In 2007, Gechter signed with Midwest Model Management, based in Canton, Ohio. During a photo shoot about a year later, Gechter was approached by an agent who told him he had the perfect body for the porn industry, which paid much more than modeling.
Gechter immediately accepted the offer. He said he has filmed about 15 scenes since that time.
For the last two years, Gechter attended classes at GCC during the week before flying to Los Angeles, Miami or Chicago on the weekends to film scenes.
“I’d fly out on Friday, shoot, then fly back on Sunday,” Gechter said. “I’ve traveled all over the country.”
“I’ve paid my entire way through school and, truth is, if I didn’t do porn, I wouldn’t be able to (attend) GCC,” he added.
But his college career is in jeopardy since GCC administrators discovered Gechter’s extracurricular activities on April 24. He met with college officials that day and, according to Ms. Clingensmith, “during this meeting the student confirmed he is, and has been, under contract, and in fact was performing in the adult entertainment industry.”
“He also indicated he chose to participate in this behavior knowing it was incongruent with the policies, mission and values of Grove City College,” Ms. Clingensmith wrote in an e-mail.
During a subsequent April 27 meeting, Larry Hardesty, GCC vice president for student life and learning, informed Gechter that he would be suspended indefinitely for one year.
Gechter would be able to return to GCC in the fall of 2010 to finish his degree, “provided he exhibited proof that he turned his life around and is out of (the porn) industry,” Ms. Clingensmith explained. “The student was also notified he was not to be on college property during this suspension and informed a return to the college would involve the approval of (Hardesty) and a probationary status.”

Are they going to make him sign papers to say he’s straight too?
Hopefully, he will be able to transfer to another school which will appreciate his resourcefulness and work ethic.
I agree, who the hell the school think they are? The school has no position of whatsoever to control a student personal life, especially what he does when he is out of his contact hours.
At least he got to “work” with the gorgeous Leo!
A different kind of cramming!
holy hell, he got to work with leo AND he goes to a christian school?!
that drives me nuts in a million different ways. poor guy… and lucky guy all at the same time.
its so typical of ANY religion to do this. religious people are so naive; there r probably a lot of worse brainwashed people in that hell of a school
I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH HIM! he is such a smart guy.. we were in model united nations club together!! craziness..
Good for him, enough sense to know that in Republican American “Money talks.”
The guy broke his (implied?) contract with the Christian college, so he deserved to be thrown out. If you are doing porn, you do not go to a school whose values preclude that; you go to one whose values you can and do uphold — or, more likely, one that does not have any. No standards, no chance to fail (them). Kinda like elected Democrats! ;-)
He should be suspended. When he enrolled, he agreed to uphold a Christian standard. If he didn’t want that, he should have went to a state public college that doesn’t care. He can scew who ever he wants. The religion is not the problem. They believe that it’s wrong to work in the porn business and that’s their right. It’s wrong of anyone else to tell them what they believe is wrong.
Good for him! You can’t tell me that any of you Christians out there haven’t been promiscuous! We are all human and at some point we’ve all done something the community doesn’t like, like banging ur dirty wifes snatch because u grew up a wealthy republican!
