An Australian rugby star is speaking out for the first time after x-rated screenshots from a gay porn video he filmed while he was a young prospect starting out in rugby league, leaked online this week.
Penrith Panthers player Kurt Capewell notified police and the NRL integrity unit last year when an individual tried to sell the images of him in a sexual act with another man. “I’ve lived with this for years,” the 27-year-old told The Daily Telegraph. “I’ve been concerned more for my family that it could come out and the embarrassment it would cause.” Capewell and his manager approached The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday to share his story after the seven-year-old video from porn websites and online forums went viral in recent days.
