The NSFW website Str8UpGayPorn reports there has been a new development in the murder of the owner of the adult male streaming platform owner TheGuySite.com. EDGE earlier had reported on the murder report.

"Str8Up can again exclusively report a new development connected to the homicide," the site reported. "On May 5th, four days after Futral's body was discovered, police in Orange County, Florida issued an arrest warrant for a man named Richard Lam. Lam is also known as TheGuySite gay porn star 'Ludvig.'"

The Str8Up report continues: "Ludvig/Richard Lam was already on felony probation in Florida, and now he's been labeled a fugitive of justice for violating the terms of that probation. Because the arrest warrant is under seal, how Lam violated his probation has not yet been made public (Str8Up has requested a copy of the warrant), and police have not publicly named Lam as a suspect in Futral's murder. But, a source with knowledge of the investigation has told Str8Up, "Oh yeah, [Lam's] the one they're looking for."

The source also told Str8Up that Lam and Futral have been living together for several months, but had an "extremely volatile relationship that began after Lam started working for Futral's TheGuySite in 2020. During one encounter in which Str8Up's source was at a studio meeting attended by Lam and Futral, the source could hear Lam screaming at Futral in another room before being asked to leave the building."

Str8Up can reveal that Lam was on probation as part of a sentence for pleading no contest to a domestic violence strangulation charge in 2021. At that time, the initial charge was sexual battery, but in the graphic police report (that can be viewed on the Str8Up site), it was reported that Lam allegedly raped a man in Florida identified as Lam's "boyfriend." The victim may or may not have been TheGuySite's William Futral, as the victim's name has been redacted in this report.

The 28-year old, Staten Island-born Lam worked at the popular NYC strip club Adonis Lounge during the past decade. While doing research for their report, Str8Up's Zach wrote "that Lam – using yet another new Instagram account, "endowedmesomorph" – was posting video and photos as recently as May 5th, four days after Futral's body was found and on the same day the arrest warrant was issued. In the posted photo Lam poses with another man and writes in the caption: "The #one #above all there's a #hierarchy for a reason with his #amazing #fortitude intellect #bravery and #unwavering #loyalty there isn't a #woman or #toy on #planet #earth that could ever stop me from #seeing #him I would never #compromise his #heart for the sake of #lustful vagina #understand I am a #God of #energy #LGBT united !"
