Jeremy Jackson Sex tape

A tape featuring former child star Jeremy Jackson and porn queen Sky Lopez is about to go public after thugs threatened to beat the Baywatch actor up if he didn't hand over the footage.

The 27-year-old, who played David Hasselhoff's son Hobie on the hit TV show, has confessed to 'starring' in the explicit footage, but claims he was blackmailed into handing over the tape by a gang of thugs allegedly associated with Lopez.

In a statement issued to TMZ.com, Jackson says, "Listen, this video was made by my best friend. (It's) between me and a casual partner, who just so happened to be a former porn star. I was later physically threatened if I didn't turn the DVD over to some drug-addicted thugs.

"They said, 'Sky wanted it back...’ that she had turned to God and was changing her life.

"So I gave it up for HER and so they would not beat me up and 'make my life hell,' as they had threatened. I was blackmailed.

"This private recording becoming public kinda sucks. But I thought people out there should know the truth and how far some people will go to make a quick buck."

"Listen, this video was made by my best friend, between me and a casual partner, which is just an old p-o-r -n star. I was later physically threatened if I do not have the DVD to some drug thugs."

Recently, Jeremy Jackson had a Txtrview with VH1 Mobile:

VH1: Thanks for texting us, Jeremy. What’s your ringtone?

JJ: I like to keep it classic with a factory standard ringer. I’m a big BB (blackberry) fan, so a simple old-school phone “ring ring” will do for me.

VH1: But you keep up with music, though. Right?

JJ: Yes, of course. Love music. House, electro, rock, hip-hop.

VH1: People on the street ever call you Hobe?

JJ: Aaaaaw gaaaaaaawd YES. Maybe every day at least one person will drop the H Bomb. Haha.

VH1: hat was the best episode of Baywatch?

JJ: Define best.

According to the TMZ, the 45-minute tape is currently being offered to porn Web sites and agencies, but has yet to attract any bidders.
