Gay Blackmail Lands Man Behind Bars 

A 20-year-old man who threatened to out people throughout Worcester, England, if they didn't give him money has landed himself behind bars for four and a half years.

According to the Worcester News, 20-year-old Lee Taylor targeted several gay men. He allegedly threatened to out a local businessman to his family and colleagues, and told another man he would accuse him of rape if he didn't pay him for sex.

Prosecutors say Taylor was collecting money to pay for his bed-and-breakfast accommodations in Worcester. The businessman went to police after Taylor allegedly threatened to smash a brick into his friend's face if he didn't come up with more money.

Judge Alistair McCreath told Taylor at his sentencing that he had carried out "unpleasant and ugly" offences.
