A male porn star has taken the blame for the current syphilis outbreak that has closed down the adult film industry in Los Angeles.
After Mr Marcus contracted the bacterial infection on set, he altered his syphilis-positive test so he could continue performing.
The 18-year veteran actor’s admission came after the industry’s self-imposed 10 day moratorium which has sen more than 1,000 performers in the Los Angeles area get tested and administered preventative antibiotics.
