Drake Von's Arrest Shocks Fans

Drake Von, a prominent name in the gay adult film industry, has found himself in hot water. The 23-year-old, whose real name is Dawson Bacon, was taken into custody in Las Vegas after an alleged confrontation with his partner turned violent. According to TMZ, Von faces two felony charges: domestic battery by strangulation and coercion constituting domestic violence. Additionally, he has been slapped with a misdemeanor charge for domestic battery.

Authorities allege that he attempted to strangle his partner in their Las Vegas residence. Currently, Von is detained with a bond set at $25,246. The arrest surprised many fans and followers who also know him from his OnlyFans account, "The Baconator Twins," which he runs with his identical twin brother, Silas Brooks.

A Rising Star's Recent Highlights

Before this legal turmoil, Drake Von was riding high in his career. In January, he co-hosted the 2026 GayVN Awards at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, a nod to his rising status in the industry. This followed his wins from the previous year, including a coveted award for the Hottest All-Male Creator Collaboration and Favorite Twink.

Just a month prior to his arrest, Von made headlines with a candid interview on "Love Don’t Judge," hosted by fellow OnlyFans creator Mark LAX. During the conversation, Von spoke openly about a 20-year age difference relationship, sparking curiosity and speculation among fans.

“A lot of people think we’re faking this,” Von commented on his relationship with Mark. “I never thought I could be in a serious relationship with a man...until I met Mark.”
