WHAS11 News has been investigating a local male modeling agency for six months.

Some of the models say the agency isn't delivering on its promise to try to find the models work and they say the work that is being offered isn't to model.
It's an investigation six months in the making, with a criminal file that dates back to 1992 when Russell Claxon spent time in jail for promoting male prostitution.
Now a model in his agency claims he's at it again.
Michael Casolari is model number 88 at Models Today L.L.C.
He’s 5'11, 173 pounds and trying to get out of modeling.
According to Casolari, he hasn’t made a dollar modeling for Russell Claxon.
Tim Amyx is model number 59 on the site. He is 6'1, 173 pounds and looking for a break."Brand new to the area, just moved here, didn't have a job, didn't even have a place to live yet and the money he promised was sounded pretty good," says Amyx.
Also there's Kyle Dever, model number 148. He has taken Russell Claxon to court.
Claxon was in small claims court to defend himself after Dever sued him for the money paid to join the agency."I paid $225, which is half of one of my unemployment checks. Then two weeks later, when I got my next check, I gave him the rest of it. Its $450 total," says Dever.Claxon testified in court that he currently represents 349 models. WHAS11 News doesn’t know how much money he makes, but if all those models paid the $450 to sign up, that would add up to over $157,000.
Claxon has offered no evidence that he's placed any of those models in a modeling job.Judge Jacquelyn Eckert ordered Claxon to give Dever his money back.
"You've shown me nothing to indicate that you're running a legitimate business. I think you're running a scam," said Judge Eckert.
The court awarded Kyle Dever his $450 minus court costs. Russell claxon appealed the decision and lost.
