Deceased Gay Porn Star, Joshua Berlin’s Death Might Be Linked To ‘Meth-For-Sex’ Scandal

A former Colorado lawman with a record so distinguished he was once honored as the nation’s sheriff of the year now finds himself in a jail that was named for him, is accused of offering methamphetamine in exchange for sex with men.

Now, former Sheriff Sullivan, age 68, is no longer the tough-talking lawman. He is the “old man” who a 911 caller asked police to remove from his home and the one accused of offering methamphetamine to a man in exchange for sex.

How he went from being voted the nation’s sheriff a decade ago to getting bailed out of the jail that bears his name has perplexed many in an affluent Colorado county, where he served as top-cop for decades.

Colorado law enforcement officals are now looking deeper into an unsolved investigation of a January 26, 2011 drowning of 27-year-old Sean Moss (photo right), a former gay porn performer who used the stage name, Joshua Berlin, and the autopsy for whom showed intoxication from meth and gamma-hydroxybutryic acid, or GHB, best known as a date rape drug. Less than two weeks before Moss’s death, Sullivan reportedly posted bail for Moss’s arrest in a domestic violence case involving another man in a Denver suburb. Police say Moss’s case remained open because the coroner could not determine the cause of death.

Moss, also used to work at the Triple C Bathhouse in Denver. Several patrons of the bathhouse have come forward claiming Sullivan was a regular at the Triple C following a recent search of the establishment by police on Friday.

Sullivan recommended Moss for a job as a security guard for the local high school, where Moss worked only for 13 day prior to his body turning up in the Platt River.

Was it an accident, suicide, or homicide?
