Adult Film Star Drake Von Arrested in Las Vegas on Domestic Battery Charges

Drake Von, whose legal name is Dawson Bacon, has been arrested and is facing serious criminal charges following an incident in Las Vegas.

The 23-year-old was taken into custody on Tuesday, June 2, after an alleged altercation with his partner at their Las Vegas residence. According to reports, Von has been charged with two felonies: domestic battery by strangulation and coercion constituting domestic violence with threat or use of physical force, as well as a misdemeanor count of domestic battery. Law enforcement alleges that he attempted to strangle his partner. He is currently being held on a $25,246 bond.

Beyond his work in adult entertainment, Von has built a following alongside his identical twin brother Silas Brooks through their joint OnlyFans account, "The Baconator Twins." Earlier this year, he co-hosted the 2026 GayVN Awards at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on January 22. The previous year, he took home awards for Hottest All-Male Creator Collab and Favorite Twink.

In April, Von participated in an interview with Love Don't Judge host Mark LAX, a 42-year-old OnlyFans creator. During the conversation, he discussed a romantic connection between the two men, which marks a significant shift in his personal history. Von reflected on his previous dating patterns, noting that he had relationships with women throughout high school before meeting LAX. He described feeling curious about relationships with men but credited LAX with helping him become more comfortable with that aspect of himself.

The nature of Von's current relationship status and whether the person involved in the domestic incident is connected to his public romantic involvement remains unclear at this time.
