Drake testified in April, 1987 in San Fernando Municipal Court in a publicized case of two men, Charles Brickman and Thomas Ingalls, charged with felony pandering in the production of sex videotape shot in June 1986. Drake had at the time, along with Stacey Donovan and
Tracey Adams, been hired by Cinderella Distributors, which was run by Brickman and Ingalls. Drake testified that having sex "was just part of the description of my character. I did what I did according to the script...I was there as an actor, and part of my job meant having sex". Drake was reportedly paid $300 for his participation in the event. The felony pandering charges were later dropped against Brickman when he agreed to plead no contest in exchange for testifying against Ingalls. He had risked facing a sentence ranging between 3–13 years in prison. ==References==
