Today in disgusting men who assault younger male victims, I’ve got a twofer for ya! First up is Ronnie Sagere (pictured), a 34-year-old Brooklyn man accused of raping a boy he met while working at the Cleveland Christian Home. After the boy was discharged back two his parents, the pair became Facebook friends in September and Sagere began showering him with clothes and other gifts, prosecutors allege, before Sagere got his 17-year-old victim drunk on Four Loko (yes, that crap) and “had his way with him.” Oh, and Sagere — who is being held on $100k bond on charges of rape, gross sexual imposition, and kidnapping — is reportedly HIV-positive, which added a “felonious assault” charge. Not enough for you?
Then there’s John William Gibson, the now 68-year-old former high school teacher in Windsor, Ontario, accused by a now-43-year-old former student of raping him in the mid-80s at Gibson’s home and sailboat and the the victim’s parents’ bed, and on a sailboat. And yep, there was alcohol involved. Gibson faces two counts of sexual assault stemming from allegations of two accusers, the second of which will soon take the stand in Gibson’s trial.

“Back TWO his parents”? REALLY?!

Joe, I thought the same thing. It’s bad enough that this site is a gossip rag as opposed to reputable news, but that doesn’t mean that the writers can’t at least learn to spell better than a Laotian prostitute trying to earn her GED.

Thanks for profiling these outstanding men, genuine credits to the gay community and our causes.

the ‘two’ mistake is pathetically lame

While having sex with someone you mentored at a facility is definitily reprehensible, Im not sure its rape. The guy (not KID) was 17. Based on the description it doesnt sound like he jumped him–he showered him with gifts, gave him some booze and had sex with him. Bad judgment–and the guy should lose his job–but lets reserve the R word for the real deal.

@SuperAuthor: What’s wrong with Laotian prostitutes??? Okay there was a spelling mistake. Get OVER it!

Erm, wouldn’t it be better to shame these guys after they’ve been tried. Mob mentality is nothing to be proud of.

@merkin:
Getting someone drunk for the purpose of engaging them in sexual intercourse without their consent IS “rape”.

I had something to say about the topic, but all I can think is to,too,two. It’s a bummer when idiots speak out of context. Palin is there to open her ignorant mouth so you forget about real issues. Thanks proof-readers, the world is a better place; actually, no, but I can see how badly you need recognition.
@Merkin some gray there, though with drugging a minor their consent becomes even less of an issue.

EVER HEARD INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!! I KNOW THE ACCUSED MR. SAGERE PERSONALLY FROM WORK. FIRST OF ALL ALL EMPLOYEES FROM CCH ARE FINGERPRINTED, TESTED AND DRUG TESTED BEFORE ENTERING EMPLOYMENT. BEING THERE MYSELF FROM 2007-2010. NEVER DID I WITNESS ANYTHING IMPROPER WITH SAGERE WITH THE BOYS. HE WAS NOT ONLY A YOUTH WORKER BUT ALSO CARED FOR THESE BOYS AS I SAID WITNESS THIS FOR YEARS AND CLOSELY WORKED WITH MR. SAGERE. OUTSIDE OF WORK WE WERE FRIENDS AND 100 SURE HE WOULD FORCE HIMESELF ON ANYONE. FURTHERMORE HE WAS EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND WOULD WORK DOUBLE SHIFTS SOMETIMES 7 DAYS A WEEK FOR A MONTH BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF EMPLOYEES THAT CCH HAD. SECONDLY, WHERE WAS HIS FAMILY AT?? WHY WAS HE AT MR. SAGERE’S HOME? KIDNAPPED?? GAVE HIM RIDES?? REALLY?? MR. SAGERE DIDNT EVEN OWN A CAR. HE WOULD WALK FROM HIS HOME TO HIS HOUSE ON MANY OCCASSION AND MYSELF GIVEN HIM RIDES HOME ON MANY OCCASIONS. IF ANYTHING I BELIEVE MR. SAGERE DID WHAT ANY OF US WOULD HAVE DONE WORKING WITH THESE YOUNG MEN. A PLACE TO STAY BECAUSE THE YOUNG MAN WAS ON THE STREET. I ONLY SEE ONE THING, DISCRIMINATION!!! SO WHAT IF HE WAS HIV POSITIVE, DOES THAT MEAN THAT EACH AND EVERY PERSON INFECTED WITH THE DISEASE HAVE NO RIGHTS TO WORK??? REALLY LOOK IN THE MIRROR BEFORE START TO JUDGE PEOPLE THAT YOU DONT PERSONALLY KNOW.

@MKG: SORRY A TYPO I MADE .. 100 PERCENT HE WOULD NOT AND DID NOT FORCE HIMSELF ON ANYONE****
