...all the speculation and news reports that are trying to convict him before he even has a trial is sickening to me.

When someone is arrested, it doesn't matter who it is, they should have the right to a fair trial and not be judged beforehand in the media. I believe that's what happened to Markus Allen/Timothy Boham. I am the same age as Tim and I feel as though I have a mirrored life of his. I feel as though I can help by telling the story from what I believe is his point of view.

Timothy John Boham, a former model was arrested and charged with first degree murder in 2006. He is currently being accused of shooting a 43-year-old business man John Paul "JP" Kelso in the head.

Timothy Boham was born May 27th, 1981 in Nebraska. He was a shy child and his small physique made him regular targets for school bullies. On one occasion he was thrown in a garbage can by the bigger kids. He also would have his backpack put on the top shelf so he could not reach it and was tormented.

His home life was no better; his father was verbally and physically abusive to Tim, according to Timothy's mother Sue Strong.

Once Timothy grew older his body matured and he became more of a muscular man. He decided to use his good looks to gain entry into the modeling industry and he had no problems. He worked in in Denver at Maximum Talent Agency for three years and did quite well.

After that he moved to West Hollywood California to pursue a career in adult films. With the help of ChiChi La Rue, a director and producer of gay porn he started working in several well-known gay porn films.

In November 2002, Boham appeared on the cover of Freshmen magazine (considered to be the best '18-25' magazine of young gay men). In the annual survey in 2003, he went by the name "Markus Allen" and was voted "Freshman of the Year" by a wide margin, and again appeared on the cover (June 2003). This led to opportunities such as with Falcon studios.

With Falcon Entertainment, Boham appeared in a dozen adult movies, in 2004 and 2005. As Markus Allen, Boham was on the cover of Mandate magazine in July 2006, apparently for All World's Video.
