GROVE CITY — A student suspended from Grove City College for appearing in gay porn videos plans to finish his degree work at another school.

Twenty-two-year-old John Gechter of Philadelphia, was suspended from Grove City College for a year after the school learned of his porn job last month.

Gechter tells the Allied News of Grove City that he lost his appeal and withdrew from the school May 5.

His other option was to get out of the porn business and reapply in a year.

But Gechter says he will transfer credits he plans to earn at another school so he can still get his degree from Grove City.

A school spokeswoman is confirming only that Gechter has withdrawn. Officials at the school say Gechter was aware the porn job violated its conduct code.
