A British gay porn star who was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport for attempting to smuggle a half-pound of crystal meth in a body cavity was today ordered to spend two years in federal prison.
Philip Gizzie, who uses the stage name Bruno Knight, must also serve three years of supervised release after getting out of prison.
“I am sorry to you and your country,” Gizzie told U.S. District Judge Manuel Real.
In a letter to the court, Gizzie said he had been addled by drugs at the time of the crime and was thankful for the sobriety he found during five months in a federal lockup.
Gizzie, 31, was arrested June 16 after he told LAX customs officers that he had “inserted three large objects containing methamphetamine” into a body cavity, according to an affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint.
Gizzie pleaded guilty in August to a federal count of possession with intent to distribute meth.
Defense attorney Neha A. Meta, arguing for a six-month sentence, told Real that her client’s crime was driven by addiction.
“He’s not a sophisticated drug dealer,” she said. “It was mostly for his personal use.”
