Drake Von, one of the most recognizable young performers in gay adult entertainment, was arrested in Las Vegas this week and is facing multiple domestic violence-related charges.
According to court records cited by TMZ, the performer, whose legal name is Dawson Bacon, was taken into custody on June 2 following an alleged incident involving his partner. He has been charged with domestic battery by strangulation, coercion constituting domestic violence with threat or use of physical force, and misdemeanor domestic battery.
The felony charges are considered serious offenses under Nevada law.
Authorities allege that the incident occurred at the couple’s Las Vegas residence.
At the time of publication, the allegations had not been tested in court and Drake Von remains innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The arrest comes during a period of significant visibility for the 23-year-old performer.
Over the past several years, Von has become one of the best-known young names in gay adult entertainment, earning industry recognition and building a large online following.
Earlier this year, he co-hosted the GayVN Awards in Las Vegas, one of the industry’s most prominent annual events.
He has also attracted attention through collaborative content with his identical twin brother, Silas Brooks.
News of the arrest quickly spread across LGBTQ+ media and entertainment circles, prompting reactions from fans and industry observers.
Domestic violence organizations frequently emphasize that allegations involving intimate partners should be taken seriously while allowing the legal process to determine the facts of a case.
Court proceedings are expected to provide additional details as the matter moves forward.
For now, many questions remain unanswered, including whether Drake Von will publicly respond to the allegations.
The case is still in its early stages, and additional information is expected to emerge in the coming week.
