In early January, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Sarasota, Florida arrested and charged Edmon Vardanyan, 23, with “traveling in interstate commerce with intent to kill, injure, harass or intimidate another person,” following four alleged attempts to threaten a Florida couple into paying a debt. Mr. Vardanyan is better known to gay adult industry fans as Jet Set exclusive Nickolay Petrov. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years imprisonment. The FBI has investigated him for stalking Grigori Komissarchuk, 69, and Galina Komissarchuk, 64, both of Sarasota. Per a news report, the stalking began “in September of 2006 at the couple’s other home in Brooklyn, New York when Vardanyan acted as a deliveryman and tried to hit the husband. The next day the man was hit in the head with a blunt object. He was beaten, kicked and lost consciousness and any memory of how the attack ended.” Eric Kuske, Mr. Vardanyan’s attorney, has denied the allegations. It’s not clear at the moment where he is currently being held. Click here for more details…

In December of 2006, in Sarasota, Mrs. Komissarchuk was attacked by a man with a hammer, who also broke into their home and attacked Mr. Komissarchuk. Both identified Mr. Vardanyan as the suspect from a photo lineup. He has allegedly admitted to detectives that he had been hired for a fee of $2000 to intimidate the couple into paying off a debt, and that a hit to kill the couple had been discussed with a price of $10,000 apiece. He had not been paid because “he didn’t do the job correctly,” according to a published report.

I called Jet Set and spoke to Head of Production Chris Steele, who said the company was unaware of these developments. I also spoke today with Mr. Vardanyan’s booking agency, Fabscout Entertainment. A company rep told me they knew he had been arrested and offered support to his family.

Nickolay Petrov is nominated for two GAYVN Awards at next week’s ceremony, Best Group Scene for COMMUNION (Hot House) and Best Threesome for Jet Set’s JUST ADD WATER. Both films are also up for Best Picture.

    Wow!!! I’m stunned. I met him a couple of times and he was always VERY polite.

  4. Anonymous on February 5, 2008 3:47 pm

    That’s insane. Why, why, why, why? I can’t fucking believe what I’m reading here.

  5. ricci on February 5, 2008 4:44 pm

    well, why i admit there’s something undeniably hot about the guy there’s also something undeniably ‘unnatural’ about him.
    It’s all in his eyes, moreover all scenes i saw him doing was just fuck the guy with a certain look of disdain or even hatred in his eyes. He never enjoyed himself (gay for pay) and i for one never ‘warmed up’ to him for some reason; that my intuition was not wrong is now sadly enough proven. Wish it were otherwise. Gruesome, some porn’stars’ are really losing it…

  6. Barry on February 5, 2008 5:05 pm

    I never got the impression from Nickolay Petrov that he had disdain for his partners. Maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention and I will check it out again. This is shocking news.-Barry

  7. DeWayne on February 5, 2008 5:31 pm

    He is a good performer and in one of his vids Rafael Allencar’s he was exceptional!

    GayVN will be VERY interesting Next week wonder if he wins! ;-)

  8. Sinu' on February 6, 2008 3:28 am

    Real creepy!

  9. Sinu' on February 6, 2008 3:28 am

    Real creepy!

  10. Becky Isabech on February 6, 2008 8:31 am

    WOW – Nickolay Petrov is the very first gay porn star mob hit man.

  11. DeWayne on February 6, 2008 9:35 am

    God Damn all these DimBulb Porn Stars

    Velvet Mafia was a PORNO, a Campy Movie not
    “Crime 101 for PornStar Dummies”

    Geesh!

  12. Patrick on February 6, 2008 10:04 am

    Don’t know why anyones suprised here..is it because your looking @ an attractive guy with a nice body..most are a stone throws away from being criminals..bottom line is these guys are in it for the money..the gay for pay ones are the ones to watch out for..deep down most despise gay men..i’m sure there will be more going dow this road..not being able to come to terms with themselves..i hope these studios take a long hard look at hiring these guys…guess we’re running short of goodlooking GAY men to perform in these movies!

  13. Chris on February 6, 2008 1:33 pm

    Patrick is right on. The porn companies need to take warning. I haven’t heard about this happening to any gay performers, only the straight ones. Repeatedly. “Gay for pay” guys are so much more desperate than the gay perfomers. They can turn on any of you in a heartbeat and have done so.All I can say is “Watch you back!!!”

  14. Anonymous on February 6, 2008 2:50 pm

    another insecure gay Iranian

  15. Bill in S.F. on February 6, 2008 3:24 pm

    He’s Armenian-Russian, not Iranian. But point taken.

    The gorgeous Niko is also Armenian. He was trouble as well, so I hear. Not like this, certainly, but problematic. And reportedly heterosexual as well.

  16. Marion Paige on February 7, 2008 12:39 pm

    So, I will ask the obvious question …

    Where was Nickolay Petrov on January 24, 2007?

    And then, there is this little teaser …

    How many degrees of separation are there between Brent Corrigan and Nickolay Petrov?

  17. jim on February 7, 2008 2:22 pm

    “How many degrees of separation are there between Brent Corrigan and Nickolay Petrov?”

    That’s easy: Two, with Chris Steele being the single intermediary link.

  18. DeWayne on February 7, 2008 2:33 pm

    yeah and Chris Steele made the Velvet Mafia Joe and Harlows “How to” guide to “the Gay Porn Mafia” or how to bump off your “Gay Porn Rival”

    Patrick Harlow and Joe are total Homo’s
    Unfortunately!

    I do agree most of the sketchy characters in gay porn are “Gay for pay”

  19. JC Adams on February 7, 2008 2:35 pm

    Oh, god, people aren’t going to try and link the Kocis/Corrigan/Cuadra/Kerekes mess with Nickolay Petrov, are they…?

    Regards,
    JCA

  20. DeWayne on February 7, 2008 2:48 pm

    Uh I have news for you JC “someone” already has LOL

  21. jim on February 7, 2008 5:55 pm

    “Oh, god, people aren√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t going to try and link the Kocis/Corrigan/Cuadra/Kerekes mess with Nickolay Petrov, are they√¢‚Ǩ¬¶?”

    It was inevitable.

  22. jack feiry (velvet goldmine) on February 8, 2008 2:14 pm

    I KNOW THAT IT ISN’T SO IMPORTANT NOW,BUT IN HIS INTERVIEW ON “COCKY BOYS” HE SAYS TO BE REALLY
    BISEXUAL AND NOT STR8.

    We need a Savior because we are sinners,
    and the wages of sin is death…

    Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift:
    Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
    is the object of our faith; the only faith that saves
    is faith in Him.

    The Way of Love

    If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
    but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging
    cymbal.

    And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all
    mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith,
    so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

    If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body
    to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

    Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast;
    it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its
    own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not
    rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

    Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
    endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they
    will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for
    knowledge, it will pass away.

    For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the
    perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

    When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a
    child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave
    up childish ways.

    For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.
    Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have
    been fully known.

    So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three;
    but the greatest of these is love.

    1 Corinthians 13 ESV

    i bless you in the name of LOVE;
    i bless you in yeshuas name,
    sdg, tjm

    You are full of shit!

  26. Mike on March 16, 2008 10:10 pm

    Thinking of how Elliot Spitzer’s whore will make out great, maybe this guy should have met Jim McGreevey before he fell from grace.

  27. Jon Joseph Artates on June 8, 2008 10:28 am

    Well despite his talented abilities as a porn star the man is sick. Although I did have my homocidal moments…but I would never act on such a thing. I’d probably harm myself than hurting someone else physically, emotionally thats a different story. It is what it is. Its ashame that it had to happen.

  28. Petrov on June 20, 2008 10:19 pm

    He was from Armenia, what did you expect?

  29. devon on August 19, 2008 3:55 pm

    i danced with him at swinging richards last summer… to be honest, i’m not surprised
