Christopher Jack Reid, a 2000 Cy Springs graduate, turned himself in to police in Washington Wednesday on burglary and rape charges.

“Oh my God, because this is not something that I would think my son is even capable of doing,” Deborah Reid said.

Police say he was more than capable.

Reid, who goes by the porn name Jack Venice, allegedly burglarized three sorority houses on the Washington State campus and raped a student last Friday.

Reid’s mother says after graduating from high school, her son joined the Marines and completed a four-year tour of duty in Iraq – an experience that she says made him a better person.

She believes he is innocent.

Christopher "Jack Venice" Reid has family in Northwest Harris County.

For his part, Reid has denied the charges, noting that he “gets paid to have sex with women” and wouldn’t need to rape anyone. He has appeared in more than 80 adult films to date.

Reid reportedly cruises college campuses to find women to appear in his productions.

11 News obtained a YouTube video of some of Reid’s campus trips.

Reid told KXLY-TV that he was too drunk last Thursday to remember what happened.

“I’m really scared because a lot of the time I’m in my home alone even though I live with three other people,” said Justine Jobe who is a Washington State University student.

Police caught Reid’s alleged accomplice, who is a Washington State University student.

He is charged with second-degree rape and burglary.

A judge set his bail at $100,000 and ordered he stay at least a half mile from sorority houses.

The arrested student evidently revealed Reid’s identity to investigators.

Police say multiple witnesses also placed Reid on the scene.

Reid’s mother said five constables came to her home in search of her son Wednesday morning, but he had already gone to Washington to turn himself in.
