An alleged serial rapist has been sexually terrorizing young straight male students at the University of Georgia in Athens.
27-year-old Andre Montez Jones (pictured) is accused of abusing as many as four men, inviting them back to his apartment, drugging, raping and even beating them.

The investigation against Jones started back in December, when he allegedly invited an 18-year-old male student over to his place to watch Neflix after finals.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The victim, who identifies as straight, told police Jones gave him a beer. After just a few sips, he passed out. The next thing he knew, he was naked and Jones was on top of him.
He pushed Jones off, telling him he wasn’t gay, then ran for his clothes. That’s when the 27-year-old started beating him, resulting in the young man suffering a bloody nose, swollen eye and severe scratches on his neck, face and elsewhere on his body.
After escaping the apartment, he called police and Jones was arrested and charged with aggravated sodomy with force and battery.

A few weeks later, after the story was picked up by local media, another student from the same university came forward to say a similar thing had happened to him. Last month, he told police that he, too, was sexually assaulted by Jones after the two met at a sports bar. He did not file a police report, however, because he didn’t want his name to become public.
And a few weeks after that, a third young man made the exact same allegations against Jones, telling police earlier this month that Jones had forcibly sodomized him inside his apartment as well.
Then on Tuesday, yet another man came forward to say he was raped by Jones at his apartment in December 2014.
Police believe there may be other victims out there who have yet to come forward. Jones is currently in the Athens-Clarke County jail and is being held without bail until his criminal trial.

I’m sorry, but is anyone so dumb that, being straight, would accept a “netflix and chill” invite from a man you don’t know? Raped and beaten? Yes. But definitely not straight.

This doesn’t belong on Queerty. Rape is rape. Same-sex love is same-sex love. DON’T CONFUSE THE TWO kthxbye
Kaaper
@Rogério Machado: You are so wrong that this can’t happen to straight men. Every hit it off with someone you just met? This is basically saying they asked for it. Reprehensible!
Paco
As society begins to evolve with its sexual politics, I suspect more and more straight guys won’t be afraid to come forward when they have been sexually assaulted or harassed by gay men that can’t get over their fetish for them and have to resort to criminal acts to satisfy that fetish. Bottom line is, respect the sexuality of others if you want your sexuality respected in return.

Let me get this strait (no pun intended). This guy takes people back to the same apartment, over and over or at least on numerous occasions, drugs them, undress them and molests them. They wake up fighting or pushing him off, leave knowing they had been drugged and sexually assaulted, but he doesn’t move out of the apartment?
People, before you go out and rape another guy try the bathhouse first. If you can’t get a date then just go where you will get what you are really after, sex.
I think an insanity defense would apply here in this case. Something is clearly wrong with his ass. And for some reason I have a sinking feeling they were all white. Or should I say I wouldn’t be surprised if they were. My presumption is based on this story from the not too distant past in Texas:

Lock him up and chemically castrate him asap

Do the victims just happen to be straight or is he targeting straight males specifically?

@Bob LaBlah: Rape isn’t about sex; it doesn’t matter what other sexual options are out there. Rapists are like serial killers, they want what they want because it gives them a sense of power.
Nicolás Aguirre
AHH He could sodomize me anytime..
Kangol
@Bob LaBlah: It’s not about the sex, it’s about the POWER. There’s a difference.
People going to bathhouses are looking for consensual sex. People committing rape are seeking control over other people’s bodies.
He’s a criminal, he got caught, and he should be convicted and locked up.
joeyty
Keith Chester Hill, the serial rapist in Baytown, Texas, claimed he was straight too. Some weird denial thing in the head I guess.
Bob LaBlah
@Kangol: @oddchild1: You guys are correct. I asked the question to a gay hating coworker years ago as to which was sicker, a man who admits he loves getting it in the ass or the person who maintains an erection while giving to another man in the ass against his will (as in prison rape). I got no response and to this day I still remember that blank look on his face.

@joeyty: First of all, there is a difference between sexual activity and sexual identity; second, yes, straight men do rape other straight men because Rape isn’t about sex it’s about power and control.
joeyty
@oddchild1: Well…you sure told me !
Sansacro
@oddchild1: Time to move beyond gender studies 101 bro. Rape is about power and control but it is ALSO about sex. A rapist is turned on by the power and control. It makes him hard and causes him to come. Further, all sex has aspects of power, dominance, submission, and control, for better and worse.
Brian
This kind of behavior is completely and utterly reprehensible.
Brian
@Sansacro: I totally agree with you. I get annoyed when people say sexual assaults are simply about power and control but ignore the sexual component to them.
joeyty
@Brian: A number of the experts now are dropping the whole “rape-is-not-about-sex” meme, saying that – although power and control have a lot to do with it- sex and sexuality has lots to do with it too.
Billy Budd
This guy is obviously sick in the head and a danger to society.

@Paco: Why do you think he is gay?
Kim Garvin
Alleged !!! Key word.
Media over reporting and sensationalism .
Paco
@jamih: Because he isn’t sexually assaulting females, and makes me think of the gay men that go off the deep end in their pursuit of sexual validation from straight guys. 5 male victims and no females… Yeah gay.

The recent violent crimes stories and responses here on Queerty have been awfully tragic but its interesting that there is no photo of the criminal in this post as in the others? surprisingly there are no comments of condemnation directed at the faceless confessed killer and confessed theif and con-man as in the other posts? Someone even commented that they understood the murderers’ actions because of their bad experience with a landlord. ???
Brian
@joeyty: Yes, I agree with you. Yes, sexual assaults are about power and control. But they are ALSO about sex. They’re about power, control and sex.
oddchild1
@Sansacro: Thank you for that example of the perpetuation of rape culture; it’s you and your ilk that make it for victims of sexual assault top come forward; because you perpetuate the idea that raps is just sex people don’t like.
oddchild1
@Brian: Rape is an act of violence; what you are doing is dismissing rape as just sex a person doesn’t like
joeyty
@oddchild1: What if you’re unconscious and a guy slips it into you very gently and non-violently? Is it still rape ?
Bob LaBlah
@CCTR: Maybe you should go back and reread my comment in regards to my SINCEREST hope as to when he was caught.
Brian
Rape is an act of non-consent. As such, it is an act of violence. It’s a violation.
And, yes, it is about sex as much as it is about power and control.
jamih
@Paco: Seek validation by raping them? WTF? Anyway guys who rape men can be anything. Whether this guy is gay or not doesn’t really matter, rape is rape.
Paco
@jamih: yes. He is so desperate to satisfy his fetish for sex with straight guys, he has to lure them back to his place and drug them. I’ve seen how obsessive some gay men get about their fetish for hetero men. To the point it makes them crazy. It’s not pretty.
jamih
@Paco: LOL, first it was validation now it’s a fetish? Anyway like I said, don’t care what the guy is, rape is rape. And gay or not don’t think it was validation he was after, just saying.
Paco
@jamih: Why do you think he is choosing straight makes to drug and rape and not females if he is not gay or not simply a gay man fetishizing sex with straight men to the point he needs to use chemicals to incapacitate them so he can fulfill that desire unhindered? I think there is much more going on here than simple rape in the mind of this guy.

People please do not believe any of this. Montez is my friend and this shit is not true. He hooked up with a “straight” student and the guy freaked out afterwards and hit Montez. They fought and because Montez beat his ass he ran to the cops and said he was drugged and sodomized, although the hospital found NO DRUGS in his system. The kids parents are wealthy and are doing a lot of unorthodox shit to go after Montez. Seriously, support those in our community who are facing a hardship and don’t just believe everything you read.
Paco
@jchend74: And four others have come forward with similar allegations just because? If he really is innocent, perhaps it is time for him to give up on his fetish for straight guys that are going to freak out afterwards and stick to guys that really want it without question.
Bob LaBlah
@jchend74: What kind of childhood did he have? Did he work/was he a student?
I clicked on the link and learned nothing as to Jones’ background. I really would like to know before I say throw the switch.
jchend74
Sorry, I know it has been a while. Yes, he worked and he had a good childhood. I speak to his mom all the time. She’s a very nice woman. I have a question for you guys. If someone sexually assaulted you, would you remain “friends” with that person on social media? My reaction, and I understand and respect that everyone reacts differently, is that I would try to sanitize everything and “cleanse” myself of this person. I would block the hell out of them on everything. Four out of the five guys who are making allegations are STILL TO THIS DAY friends with Montez on Facebook, one was even partying with him two weeks prior to his arrest yet the “assault” supposedly happened last October. There was NO EVIDENCE of drugs in the system of the first guy and obviously with all the others coming forward after the fact, one even TWO YEARS later, there would be no evidence of drugging anyway. I think, and this is MY OPINION, is that these other guys hooked up with him, drunk or not, and being young, stupid and paranoid, they had “buyer’s remorse” and after they heard about this were afraid their name would get dragged into and they would be exposed. Remember, sexual assault is the crime, having a thing for straight guys IS NOT a crime so try not to judge based on that.
