So, whatcha think about this? The kid had to know he might be discovered. His employer told him so and well...we all know porn reaches across all of society.

Is how he paid for school important? Oh and what about the idea of hating the sin and not the sinner?

The article does not mention whether he signed a code of conduct, something that would be relevant I would think. Does gay sex negate his accomplishments in his classes in molecular biology? What does one have to do with the other?

Any thoughts ladies and gentlemen?

Christian college discovers porn career of student from Berks, suspends him

If everything had gone according to plan, John Gechter would have been studying Thursday for a final exam - one of his last obligations before graduation from Grove City College with a degree in molecular biology.

Instead, the 2005 Muhlenberg High School graduate was suspended and the chances are slim that he'll be attending the weekend ceremonies on campus.

For the past two years, Gechter, 22, has been paying the bills through his secret life as gay porn star "Vincent DeSalvo," earning as much as $11,000 per weekend while jetting off to Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles to film videos.

He did so without telling a soul on the 2,300-student campus in Mercer County.

But on April 23, a fellow student at the college that describes itself as "authentically Christian" found Gechter's work on the Web and forwarded evidence of his secret identity to friends. The next day, Gechter had a meeting with administrators.

His punishment: an indefinite suspension and a prohibition from re-applying for admission until the fall of 2010. A Grove City appeals board turned down his initial appeal. One is pending.

Gechter, who said he is bisexual, had been warned by his employers in the adult film industry that his identity would likely become known.

Though Gechter said that his porn career opened doors in modeling and acting, he now wishes that he hadn't done it, given the academic consequences and the pain it has caused his religious family.

When he broke the news, his mother started praying and fasting. His father was upset, but said that they still loved him.

what about the person that seen the video/s

what was their standing in the school

and are they being punished for watching the video/s

and how are they proving to the board he did the videos

are the board members watching the video/s

and if so does that not make them even more in need of punishment as they are setting a double standard as to them being permitted to watch as compared to him being in the video/s

and besides do they tell strippers they do not gt to graduate if they payed for school stripping

i hope he sues the school get his diploma and a big check to get him started

but hey

what do i know
