old boy in Pennsylvania.

As the Philadelphia Gay News reports, Dozer, whose real name is Christopher Steele, met the boy on the hookup site Jack’d and drove to his house in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania from his home in Delaware. Apparently he gave the kid poppers and may or may not have disclosed his HIV status.

He’s currently being held in a Montgomery County jail on $1,000,000 bail.

Dozer’s lawyer, Kevin Wray, contends that Dozer was not aware that the boy was underage and that he tried to remove himself from the situation once he figured it out. Also, he says, the reckless endangerment charge was added last week out of ignorance and homophobia on the part of prosecutors, though it’s not clear whether Dozer had protected or unprotected sex with the boy. Still, Wray had this to say in a statement:

[The charge] bothered me a great deal and seemed to be offensive. He takes medication and is constantly moderating it. Charging someone with [reckless endangerment] because they are HIV-positive is homophobic and ignorant. We don’t go to people who have herpes, colds, Strep throat and charge them. If that is the standard, they need to be indicting everybody. It’s amazing that, 35 years later, the public is still oblivious to the simple fact that HIV does not equal AIDS

In any event, we won’t be seeing Dozer in porn anytime soon. He’s due back in court for an arraignment on February 27, and he also faces charges of “involuntary deviant sexual intercourse,” and aggravated indecent assault.

Update: According to this report, police are saying Dozer “expressed he did not care if the victim was underage, he still wanted to have sex with the victim.” This all happened between June and August of last year, and it’s unclear when or why the 14-year-old came forward.

Update Feb. 27: Dozer/Steele has plead not guilty to all charges and will return to court in April. He remains in jail.

  1. That is what ALL Bareback/Barebackers haters and EVER wanted. A bit sad, but it looks more of a trap or something. The facts are quite foggy.

  2. @Mikey, whether a person is found guilty or takes a plea the result is still the same – time in jail, a determination of guilt, and the person can still proclaim their innocence. At least with a plea you can avoid twenty years in jail by receiving a mere five to ten. Further, even with a good faith belief you still have to be prudent. As for your parsley analogy, it is not appropriate because we are not discussing a matter where your mistake had consequence for just you. Whatever you may feel about the young man, and I frankly think his actions show a need for help, the young man’s encounter with Mr. Steele caused harm, the degree of which we will likely never know. When someone is harmed, even for an honest mistake, you do not get to claim it was an honest mistake and therefore escape consequence. If you make a mistake, and it causes harm to another person, the law provides that you must pay for the wrong doing. If I crash into your car out of malice, or because an officer told me that there was no patch of ice ahead when there was, the result is still the same – a damaged car and more importantly you have been harmed in some way. All of your claims of an honest mistake can be raised as mitigating factors during sentencing but no matter what the cause of his actions, a young man walks away from this situation harmed.

    Every defendant is tried on a case by case basis, but the law is and should be applied to each of us equally. The laws that apply to pedophiles and other such predators should and do apply to individuals presumably like Mr. Steele. The Court allows for mitigation during the sentencing phase of a trial, but it should not allow for the defense of mistake of fact when the victims in cases like these are hapless and as yet mature adolescences. I thought that you said that you do not like Mike Dozer, yet in your reply to Eddie you list as your type Mike Dozer. No matter, I frankly think that there will be more to come out about this matter and I predict that none of it will be good for Mr. Dozer.

    1. As “Attorney” pointed out above, in PA because the boy was not 13 or under, you were wrong – this isn’t a strict liability case. I was actually right, huzzah!

      And about my taste in men, I was talking about physically. The guy above called me a pervert for arguing with you and suggested I, too, troll for sex with twinks (I think he was just projecting, though, lol). I don’t like twinks, I like mature, masculine men. Mike Dozer is a douche (I’ve never liked him, the pro-bareback stuff, etc), but if someone else with an awesome personality looked like him, I’d be all over that. He’s gorgeous. It’s funny though, when I added his name to the list I knew you’d say something.

      1. You know Mikey, I am man enough to admit when I am wrong. This is still a strict liability crime, the difference is that if the victim is above the age of 14 at the time of the first incident then the accused may use the defense of mistake of age. That does not mean that it is not a strict liability crime, just that there is a defense available for someone who sleeps with a 14 year old, that is the difference, though not one that may be of distinction according to the police in this investigation. For me this was not about being right, it was about having a discussion about the law involved since we were discussing arrests and possible conviction. Academic discussions for me are about the fun of the back and forth, not about being right. Though I must point out that you were off arguing the morality of the situation not the law, nevertheless, score one for you on the law, I have no problem with that. The Police say that they have evidence conclusively proving that the accused knew that the young man was 14, I have to believe that the Prosecutor would have seen that evidence and believed it before charging him with this crime particularly if this defense exists. I also have to believe that the judge was persuaded by it to set the bail at such a lofty amount. As for this discussion we will soon see, because it does not appear to me that this defense will be of any worth to him, and he will have to prove his defense by a preponderance of the evidence. All while refuting states evidence against him.

        As for your taste in men, I have my thoughts about why you included his name on the list, but I was curious, not trying to impeach your credibility. You answered the question, so I will presume that you included his name for illustrative purposes only and not for the dubious reasons I suspect. Again, way to go to defend your position, I always admire that.

        1. Dubious reasons? lol What? Google the other guys I listed. They all have the same look, basically. What dubious motivation could I have for saying I think Mike Dozer is physically hot? No idea where you’re going with that.

      2. Also be careful; realize what you are arguing in favor of. You say that is about injustice, but really, what injustice has been done to Mr. Steele? He is in prison because of his poor judgment, not because of a casual sexual encounter gone wrong. He slept with a boy, not a man, and whatever his reasons for doing so, he is not the victim the young man is. I can always be satisfied when a wrong is righted, but at a certain point you cannot argue abstract ideas like morality and divorce that from the reality of what the situation is. A young man is damaged as a result of this encounter, I do not have any sympathy for the man who contributed to that damage regardless of his alleged or claimed ignorance. It may be statutory in nature, but it is rape none the less. No claim of ignorance removes that fact and that is the true cause for outrage.

        1. The injustice I see here is everyone branding him a kid diddler because he allegedly was tricked into sleeping with a minor. You are calling the boy a victim without knowing the evidence. You don’t know what he said to Dozer, who sought who, where they met, what he looks like, what he sounds like, etc. You don’t know the boy’s mental health, behavioral issues, maturity, etc. I’m not suggesting that adults should be allowed to have sex with 14 year olds, certainly NOT. I AM suggesting that 14 is old enough to be able to deceive an average person into believing they are 18. I think a teen that impersonates an adult to have sex with an adult should not be treated as a victim. It was fraud (allegedly). There should be some kind of punishment for that, and the adult shouldn’t be treated like a sex offender if there is good evidence that shows they asked for the age and were deceived.

          You’re talking about the effects of that defense and how it would endanger children — I SO disagree. I think the opposite, actually. What the teen did could be used to send a lot of innocent people to jail. Impersonating an adult to get what you want, and then misusing the law to get revenge.The teen used his age against Steele because he allegedly wouldn’t talk to him anymore after finding out the truth about how old he was. I’m suggesting he may have wanted revenge and he reported Steele to the police and ruined his life because he wouldn’t sleep with him anymore. If Steele asked for his age and was lied to, and he had every reason to believe he was 18, he’s not the predator. The teenager is. In my opinion, if it’s true, the teen should have to do community service and get therapy. I think the parents have some responsibility in this too, for not monitoring what their son was doing on the internet and not supervising him properly.

          It’s not logical to expect people who hookup via an adult service to check for ID, birth certificate, and use a lie detector test before having sex. Hell, the app they used makes you confirm you’re an adult! I don’t think this teen was “damaged” by Steele. From what we know, it sure looks to me like he knew exactly what he was doing. If he’s damaged its from something else in his life.

          1. There in lies the difference between the two of us, you happen to believe that lying is an adult action and that a 14 year old boy should go to jail because he lied on a date app while the man that slept with him should bear no consequence. I frankly think that what you are arguing is dangerous, but we established that already. Acting like an adult and having the maturity of an adult are two different things and I frankly think that this entire contrivance about “sexual fraud” is a farce. He was 14 not of age. Mr. Steele may have made a mistake (which frankly I do not think he did), the question is whether it was reasonable and further, whether there should be a consequence for that. Yes, if you sign up for a dating app and make the obviously stupid mistake of believing that what you are reading is true, then you frankly deserve all that happens to you. Last, anytime that a young person engages an adult sexually there are sure to be severe consequence,mental and emotional. Children are not built for that kind of relationship, heck, they are not particularly built for it when they engage in with each other. Nevertheless, that is the end of this conversation. We will find out on the other side of the juries decision. Oh, as for selecting Mr. Steele, my opinion was that you included his name to draw a reaction. You listed enough men that any reader could have determined your type, it was not necessary to include his name to prove your point. That is why I found it dubious. Again not a point with which to quibble, Mr. Steele will have his day in court and we will be right back here to share out thoughts.

  3. Wow…some of these arguments…
    The folks posting about strict liability are of course completely correct. The law is what it is, whether you think it is ‘fair’ or not. You can argue about it till the cows come home, but that changes nothing.
    And for those of you complaining about the terrible “unfairness” of it all, here’s a suggestion, for what it’s worth…DON’T ‘hook up’ with guys you find on “jack’d”! Or any other damned website! You have NO IDEA who those people are…use some damned common sense, for the love of God!
    Damn! How HARD is THAT? Try getting to KNOW the guys you sleep with and something like this will be unlikely to HAPPEN to you!!!
    There is a world of difference between getting legitimately ‘fooled’ and just being an idiot who can’t control his own dick…

  4. @ Mikey, I have been arguing as if this matter is being tried in the state of Delaware, but actually it is being tried in the state of Pennsylvania. That does not matter because according to one of the posters over on Zach Sire’s blog, mistake of fact is not an affirmative defense against statutory rape in the state of Pennsylvania. Even if Steele did not know the minor was a minor, even if the minor lied to him, he will still be convicted of the crime because the young man was a minor and statutory rape is a strict liability crime. You seem to believe that what is morally right or wrong necessarily equals what is legally right or wrong, but as the poster on Sire’s blog says “the courts are not moral surrogates”. You should not look to the courts to decided what is right and wrong, they exist to administer the law and sometimes those two things oppose one another. It is frustrating sometime, but this is one instance where I agree with that poster’s reasoning and the reason why I used it here on this blog. If we allowed an individual to use the defense that he honestly believed that the minor was of age then even true sexual predators would be set free to prey upon other hapless teens and helpless children because they reasonably believed that the person was of age (which is so subjective). I understand your frustration (though I cannot sympathize with it in cases like these) but I believe the law is fair.

    1. You didn’t answer my question. If he honestly didn’t know he was a minor and the minor lied to him — you don’t think he DESERVES to be found not guilty? This is about right and wrong. Stop lumping cases of sexual predators in with this one, because that’s unrelated. Steele wasn’t looking for a 14 year old. He met someone that said he was 18. That’s not a predator.

      Hapless teens and helpless children – give me a BREAK! This boy was on JACK’D. He was cruising for sex. And apparently, Steele isn’t the only person he’s done this to.

      The defense I’m suggesting isn’t “I thought he was of age!”. It’s that if there is actual evidence that shows conversations between them that confirms that Steele was mislead, that the boy impersonated an adult (and looked like one) — then he should be found not guilty. You can’t throw an innocent guy in jail just because some pedophiles might want to use the same defense. That’s ridiculous.

      1. No, Mikey, this is not about right and wrong, this is about what the law provides. First, in Pennsylvania mistake of fact is not a defense. The fact that the young may of have lied and misrepresented himself is of no consequence to the law. I understand your fraud argument but one of the reasons why Pennsylvania has not adopted it is because even in cases of sexual fraud you have a responsibility to be vigilant. Claiming that “he said he was of age” is far below the level of vigilance that the law presumes you should adopt. You may find that harsh, but the majority of these cases involve true sexual predators that prey on children and minors and the court nor society should create exceptions where the claim is comparable to your argument – the child acted like an adult.

        Second, not all sex offenses are equal in degree, but all sex offenses have victims. You are right, I do not know that Mr. Steele is a sexual predator, but you do not know that he is not. Even if we presume that he truly made a mistake, that is a matter that the judge may taken into consideration at sentencing, but I believe that the Judge or Jury would be right to uphold the strict liability quotient of the law because allowing for your type of exception would be truly harmful.

        Third, a young man that acts like an adult is still not an adult. Teenagers can physically do what adults can do, but that does not mean that they fully or rightly appreciate the consequences of their actions. That is why the law presumes that they are incapable of giving consent. You seem to fixate on the fact that this young man signed up for Jackd and pursued older men without stopping to ask whether this behavior necessarily constitutes adult behavior. A precocious eight or ten year old could sign up for Jackd and misrepresent himself, that no more means that they are adult than the the minor in question. In short, please stop arguing that the minor was not a victim simply because he did “adult” things like signing up for a cruising application. It is not convincing. Again, I am well aware of your defense, but the reality is that the law in Pennsylvania does not recognize it as a defense nor should they. Mr. Steele could have been more prudent and he was not, he wanted sex and that clouded his immediate judgment. That said, to win a conviction the State must still prove sex or sexual relations to win a judgment.

        1. Well thanks for finally answering my question. I respectfully choose to agree to disagree. I asked you to imagine knowing for a fact that Steele didn’t know and that there was no reason for him to distrust his hookup partner. You think even if he is innocent he should be found guilty to prevent others from using the defense of adult impersonation. I don’t. People shouldn’t be stereotyped and pigeonholed in the legal system, it should be a case by case basis. You said he should take a plea. That’s insane to me. If you KNOW you aren’t guilty of something, you should fight it. Saying you’re guilty to get a lesser sentence often comes with huge consequences. There are thousands of innocent people in jail and paying outrageous fines because they chose to not fight the system out of fear and because they had people telling them to just accept the punishment they don’t deserve.

          I would rather get 20 years in jail then plead guilty to a crime I didn’t commit. Once you make that plea, it’s basically in stone and you’re fucked for life. Your name is ruined.

          I’d direct you back up to my parsley hypothetical but whatever. We aren’t going to change our minds.

          If Steele didn’t know and the evidence is there to prove it, I still think he has a shot. And if he did know, that would be in the evidence and he would deserve his punishment. Everybody is innocent until proven guilty, though.

        2. Hey What, I decided to do a little research and found this: In Pennsylvania it is a defense to any sexual offense charge that depends on a child being below the age of 14, if the defendant can prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he reasonably believed the child to be above the critical age (Penn. Stat. Tit. 18 § 3102). It is also a defense to charges of corrupting a minor, if the minor is age 16 or older and the defendant believed the minor to be age 18 or older.

      2. Looked like an adult? You fucking pervert. Hope you’re on trial next. When I was 21, I was horny one night and hooked up with a guy via Craigslist that said he was 18. I got his address and was driving to get my dick sucked. When I got there, he looked a bit young or like he could be in high school. I asked to see ID. He wasn’t 18. He was 16 but he still wanted to do it. I refused and left. Went home and jacked off and was perfectly fine with it. You don’t mess with kids. If someone says they’re 18,19,20, you check.

        1. You’re calling me a pervert for debating the legal system with someone, and at the same time admitting that you troll for sex on Craigslist? Lmfao What if when you got to that kid’s house he didn’t look young to you? You probably wouldn’t have asked for an ID then. You’d be in the same situation as Mike, you “pervert”.

          For the record, I don’t hook up with people from the internet (thanks for over sharing though, lol). And secondly, I have ZERO interest in twinks. They’re unsexual to me. My type is more Trenton Ducati, Dylan Reece, Mike Dozer, Landon Conrad, David Boreanaz, and Dominic Monaghan. So, guys that are older than me and resemble cavemen lol. Way to assume, dude.

    2. Hey What, the Model Penal Code includes the mistake of age defense: The Model Penal Code contains a specific provision allowing mistake as to age, if the child is older than age 10 (Model Penal Code § 213. 6(1)). When the criminal conduct depends on the child being younger than 10, it is not a defense that the actor believed the child to be older than 10.

  5. ladies… none of you know the facts, so leave your speculation out and let the court decide. 2 major UK TV actors have been on trial for this kind of thing lately and the press is all over it. What the hell happened to innocent until proven guilty? Both actors were found not guilty but still their reputations are severly damaged by the “no smoke without fire” brigade.

    1. Weren’t we all eager to fuck grown men at one point or another when we were kids? Luckily for a lot of us, that never happened. Either way, kids do fucked up things. But it’s expected because kids and we don’t necessarily have the same experience as adults. Mike Dozer knew better. He deserves whatever he gets. Fucking slag

  6. What? is exactly right. Doesn’t matter if the kid lied or mislead Dozer. If sex happened between the two, Dozer is automatically guilty of statutory rape. It really isn’t a debatable issue. Perhaps his lawyer can plea bargain based on the circumstances most favorable to Dozer’s side and get less jail time. That’s about all that can be hoped for. Again, as far as the crime of statutory rape, it is a strict liability offense and all that matters is the true age of the sex partner. Doesn’t matter the perceived age, proclaimed age, documentation presented that portrays a fake age or any other fact in Dozer’s favor.

    1. Thank you Sean! I think that Mikey and the rest of Mr. Steele’s supporters find strict liability unpalatable as a legal concept. I believe they believe that there should be some mitigation when the other party is at fault, unfortunately that is not the case. What they do not realize is that we are not saying that the minor did not behave poorly, we are just saying that as a matter of law it does not matter. The minor’s behavior does not make Mr. Steele innocent under the law. If you sleep with a minor that is it, you are guilty of statutory rape regardless of your intent or knowledge. Oh well, the good things is that neither of us is Mr. Steele and hopefully that is true of everyone else on this board.

      1. A different state, but still, an attorney talking about a similar situation: “If you can prove that you honestly and reasonably believed that the alleged victim was over 18 at the time you had sex, you cannot be convicted under California statutory rape law. The types of evidence that can support your claim could include, for example: Statements made by the alleged victim that he/she was over the age of 18, His/her attire and general appearance, and Where you met the alleged victim (at an adult party or venue, for example).”

        It’s going to come down to the proof (real physical evidence), and if he’s got a good lawyer.

        1. In fact, you could even argue that it was Mike Dozer who was raped. “Fraud, along with force and coercion, is one of the three principal means by which a person can commit rape. Obtaining intercourse through fraud, just as through force and coercion, constitutes rape because it vitiates the consent of the victim.” It’s called “adult impersonation” and it’s rape by fraud.

          Also, “a rape perpetrator’s lack of consent is not a defense”.

          Remember, there are three principal means by which a person can commit rape.

          If a minor FORCES an adult to have sex with them (ex: through violence and/or a weapon), is the adult guilty of rape? NO.
          If a minor COERCES an adult into having sex (ex: getting them drunk/drugged, threatening them, blackmailing them, etc), is the adult guilty of rape? NO.
          If a minor commits FRAUD to have sex with an adult (ex: impersonating an adult and meeting them through an adult venue), is the adult guilty of rape? Well…?

          If fraud is no different than force or coercion, then why should the adult be guilty in that situation? I think if you can prove it (texts, emails, testimony, etc) – the adult who was lied to could win the case. If they have texts with the boy telling Mike he’s 18, and there are also texts showing that once Mike found out the truth that he broke off the relationship and wanted to end contact with the boy – and the boy wouldn’t stop pursuing him – he’s got a case for fraud. And if it hasn’t been done before, there’s no reason why this couldn’t be the first.

          Sometimes the law is wrong, and a case has to come along to change things up.

          1. Mikey, it is fine to discuss California, but this is Delaware and no such defense exists in that state. It is fine if you want to argue that this case should be a landmark one, but unless and until it goes before an Appeals court that will be sympathetic, that is not the law now. Right now the law is strict liability laden and all that the State need prove is sexual relations or sex, that is it. You can be frustrated by it, but your frustration does not change that fact. As for the California law, that defense has been successful in less than four percent of the cases where it is tried, why? Because jurors understand as we do that allowing that defense will be a virtual field day for NAMBLA and other such perverts. The Courts and society simply will not have it. There is no doubt that you are a spirited defender but your constant protest that the young man lied and therefore entrapped Mr. Steele does not mean that Mr. Steele is not guilty, it just means that they were both wrong. You also go on about the young man raping an adult by the use of fraud, not only is the legal theory a dubious one at best, but the reality is that even if that were true then in order for Mr. Steele to be the victim he would have to prove that he had sex with the young man and he would by implication give the state their statutory rape conviction. Two wrongs do not make a not-guilty. Mr. Steele would be wise to plead out.

          2. How can it be morally wrong for an adult to have sex with someone they believe is an adult (based on what they told them, what they look like, common sense, etc)? If you have no reason to doubt it, wtf? How can you call what Dozer did “wrong” if he really believed he was 18? Illegal does not equal immoral or wrong. Sometimes the law is wrong. And I’m not defending Dozer, I don’t even like him. I’m just passionate about injustice.

            If the evidence is what we’re speculating (that he HONESTLY didn’t know, that the boy lied, that he left when he found out the boy lied, etc)…then don’t you think Dozer DESERVES to be found not guilty? Regardless of whether you think it would happen? If someone deserves to be found not guilty, it shouldn’t be impossible to get that.

          3. Mikey, the updated link in the article states that Dozer DID know the victim was 14 and wanted to have sex with him anyway. His lawyer is most likely doing a PR spin, but it seems the police were getting email info, phone and text records, etc. on Dozer that show he was fully aware of what he was doing.

          4. Jeremy that line doesn’t show context. We don’t know if that is what the boy said to the police or if Steele said it. Steele’s attorney says otherwise.

  7. Idk why people think that the boy is so innocent he’s guilty too for one he’s on a site where hooks are on and where adults are on there too he wants to act like he’s older so really he’s too blame too

  8. One last thing: I’m sure many of his fans would like to believe that Mike Dozer had absolutely no intention to knowingly pursue someone that inappropriate. The unfortunate reality may be that because he did not remove himself from the alleged circumstance, he has now found himself in an extremely difficult situation. Certainly hope that he and the alleged victim come out of this unharmed and with their lives not ruined but more so with some wisdom and intelligence about making better choices for a good life.

    That’s why Mike Dozer also needs his friends around him now…to help him see reasaon, to hold him to task if that is necessary, and to remind him that he can be a good guy.

    Sendding him (and the alleged victim) good vibes and energy that he gets through all this a better man.

  9. [Edit] above should have said “…he needs his friends *now* more than ever”

    [Edit] further above should have said “it may well be that at best he did NOT use his better judgement”

  10. This is very disturbing news which fans of Mike Dozer are probably SHOCKED to hear. What is true is that noneof us knows all the facts in this case. And it probably does no good to rush to any judgements.

    If Mike Dozer has friends in the industry or in his world, he needs them *no* more than ever to show their support and let him know that he is still cared for.

    Don’t misunderstand….if these allegations are true, it’s a very bad thing to have done (an understatement); but if his friends/fans desert and isolate him now, who will be there to hear his side of things and maybe talk some sense into him.

    It may well be that at best, he simply did use his better jusgement and pursued something that he assumed would be okay…and it turned iut not to be. This is not to excuse the alleged actions….they are NOT good.

    He is innocent until proven guilty.

    In the meantime, his friends and fans and supporters who are closest to him need to be there for him….not discard him.

  11. this lawyer is an ass. comparing hiv to a sore throat or a cold? sore throats and colds go away. you dont have to go to doctors the rest of your life to be sure your cold meds are working, your hiv meds cost a bit more that your cold meds, do you have health ins to see a doctor for the rest of your life ? you have the added stress telling your family, sex partners, friends and co workers you are now hiv poz and if you dont tell them you have the added stress of wondering if this news will ever get out. do hiv meds affect everyone with out bad symptoms? his IS a BIG DEAL its not sure mild little annoyance like a fucking cold. i stopped fucking about 2 yrs ago. it became apparent that i was coming across more and more guys that lied about thier status. while i ALWAYS 100% in my life used condoms i would still go get tested but after a while the testing just unnerved me so much i just stopped fucking. it sucks i miss it but when i do i just reinforce in my mind how i felt being lied to by guys and what it felt like waiting for results. then i dont feel that bad. i find it interesting how the “experts” tell you if you use condoms you’ll be fine BUT GET TESTED ANYWAY???? duh! so condoms arent always so effective?? …

    1. I’m a foreigner. I never knew/saw this athlete and at a first glance I’ll realise he is a ‘kid’ not a 18 y. o. The porn performers that seem to be under 18 will be treated as ‘kids ‘ by me: No matter how passed around they are. If you look as a kid you must be a kid.

  12. I want to see this 14 year old to shut down,this theory of him looking 18+.To be honest i’d still know,no matter how tall someone is,you can tell the difference between a 14-18 year old…

  13. There are a few separate things I’d like to comment on here. First, It is possible that the kid was a mature looking 14 year old and it’s also possible that’s bs. Let’s be real, how many of us who use hook up sites or apps ever ask to see ID when we meet up? 90% of the time you’re not even getting the guys real name. It’s possible he got duped by the kid. Let’s try and remember that are some pretty dumb people out there who can easily be tricked. The kid could have looked older and also lied and said he was young looking for an 18 year old. In this day and age it can very tricky because teens have access to all these apps. They create fake birthdays and download the free versions of the apps or join websites as free members. My bf got duped a few years back and he only just found out recently the kid had lied. Over 3 years later. Granted the kid wasn’t 14, but he said he was 18 and about graduate high school. The kid even had a car a drove 40 minutes to my friends place. The kid was also very sexually experienced and apparently it showed. Flash forward to a few months ago and he found the kid was actually 16 (6 weeks away from turning 17) and high school junior. He was well built because he was very involved in football and baseball. He drove his car illegally with just a learners permit. I’m not saying Dozer did nothing wrong, I’m just saying it can possible to get tricked.
    My next point is that I actually agree with the lawyer on his stance of the HIV and being charged with reckless endangerment. I am not saying it’s not wrong, but I agree that people who knowingly have a contagious illness and hook up with some should all be held accountable, or none at all. HIV is not AIDS and it doesn’t mean an early death. It is very highly treatable and now considered by many doctors to be a chronic condition like diabetes (in treatment terms). With the right treatment and regular monitoring, people with HIV lead perfectly normal, long and healthy lives. But if you want to use the argument that it could lead to death, then the same should be said for the flu, strep throat, and many other illnesses. People can and do die from those diseases and other times can suffer permanent, severe effects. People who knowingly spread herpes and other STD’s that have no cure are never prosecuted. My point is if we are going to prosecute people who know they have HIV, we should follow the same protocol for anyone who has a contagious disease or illness. We should also consider the fact that many, many people engage in random sexual acts with strangers they meet online, through apps,or at bars. They have unprotected sex, or engage in sex acts without the use of protection with people they don’t know and are only meeting for the sole purpose of sex. Why shouldn’t that be taken into consideration? I am an attractive, fit, sexually active man in my early 30’s. I like to have my fun, but I play safe. I will say this, I have had my fair share of sex partners since I became sexually active (with men) at around 19. I have noticed a that over the course of that time, half of them would have not used protection if I hadn’t initiated it. This has become more common the last 5 or 6 years. Almost every guy I have ever hooked up with either tried to penetrate me bare, or tried to have me penetrate them bare. I was the one who always had to stop the action and insist on condoms. Only about 3 guys had actually done it without me having to prompt them. and 2 of those 3 tried to go bare after having hooked up just a few times. And almost none have ever done any type of oral with condoms. Let’s try and remember that getting tested for and type of STD’s or STI’s is not mandatory and even people who get regular checkups, it’s not part of routine check ups. You need to specifically ask your doctor test you. I guarantee that if everyone was made to be tested for all of these things, you’d see the number of cases in the world skyrocket.

  14. It has nothing to do with his bareback scene, but the guy has made my skin crawl since the first time I saw his snaggle toothed smile. BYE!

  15. A lot of the information in the article is “according to the victim”. I don’t think we can trust what a 14 year old on Jack’d has to say about anything. We shouldn’t jump to any conclusions about Mike Dozer’s intentions because the news release is very one-sided. Plus, the 14 year old is already a proven liar (using an app that explicitly says you have to be 18 and up).

    I think something important is left out of this story. How did it come to light? Did the 14 year old (who was cruising for guys on Jack’d and having sex with at least one of them) – suddenly feel like a rape victim and tell on Mike Dozer? That doesn’t sound logical. If a 14 year old is hooking up with guys online, there’s something wrong with them. Either mentally, emotionally, or in the home. So he either got caught, and the parents are treating Mike Dozer as a predator, or he’s disturbed and has some kind of agenda.

    This isn’t To Catch A Predator. This is a horny 14 year old who possibly could have passed as an adult, cruising for guys online, and then fucking at least one. If someone LOOKS like an adult, and tells you’re they’re an adult, why would you think to probe any further? To the people that are saying you’d know that a 14 year old is 14, I call bullshit on that. I’ve seen 14 year olds on American Idol that look like they’re in their 20s. I’ve also seen people who are in their 20s who look like they’re 14. I think this case is going to come down to physical evidence (the texts, emails, etc) because you can’t believe the testimony of a liar. If there’s evidence of him telling Mike his real age before they hooked up, then lock him up and throw away the key. If there isn’t, then there’s no case IMO unless Mike admits to knowing.

    1. “At some point, he came to the realization that this person wasn’t 18 and took off,” Wray (Mike Dozer’s attorney) said. “This kid kept pursuing him and apparently had done so with others.”

      THAT has a ring of truth to it. Sounds like the kid was obsessed and bitter.

    2. The problem with your entire analysis is that nothing that you wrote matters. Statutory rape is not dependent on whether the adult knew that his sexual partner was a child, nor does it depend on whether he had the intent to have sex with him. All the State has to prove is that he two of them had sex or sexual relations. Someone on Zach Sires new blog and SEAN on this thread, gave a really good explanation of the fact that statutory rape is a “strict liability” crime and that knowledge and intent are not necessary for a conviction. The reason why the law has made knowledge and intent irrelevant to this crime is because of the debate that you are having right now – does the kid look like he is 14 years old or older. If the courts allowed intent or knowledge to be the crime’s state of mind, then every defendant could claim that the child looked older by some subjective standard. The point is that at 14 years old you are not old enough to appreciate the consequences of your actions. You can be horny at that age, that is basic biology, but these laws are meant to protect youth who are not fully morally formed persons capable of making the reasonable decisions that us adults can make. Actually, lying on a dating application only shows that the young man is a typical teenager wanting to grow up too soon, not the sex crazed sociopath that you are trying to make him out to be. The long and short of it is that Steele, if he did not know, had an obligation to know and for that reason he will go to jail for choosing not to know. His attorney knows well that his job is to prove that his client did not have sex or sexual relations with the boy, because if the prosecutor is able to prove otherwise, then well, his client is going to jail for a very long time. If I were Steele I would be working on cutting a plea bargain that will at least see him freed before his 50th birthday.

      1. It’s not that the kid might just look 18. It’s also that he met him allegedly after being told by the boy that he was 18. And the fact that they met via an adult hookup app, where you have to be 18 and up. If he can prove the boy lied to him and didn’t give him any reason to suspect he was lying, he has a case. It’s like what happened with Brent Corrigan doing porn with adult models when he was actually lying about his age (and he was a minor). He even had a fake ID. So what are you supposed to do, in Dozer’s shoes? Get a copy of the guy’s birth certificate before you bone him? Bull CRAP on that. Nothing in this story suggests that Mike was looking for a minor, or that he had any doubts about the boy being 18. This is a special situation and not a typical statutory rape case.

        According to Dozer’s attorney the kid wouldn’t leave him alone after he split, and that he was doing this to other men too. So, we’ll see.

        1. Again Mikey, you are grossly missing the point of a strict liability crime. The state does not need to prove Steele’s knowledge of the minor’s age. If he had any sexual relations or sex with the minor he is, for lack of a better way of saying it, automatically guilty of the crime. The minor’s ill advised actions do not mitigate Steele’s culpability. All the Prosecutor has to show is that he had some sort of inappropriate contact and Delaware will have met its burden. The young man could have sent dirty pictures, could have called him telling him to “come get it”, could have been standing there naked with his anus exposed, he could be a habitual liar, he could be an emotionally distraught mess, he could even look as old as 40, and none of that will matter. The only thing that will matter is what Mr. Dozer has done and I believe that based on his lawyers admission and the evidence from the police that there was some sort of contact. As I said before, this is the reason why the crime is strict liability so that you do not give a purp the ability to say I thought that he was of age. The creation of that defense would allow for more harm than the limitation of it does in Mr. Steele’s case. You talk about the absurdity of having to ask for more identification to verify a person’s age, but if you are going to use an application where you know that men regularly and consistently mislead and lie about who they are, you cannot then plead ignorance when one of those men do exactly what you presume they can and will do. This case is by no means an exception, it sadly is all too common if you check the statistics. Certainly, he will have his day in Court, but short of claiming that they did not engage in any sexual relations or sex with the minor his day in Court will not end well.

          1. I think you’re the one not getting it. He didn’t just hook up with him “thinking” the boy was 18. The boy LIED and said he was 18. If he looked 18 and the evidence shows that Mike WANTED an 18 year old, there’s no case. If anyone should be at fault in that situation, it’s the boy’s parents for not properly supervising him. This isn’t an innocent kid getting hit on by a perv in a Disney Channel chatroom. This is a kid who allegedly manipulated this man into thinking he was an adult, and used that lie to have sex with him.

            If someone tells you they are 18 and they look 18, and you have no reason to doubt them (because you aren’t looking for anyone underage at an adult hookup site), then how can the blame be on Mike Dozer? Seriously. Was he supposed to use a crystal ball? Should we expect men to have that carnie ability to guess people’s ages?

            It would be like buying parsley at the grocery store and then getting arrested because it was actually weed. “He should have known it was weed, even though it’s in a grocery store and it’s labeled as parsley and looks just like parsley. He should have assumed it was weed, or at least asked someone to verify for him if it was weed or not. When he ate it and got high, he realized it was weed and threw it away, but by that point he had already committed a crime.” Such bullshit.

          2. I think “What” most likely has the legal case correct – Sadly. But “Mikey” has the moral case correct. In my humble opinion. The law is likely to see Dozer’s actions as stat rape no matter what age he thought the boy was. But yes,Mikey, the boy lied to him on an ADULT app and so therefore can we morally blame Mike Dozer? Mikeys analogy of buying parsley is a good one. Could’t we all find ourselves in this situation? Luckily for me I only like older daddy types anyway. So unless a 14 y old looks like a daddy, I should be ok. Haha

          3. In Pennsylvania it is a defense to any sexual offense charge that depends on a child being below the age of 14, if the defendant can prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he reasonably believed the child to be above the critical age (Penn. Stat. Tit. 18 § 3102). It is also a defense to charges of corrupting a minor, if the minor is age 16 or older and the defendant believed the minor to be age 18 or older.

  16. So did Raging Stallion and Cocksure Men knowingly employ an HIV+ model and let him screw models who are HIV- or should we assume every person he screwed in porn (like Tommy Defendi and Charlie Harding) also have HIV?

  17. Why are porn star’s HIV status considered private medical information when they are doing porn then considered public knowledge when they get arrested or go bareback?

    1. Steele’s status is directly relevant to the crimes he’s accused of. I’m pretty sure that if he was being charged with robbery his HIV status wouldn’t have come up.

  18. Like Mike Dozer doesn’t get enough sex to not have to troll apps to begin with. Primarily, this is what can happen when sexuality takes a disproportionate role in someone’s life (is there a person in there or just a sex and probably drug addict?), and secondly I wouldn’t be too quick to judge what actually happened here without all the facts. The kid might have totally deceived him. At least in jail he won’t be hard up for sex.

  19. You are right, Sean. BB also has a point, as people can be “inquisitive” in the teen years, sometimes looking more mature than they are- but, bottom line, ADULTS can (and should) use care to avoid under-age people.

  20. Unfortunately for Dozer, statutory rape is has strict liability. Mistake is not a defense. Intent is not necessary. If you have sex with someone underage regardless the reason, you are guilty of statutory rape. Minors can’t consent. So, it doesn’t matter whether he made an “innocent mistake” or that the minor misled him.

    1. That’s not entirely correct. Because the minor was 14, Dozier/Steele can assert the affirmative defense of “mistake of age”. This shifts the burden to Dozier/Steele to prove that it was more likely than not (and not beyond a reasonable doubt) that his belief that the minor was of legal age was reasonable. Had the minor been only 13 then it would be strict liability and Dozier/Steele would not get to make that argument. This based on Pennsylvania law and may not be true in other states.

  21. We don’t know what the kid looked like but there are a lot of high school age kids that can pass for 18 plus. And if you meet someone on an app like Jack’d you assume they’re of age…the word rape in statutory rape makes it so harsh. I’m by no means reducing the severity of the situation but this young boy on Jack’d probably knew who he was talking to and what he was doing and asking for.

    1. I don’t give a fuck if he knew what he was asking for. He is a CHILD. You don’t mess with kids. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

  22. ” HIV does not equals AIDS “: Wrong…You can ‘ control/menage ‘ AIDS till a certain point but if you were infected by HIV you have AIDS.
    This man – Mike Dozer – is a fucking perv. No wonder he does porn.

    1. LMAO WRONG!!!

      When you get infected, you get infected with HIV. HIV, if you do everything right, can be very manageable and you can live an almost normal for the rest of your life. If you do nothing to manage/control HIV, it develops into AIDS after time and there is no way to diminish the severity of it, and you will die due to complications from it. So yes the statement is true, HIV doesn’t always equal AIDS.

      1. Thanks for clarify. Now I know…People are ” SANE ” when ” INFECTED ” because they go to heavy medications…SANE but INFECTED and USING MEDICINE for the rest of their lives…Very sane, indeed.

    2. Aramis, you are mistaken. HIV and AIDS are completely two separate definitions. HIV is the presence of the virus, AIDS is a condition of the immune system. One can be HIV positive (ie. the presence of the virus exists) yet not have AIDS, which I dare say is the norm now with the advancement in medications such as Truvada and Isentress which are used in combination to surpress the virus to undetectable levels, this making the ability to pass HIV nearly impossible. AIDS results when medications fail or a patient fails to follow treatment thus resulting in CD4/T cell count falling below 200 cells per uL, a time when passing the virus is much easier.

      Please people, educate yourself before you make comments that are inaccurate and continue to spread false information about HIV.

      1. Sorry but your definition doesn’t change the reality: HIV is linked with AIDS. No matter if you can delay, mitigate or completely avoid AIDS. If you get infected you have a health condition: The result of have gotten infected ( Call it only HIV it doesn’t change your status ).

    3. @Aramis – NO. HIV does NOT equal AIDS. Being HIV+ does NOT mean you have AIDS. It is 2014 get your head out of 1985 and apparently your ass.

          1. Stop talking peanut. You have zero credibility or information to contribute to any discussion about HIV. I’m just glad at least some prople have bothered to educate themselves in the last 30 years this virus had been around.

    4. You comments are filled with hatred when they should be filled with facts. Disappointing that you are behaving so poorly that I must equate your online behavior and ignorance to the members of the Westboro Baptist Church.

    5. You couldn’t be further from the truth. With adequate medication HIV can be managed and with further medication can be virtually negated. Educate yourself.

  23. I am sorry – has any of you seen most teen age boys out there in high school…it is plausible that a 14 year old boy can pass for some one who is 18 because they have the genes

    Come on – it is not unheard of.

    I just hope he is telling the truth about noticing it when he did.

    1. Not the teens from my area, and I see them all the time in public bus they look tiny and prepubescent. Maybe the ones in more rural areas look bigger, but not city kids.

    2. I was over 6 feet tall, and my best friend was also over 6 feet tall at 14. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him because he lied to older girls and even women over 18 saying that he was over 18 and they believed him! So it does happen all the time. It was stupid looking back on it, the things teens do when they know they can pass for adults and fool people. The bottom line is always ask for I.D. and proof of age if you are in doubt, this is exactly what Mike Dozer should have done, and showed him the door if they didn’t have I.D.

  24. I think the “Tag Adams” thing was particularly bad- though I have never seen the formal complaint that might outline the actions, nor his eventual guilty plea if it is out there, i have not seen it (Anyone know?).

    To the best of my knowledge “Tag Adams” *not his real name*, exchanged emails and calls with a guy and set up a meeting with the man, who suggested he had access to minor, and that narcotics that “Tag” was to bring were involved.

    Assuming that is correct, he knew what he was supposedly getting into. Pretty revolting.

    Not sure what happened to “Tag” as when he worked at a local DC strip club 10 or more years ago, he seemed more attracted to OLDER guys, and was affable and articulate enough, if a bit off. He had a good run in the industry, for his second go around in the industry.

    Then something went wrong- he supposedly had a deal with RSS to direct/write/produce, but that never occurred. Just as a guess, I think meth (or something) became a priority, and perhaps there were mental issues. He was pretty well known in DC for being a bit over the edge, running graphic escort ad’s and hanging out in a local bathhouse ( and according to the owner, sometimes refusing to leave..).

    In any event, one does NOT get involved with under-age people. As for Mike, I agree with others who have posted – a 14 year old does not look or sound like someone 18+.

    Very unfortunate. I am not sure if it is a sincere pedo thing, a drug thing , or a just “I won’t get caught” thing. I do know THIS: The legit adult industry will never tolerate such actions, correctly.

    In any event

  25. Did you ppl celebrate when Tag Adams was convicted for a similar offense? Or did he not “deserve it” b/c he never appeared in a bareback scene?

    1. I don’t believe that Tag Adams was ever the poster boy for condom free HIV-positive sex. One of the most utterly stupid things that anyone can support. Tag Adams has just faded away.

  26. Aaaaand there you have it.
    That’s what you get for messing with your stupid tee-shirt “Condoms are for pussies”.

    Sorry Mike, you should have known better. Karma is a bigger bitch than you.

  27. what a fucking moron. Reckless endangerment charges are not due to homophobia- it’s because you put someone under risk of getting HIV (i.e. an early death sentence) and massive medical bills. the fact that he has to monitor his HIV status regularly just goes to show how harmless/dangerous HIV is.
    He didn’t know he was 14? Really? No 18 year old looks 14.
    Disgusting.

    1. That remark about 14 year olds is not true, and it has not been true for a long time.. I am stating facts here, some teenage boys are developed already at even as young as 13 at over 6 feet tall, like myself for example. I was already close to 6 feet at age 13, and looked way older than my age. I am not excusing this behavior, but your opinion is based on plain ignorance. There are many 14/15 year old males and females who can pass for 18+ and unfortunately they take advantage of it by doing things they shouldn’t be doing until they are older. Maybe situations like this can be avoided, if in doubt ask for I.D. assuming they don’t have fake I.D. that is.

      1. Dozer, Mr. “Condoms are for pussies” is such a trashy dirtbag on so many levels. Maybe a 14 year old can resembles an 18 year old. But it’s very rare. And anyone with a brain would question the legality of someone that “looked 18” Or even 21 for that matter. Fuck him. There are plenty of worthwhile gay men that need our support. He’s not someone that the gay community should waste a second defending or rationalizing their behavior.

  28. “Dozer was not aware that the boy was underage” my ass.

    At any rate, I’m confused. The 14-year-old was on a site he wasn’t supposed to be on (Jack’d is 18+), was involved enough with Dozer to get him to come all the way to his place BUT didn’t want to have sex? I’m so confused. Need more facts. The only thing that rings true is that Mike’s a scumbag for raping people.

    As hot as he is, you’d think he’d be able to pull a legal 18-year-old that would fulfill his fantasy of doing a younger guy.
