This whole scenario reminds me of when John Paulk got busted in the gay bar in Washington DC. At first he denied even being there, then he said he went in to use the bathroom not even knowing it was a gay bar and then he finally came clean.
Nothing about his profile makes me think he'd be a good or reliable travel assistant? My question for Reker is, "Why him?" He picked him knowing he need a travel assistant. I think he should have to ID one thing on his profile that reasonably points to his suitableness for that position? Obviously he's not the only hooker in Miami who speaks Spanish!
I can't get over the fact that this anti-gay-adoption slimeball who screws boys who look 16 went and adopted a 16 y/o boy. Maybe he opposes gay adoption because his closeted ass lusts after easy-access kids, so he assumes the same of everyone else.
@8, that's exactly it. He assumes everybody wants the same kids he so desperately does. He's not trying to protect kids, he's trying to protect himself. PLEASE GOD STOP ME BEFORE I MOLEST AGAIN.
He would be a handsome young man once he grows up and gets rid of that haircut (honestly! what is WITH hairdressers these days?)
And being a sex worker should be something adults decide after a thorough decision-making process (as is the case with every profession). Where are the child services?
Penn Bullock pleaded with JoeMyGod to not reveal the identity of Lucien because of the potentially devastating results for the young man and his family who were not aware he was bisexual. That plea failed.
Then sometime between 10:45 pm and 11:00 pm PDT, all the pictures of Geo and other identifying details were scrubbed from his rentboy.com site.
Quite honestly, I'm worried about this kid. At best he's in his early 20s, more likely younger. People his age rarely make an informed decision to become sex workers. He ended up with a bad client and now his life is pretty well fucked.
As delicious as it is that Rekers is being brought down (at least for the moment), he is an adult, a public figure and a hypocrite. Lucien/Geo was public only to the extent that his services and professional information were available behind a password protected web site. But really, who but a potential John was likely to see this? Very unlikely that his family would stumble across it. I really hope the glbt community steps up to help this kid and keeps him from becoming another one of Rekers' victims.
Just the thought of that pretty young thang doin' the nasty with ol' George makes my stomach heave. I can agree with the 'phobes on this one: "That kind of sex is an abomination!".
I feel bad for this kid. Hope the widespread publication of his info and pics doesn't have too many bad ramifications for him. He can't help having lifted some bigot's luggage.
Anyone else occasionally wonder what Tony Perkins is into? Wetsuits? Diaper-clad bears? I mean, obviously he's not going to be into women, but other than that the sky is the limit, I suppose.
I feel sort of bad for this kid. Sounds like he was trying to be professional by covering for his client, though now that he's learned just who is client is, I hope he becomes more vocal. Still, I'm with the others who think this kid needs to recieve a lot of support, especially if he wasn't out to his family even. He didn't ask to be in the eye of this particular storm, so while we delight in the fall of yet another hypocrite, lets lay groundwork for others. Lets show service workers that if they out their anti-gay hypocrite clients, they will be taken care of and supported.
of course, this constant garbage has become a complete and utter cliche--but i am really sensing a tipping point here with these grotesque hypocritical fucks (the pope/catholic church included). TIPPING POINT! Tip! Tip! Tip! TIP! we are very close to a point when no one at all anywhere is going to forgive or tolerate their lying deluded bullshit anymore. TIIIIIIIP!
Rekers got the money to pay for this kid (he's 20, BTW) from being paid for his testimony to help stop gay adoption in Florida. I know there's no fraud case here.... But there SHOULD be.
#29 Unzipped.com posted his picture and profile before Joe did. And Rentboys.com is not a password protected site. Anyone can go there are search through sex-worker profiles without joining or signing up. His information was publicly available.
The kid will probably get a porn movie deal out of this and make a bit of extra dough. The media coverage is sure to bring him numerous new clients. Notoriety is a big plus for sex workers.
@46, what do you base that assumption on? My understanding of the matter is that sex workers ordinarily want anything BUT notoriety because most clients don't want their activities known. I would suppose that in the case of gay clients this would be doubly so since it would be a population enriched with closet-cases. I can't see how being famous is helpful.
Can you link me to any sources that deal with that issue?
Gawd, I would feel like a total pedophile if I rented that boy, and I'm a lot less gross than Rekers is. Poor kid, what a horrid way to make a living, having to bump monkeys with that disgusting old hypocrite.
@50, you might be right, but if Twinky is under 18, and Rekers took him across state or national borders for the purpose of sex, this is a fucking violation of federal law. I demand an investigation!
@47 Look at how many people in the comments above found him desirable. If just the people who read SLOG feel that way, imagine how many people in the entire U.S. do.
Considering that all of the sex-workers who had sex with Tiger Woods and what's-his-name, Sandra Bullock's husband are being offered tv shows and paid media interviews, I'd say notoriety is working for them. Mike Jones of Ted Haggard fame got a book deal. H works now as a personal trainer according to Wiki. If people are willing to hire him they presumably know his history.
There are lots of male sex workers who have their own web sites, they don't get lots of hits because they are unknown.
Beau Breedlove was not a sex worker but his fling with Sam Adams got him on the cover of "Unzipped" and a book deal.
To quote from Harold and Maude, "I would be remiss in my duty if I did not tell you that the idea of intercourse - the act of your firm, young body... comingling with... withered flesh... sagging breasts... and flabby b-b-buttocks... makes me want... to vomit."

As to the ramifications for Geo, he'll end up on talk shows and probably write a book about the whole experience. Don't feel too sorry for him yet.
eh - I would have fun watching him in porn, though I am not much of a fan of men who shave their armpits. :-) Hot body, nice face, kinda silly hair though....
The Florida Attorney General that hired Rekers to testify against foster children being able to be adopted by gays was none other than Bill McCollum-who is still Florida's AG. McCollum paid Rekers $120,000 for his "expert" testimony.
Seems McCollum is currently running for Governor in Florida. The same McCollum that has joined the lawsuit against our government to block health care. What a guy. Evidently misusing taxpayer money to further his conservative agenda is the norm for that guy.
Take a look at the hilarious comments being left on McCollum's Facebook page. He's trying to hide them by getting them erased as fast as he can-but the number of people still posting to his site is amazing.
Just out of curiosity, do ANY homo-hating evangelical men ever sleep with women?
Of course they do. It always results in a bad experience for everyone involved, but these guys were raised from birth to inseminate women, even (especially?) if they derive no joy in so doing.
I always check penis size and foreskin status when interviewing luggage assistants. Doesn't everyone?
Naturally, And, what with skycaps always insisting on wearing uniforms and such as, proper checking of those vital traits can be a time-consuming exercise, especially when you have a plane to catch.

Just delicious!
No proof, I know, but disturbing as hell.
Sicko.

I bet he gets folks like Rekers to their destination.

Courtesy of Joe My God: Apparently, FRC is purging any reference to Rekers on their website.
1984 much?

Oh, and no, he does not look 16. Young 20s, sure. 18, maybe. But not 16, no way.

Yes; Jimmy Swaggart was busted--twice--for consorting with cheap female hookers in a sleazy area of New Orleans.
...unless it's a strap-on.
Bleah, almost enough to cure me of the ghey!
Bet he used hiking boots to mount that...

As I said, notoriety can be lucrative.
