In a turn of events that has shocked fans, Drake Von, the award-winning bisexual porn star, has been arrested in Las Vegas. The OnlyFans creator allegedly attempted to strangle his partner during a domestic dispute, leading to his arrest on Tuesday, June 2. TMZ reports that the 23-year-old faces several charges, including domestic battery by strangulation and coercion related to domestic violence.
The incident reportedly occurred at a luxurious million-dollar home in Las Vegas, where Von resides. Though Drake Von is known to be publicly involved with fellow adult content creator Mark LAX, the identity of the partner at the heart of this incident remains undisclosed. Currently, Von is being held in a Vegas jail cell, with a bond set at $25,000 (£18,603) as he awaits trial.
“This isn’t just a publicity stunt. I want to spread the word about safe sex and educate the masses.”
The arrest arrives on the heels of Von's debut on OUTtv’s reality show, Ultimate Boys Trip, which released in late April 2026. The show featured other prominent gay adult stars like Joey Mills and Max Konnor.
Drake Von has never been one to shy away from controversy. In 2025, he announced his ambitious "1,000 bottoms" challenge, aiming to have sex with 1,000 men in a single day. The challenge sparked debate and was intended to raise awareness about safe sex. "Subscribing to my OnlyFans gets you a one-way ticket into being a participant in this challenge," Von shared in an interview with PRIDE. Although initially a joke, Von admitted that the challenge gained traction, prompting him to take it seriously.
Despite the hype, there has been no footage or final date set for the challenge, though Von assures fans that planning is "well underway." As one of OnlyFans’ top earners, Von has made quite a name for himself, especially after moving to Las Vegas in 2024. His accolades include winning awards for Best Twink and Hottest All-Male Creator Collab at the 2024 GayVN Awards.
