Stephen Port, 41, was found guilty of the murders of four gay men in a British court on this mont. Port reportedly found all four of his victims on gay dating apps. He was also convicted of four rapes, four assaults by penetration, and ten counts of administering a substance with intent. Port is said to have administered fatal doses of the drug GHB to each of his victims.
Port’s victims included 23-year-old Anthony Patrick Walgate, whose body was found in June 2014; 22-year-old Gabriel Kovari, whose body was dumped near a cemetery in August 2014; 21-year-old Daniel Whitworth, whose body was discovered near the same cemetery as Kovari’s a month later; and 25-year-old Jack Taylor who was found murdered in September 2015.
Port worked as a chef and lived alone in Barking, London. He was reportedly an enthusiastic user of gay dating apps and websites.
I’m going to hazard a guess that the majority of you use apps to meet guys. For many, it’s the ONLY way you date or hookup. Here are some ways to stay safe when you’re hooking up via apps or online.
1. If you’re meeting up, get their real name.
2. Always get more pics to make sure they’re not using a fake one.
3. Tell someone about your plans to meet up with anyone you meet online.
4. Agree ahead of time on the expectations of your first meeting.
5. Meet first in public.
6. If you’re meeting for drinks, keep an eye on yours and know your limits.
7. Think twice about doing any drugs with this person you just met.
8. If the guy ends up being a fake, liar, or tries to make you do something you didn’t want to do, don’t hesitate to report him to the app you met him on.
9. You don’t have to do anything sexual that you don’t want to do or aren’t comfortable with. Any sexual activity should be between two (or more) consenting adults.
10. Don’t take unnecessary risks just to get laid. Remember, jerking off can be a lot safer than a shady situation.
Be careful out there, fellas!
