Nantucket yacht partyers ‘had been making pornographic films’ before doctor Scott Burke’s arrest: report

The party yacht of the retired doctor who was busted for drugs and guns played host to a weekend of porno filming, according to a newly obtained police document that revealed more details about the salacious case.

Authorities raided Scott Burke’s 82-foot-long vessel dubbed the Jess Conn on Sept. 5 after they were notified by a man whose female friend was on the boat and called him over Facetime, the Nantucket Current reported, citing the Nantucket Police Department’s application for a search warrant used in the case.

The woman allegedly told the male friend that “they were doing drugs all weekend long and people on the boat had been making pornographic films,” according to documents that shed more light on the wild party.

Authorities responded to the scene after the man reportedly told police he thought his friend overdosed because the woman told him she wanted to leave the boat before passing out and the call dropping.

The drugs used aboard the Jess Conn included ketamine, Adderall, ecstasy and cocaine, the unidentified man told authorities.

A police report previously stated police reached the Jess Conn after reports that a distressed woman had possibly overdosed and “did not feel safe” onboard.    

Several prostitutes were also on the yacht, sources previously told the Current.

Burke, 69, was arrested in Nantucket Harbor on drug-trafficking and weapons charges after cops found a trove of guns and hard drugs on the luxurious yacht.

When police initially tried to talk with the married father, he was “extremely uncooperative” and was placed in handcuffs and detained due to his behavior, police said in an affidavit obtained by the local outlet.

He told officers that the woman who overdosed had been working for him for only a few weeks and that her female friend was also staying on the boat, according to the outlet.

The former doctor initially denied knowing illegal drugs were on the yacht, and the two women also denied they were aware of illegal drugs, though one of them claimed she had a prescription for Adderall.

A search of the yacht allegedly uncovered about 43 grams of cocaine, 14 grams of ketamine, a .380 pistol, three 30-round 9mm magazines, and a 12-round magazine in a 9mm pistol, according to the police report.

Multiple rounds of ammo were also found on the yacht’s bedroom floor, the report added.

Burke, whose lawyer said he has terminal cancer, allegedly admitted the firearms were his.

He told police he had a license to carry, but authorities said he had a license to carry in Florida and it expired in September 2022, the Current reported.

He posted $200,000 following his arrest.

He pleaded not guilty to the drug and gun raps. 

Burke, who has homes in Florida and Colorado, previously ran a spine and rehabilitation clinic, online records show.

He founded Injury Finance, a Colorado-based medical insurance company that provides lien services for third-party liability claims, about two decades ago, according to his LinkedIn profile.
