Gay.com reports that in court records released last week, former 'Tempation Island 2' tempter Tony Vanchieri, 27, a gym teacher in Broward County, Fla. who appeared in a gay porn movie, claims he was misled into believing the video was for modeling scouts. Vanchieri was put on desk duty after MSNBC published a story on its Web site in December that Vanchieri was in the porn video "Solo Guys: Volume 1" (a story that we also reported on when it occurred.)

In records released to the public on July 19, Vanchieri tells a court investigator he had been drugged at a party in West Palm Beach and unwittingly became a part of the porn video there. He said he attended the party after getting a call back from an ad searching for models. There Vanchieri said a producer gave him a pill and then asked him to pose as a pool boy wrestling with a homeowner for a video. According to the record, Vanchieri said he was led to believe the tape would be sent to Los Angeles for sports modeling jobs. He said he only got concerned when the producer asked him to fake oral sex.
The documents said Vanchieri got a $200 traveler's check and the producer had him sign "something." Later in the video Vanchieri appears nude. There is also video of the teacher taking off his underwear. Vanchieri was not available for comment. In June, the Broward school board recommended Vanchieri be fired for the appearance. Vanchieri appealed the recommendation, asking for a hearing with an administrative law judge.
