A gay porn star was arrested in Atlanta, Ga., earlier this month for attacking his boyfriend during a late-night incident, which marks the fifth time he's been arrested for similar altercations, according to local LGBT news site Project Q.
Jared Louis Velazquez, 30, who makes gay porn under the name Tyce Jax, was arrested on Nov. 9 for allegedly beating, choking and biting his boyfriend, Bobby Hamill. The fight between the men started at 3:50 p.m. but apparently continued shortly after midnight, according to an incident report from the Atlanta Police Department, which was obtained by Project Q.
Velazquez lives with Hamill, who co-owns BJ Roosters, and was a bartender at the popular gay bar.
Velazquez allegedly choked Hamill until he passed out, police said. Full story here via Edge!
*************************
Approximately 23 percent of LGBTQ men and 50 percent of LGBTQ women experience abuse from their intimate partners. This means that members of the LGBTQ community are slightly more likely to experience abuse than straight couples.
Same-sex partners who are abusive and controlling use all the same tactics to gain power & control in relationships as heterosexual abusive partners – physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, financial control, isolation, etc. But same-sex partners who are abusive also reinforce their tactics that maintain power & control with societal factors that compound the complexity a survivor faces in leaving or getting safe in a same-sex relationship.
