Gay adult film
star Mason Wyler confirmed to GAYVN.com rumors that had been
circulating around adult industry since last months -- that
he and his boyfriend has been raped and attacked in
their Dallas apartment.
The attack was
originally thought by some in the adult industry to be a
publicity stunt, but GAYVN confirmed the attack through
an incident report filed with the Dallas police
department. Wyler further confirmed the attack took
place in a blog on his website, Wyler
Nation.
Though there are
discrepancies between Wyler's blog entry, his
interview with GAYVN.com, and the official police
report, the porn star says he modified portions of his
story to protect his boyfriend and keep his address
private.
Wyler told
GAYVN.com that events leading up to the attack started
months ago when he began corresponding with a man
claiming to be a captain in the U.S. Army. Wyler says
the two began chatting, even agreeing to meet when the
man came to Dallas to visit, but said meeting never took
place.
Fast-forward to
September, when Wyler says he left his wallet at a Dallas
club. The next day, he received an instant message.
"Remember me?" the message read. It was
the Army captain, he says, claiming he had the wallet
and wanted to return it.
Wyler told
GAYVN.com he turned down an initial request to meet up at a
club, but when the man showed up at his apartment and helped
him and his boyfriend carry groceries up from the car,
he let him into the house.
One thing led to
another, Wyler says, and the three began fooling around
-- Wyler even let the Army captain tie him up, he says,
which freaked his boyfriend out.
Wyler says when
he began to get uncomfortable, his
boyfriend attempted to run for help. It was at that
point, he says, that the Army captain took out a gun.
Wyler says he and
his boyfriend were raped repeatedly, with more than one
assailant beating them and sodomizing both of them with
foreign objects and injecting them with what Wyler
says he feared at the time were drugs.
"Eventually, I
got so exhausted from fighting him and the drugs, I
didn't even care anymore," he said. "I thought we were going
to die."
Wyler says he was
eventually able to escape and make it to a neighbor's
house, where he called 911. When Wyler was admitted to the
hospital, he says, he told personnel there had been
more than one assailant, and traces of GHB were found
in his system. On his blog, Wyler says he was forced
to pay for his rape kit.
Wyler says he
thinks the discrepancies in his story caused some in the
adult industry to doubt he was telling the truth.
"I can understand
why people would think I had it coming to me and I
deserved it," he said. "But I don't want people thinking I
did this for attention. I love attention, but I didn't
do this for attention. This was real." (The
