Joanne Cachapero of the Free Speech Coalition swears up and down on a stack of bibles that there are only two performers who have tested positive for The Syph.

Meanwhile Dr. Jonathan Fielding, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, is saying nine and that’s the number the mainstream press is going with.

Who do you believe? Cachapero is also of the opinion that the second performer isn’t likely to come forward as Marcus did. Check that. Even Lexington Steele who was on the show and counts Marcus as his mentor had to admit that ball really wasn’t in Marcus’ court to begin with.

“He was outed,” said Steele.

Cachapero was a phone-in Wednesday night to James Bartholet’s Inside the Industry Web show. Diane Duke didn’t come on because of scheduling conflicts. One might imagine because the uproar from the Mr. Marcus story earlier in the afternoon has the porn natives very restless.

Marcus held a press conference this week in which he admitted testing positive to syphilis then jerry-rigging his test with the alleged help of a TTS employee.

Bartholet began the show by playing the voicemail www.adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=55573 of Marcus apologizing for his role in the drama.
