Drake Von Hospitalization Forces Delay in Las Vegas Battery & Robbery Trial

The legal troubles surrounding gay-for-pay adult performer Drake Von (legal name Dawson Bacon) took another unexpected turn in a Las Vegas courtroom earlier this week when a scheduled preliminary hearing was abruptly continued following news of his hospitalization.

Von was set to appear before a judge regarding serious felony battery and robbery charges stemming from an arrest back in June. However, proceedings were halted as defense counsel disclosed that the performer was currently receiving medical treatment. While court dockets do not reveal specific medical details, sources close to the situation reported that Von had returned home shortly after, describing himself as immobilized with an unconfirmed ailment. Despite the sudden health update, court observers note that a continuance was already widely anticipated as defense attorneys continue negotiating a potential plea deal with prosecutors.

This delay adds to a growing list of legal challenges for the performer:

  • Felony Battery & Robbery Hearing: Rescheduled for October 14th, with existing victim restraining orders remaining fully in effect.

  • DUI Trial: Set for November, following a formal "not guilty" plea entered just last week.

As the new court dates approach, updates will follow on whether a plea agreement is reached before the October hearing or if proceedings move forward to trial. For more updates on creator updates, industry news, and commentary, check out Bloggin About.....
