Dad Took Son to Hooker to Make Him Straight


MOTEL ROOM X390 (FAIR USE) | ADVOCATE.COM

An Australian father who is accused of forcing his teenage son to have sex with a prostitute — out of fear that he was gay — may face rape charges.

As the rest of the family celebrated Christmas 2007, the father allegedly took his son to a motel in North Rockhampton, where he paid the prostitute to have sex with his son, according to The Morning Bulletin, a newspaper in Rockhampton. He left the room, demanding that the boy show him a used condom as proof he finished with the prostitute.

A magistrate decided on Tuesday that there was enough evidence to bring the father to trial.

“First [he] didn’t want to say anything to me,” the boy's mother testified. “Then he told me his father took him to a motel room and there was a prostitute there. He wouldn’t talk, he just started crying.”

Detective sergeant Christine Knapp said police first became aware of the situation when the father tried to report his son to authorities six months later, in May 2008, saying the boy was abusing his younger brother. The father said he “tried to sort it out himself by taking his son to a prostitute” to no avail.

The alleged prostitute has yet to be found.

    I love this story - such a strange world we live in. I've been an escort for 28 years. Here are two doozers I've had from the loving side of the fence: - a father who wanted to have sex with me so he could experience what his recently-out son saw in it. He wanted to try every single thing. When we were finished, he said, as he tied his shoes, "Thank-you. I don't think I'd invite universal approbation in order to do that again." I'm sure he meant disapprobation. - two women hired me to supervise their two sons' first sexual encounter so the experience would be as positive as possible. the boys came in as embarrassed as can be. it was clear they were underaged. we chatted an hour or so in the hotel room. they particularly wanted to know if they were kissing correctly. they were. i convinced them it was more fun to learn the rest on their own, though we did compare dick size. soft. I left them for the second hour but charged their mothers for it. ericwhitneyescort.wordpress.com

    Makes about as much sense as trying to 'pray the gay away'. At BEST, this boy got clothing tips from the prostitute. At worst he is scarred for life. He should have JO'd in the condom in the bathroom for his dad's 'proof'.

    I agree with what Terry said. In our current American culture "real men" are supposed to want sex with any woman, at any time, regardless of what she looks like. Men are now seen as pathetic, base creatures who have to beg women for sex. And if they aren't begging for it---than they're obviously gay. Sad indeed.

    How about calling a therapist for the kids and adults and throw in some parenting classes too. This is wrong of course but I cannot imagine over thousands of years that fathers haven't "taken" their sons to be made men. The father wasn't in the room. The woman most likely had seen this type of thing before. I wondered if they just talked and figured out a way to make something else appear inside the condom. Jail, charges and all that is crazy, unless people think the father after all this and the therapy they should get, will do the same thing again? If the boy attacked his brother, he really needs someone to talk to. Everyone in the family will have some work to do but not in jail.

    Unfortunately, we live in a society that believes that when a woman gives you sex you're suppose to want it, be thankful for it, pray to God she keeps giving it to you, and threaten her if she doesn't give it to you. Sadly, many straight men (and probably a good number of straight women) hold that belief (with the exception of the rape part). Men who don't want women are obviously considered perverts or devils. Sad.

    ANYONE who thinks its funny to sexually abuse and traumatize a child is disgusting and should be ashamed of themselves.
