Gay porn site Blake Mason has removed videos featuring Daryll Rowe, the Scottish man who was in April sentenced to life imprisonment for deliberately infecting five sexual partners with HIV.

The Scottish hairdresser appeared in films for the studio in 2014 and 2015, and went by the name Benjamin York.

Rowe’s Blake Mason bio reportedly read: ‘This buff Scottish guy is so hot we could film him for days and never get bored.’

During his trial, it also emerged that Rowe had tried to infect five more men by tampering with condoms after they declined to have bareback sex with him.

Rowe, who discovered he was HIV positive in 2015, must now spend a minimum of 10 years in prison.

He reportedly sent goading messages to his victims. One text read: ‘Maybe you have the fever cos I came inside you and I have HIV, lol. Whoops!’

‘It’s pretty disgusting that sites are still trying to make money from them’

One of Rowe’s victims was quoted by The Scottish Sun as saying: ‘It’s pretty disgusting that sites are still trying to make money from them.’

The unnamed person furthermore added: ‘They should be taken down as a courtesy to people like me.’

He also said: ‘He told me he wanted to do more porn and needed a partner to appear with.

‘I needed the money, so said yes. Rowe claimed he was clean so we didn’t use condoms.’

Gay Star News has approached Blake Mason for comment.
