John Bowen is a British-born and American pornographic movie director who uses the name John T. Bone.[1]
A member of the AVN Hall of Fame, he has worked for numerous studios and, as Harry Horndog, has also acted in some porn movies. He is best known for directing two large gang bang movies: World's Biggest Gang Bang in 1995 starring Annabel Chong, and World's Biggest Gang Bang II in 1996 starring Jasmin St. Claire. He was interviewed in the documentary Sex: The Annabel Chong Story where it is claimed that he still owes Annabel Chong $10,000 for her performance.
In 1997, Bowen founded the porn company Cream Entertainment together with two partners; Cream entertainment closed in 2000.
In May 1998, photos of talk show host Jerry Springer having sex with Cream contract girl Kendra Jade in Chicago's Executive Plaza Hotel appeared in the tabloids News of the World and The Globe. Kendra's stepmother Kelly Jade was also present in the hotel room, and Kendra, Kelly and Bowen appeared on Springer's show the next day, discussing a 350 person gang bang.[2][3] Kelly later alleged that the romp had been set up by Bowen who would receive several hundred thousand dollars from Springer to suppress a video tape shot with a hidden camera. Both Springer and Bowen denied the payoff and said that Bowen had signed an agreement with Spinger's lawyers not to discuss the matter.[4]
Several people have alleged that Bowen commonly has sex with the porn stars working for him, in particular Luke Ford. Ford was finally successfully sued by a porn actress and driven out of the business.[4]
In 2004 Bowen opened a porn studio in Sao Paulo, Brazil and started to shoot several movies there.[5] He made porn movies with Brazilian soap opera star Alexandre Frota.[6] He has been married 6 times with his third wife being porn actress Misty Regan. He currently has a Filipino wife.
In February 2007 he went to Pattaya, Thailand and rented an apartment together with a friend also from the porn industry. A rival informed the police that they were shooting pornography at this address and the police raided his apartment and arrested them both on April 6. They were in fact on vacation but his friend had video equipment in his room to shoot for a website later in the month, Bowen had no equipment with him. The police brought a van full of journalists and several TV crews with them so certain charges were fabricated so they would not 'lose face'.[7]
