It’s been said before that sometimes the truth hurts. Today, an entire community is feeling the pain of a truth few expected or wanted to hear.
This story begins almost 19 months ago when a young man by the name of Brandon Wright claimed he was gay bashed in London, Ont. The story that he told in the beginning was that with little explanation a young semi-professional football player struck and threatened him.
Details were somewhat vague at the time, but Wright claimed that he arranged a meeting with the now-24-year-old Alex Myros at a local variety store and the two drove off in Myros’s pickup truck.
Wright claimed that Myros hit him in the face with a metal object and feared he would be killed for being gay. Wright said that, frightened for his life, he leapt from the moving truck, suffering an injured shoulder and bruising. Witnesses rushed to his aid and he immediately claimed that he was a victim of a beating at the hands of hateful homophobe.
The London community was outraged and quickly rallied to support him. The mayor at the time and the deputy chief of police turned up at a downtown demonstration and joined activists in condemning violence and hate crimes in the community.
Now a totally different story has emerged, and the truth hurts more than any could have imagined.
It turns out that Myros was a young man in distress. Not all that long before he was lauded as a local hero when he rushed into a burning car to save a young girl from certain death. He was unable to help the child’s mother, and stood by helpless as she perished in the fire.
The trauma of this incident combined with his financial problems left him vulnerable and desperate.
Wright promised a solution to his troubles. Wright told him that he was a modelling agent and promised him lucrative contracts as a model and adult porn star.
Wright told him he could make $200,000 in cash in adult films, but there was a catch. He needed to prove he was comfortable having sex with both men and women by allowing Wright to perform a sex act on him.
Soon after, Wright told him he could only transfer the money to him if he paid a fee to the accountant and asked for $700.
