A luxury hotel worker in Westminster was sentenced to six years in the slammer for raping a college student during an interview he apparently concocted in order to take advantage of the victim.
39-year-old Sebastian Szerer (pictured) was a manager in the housekeeping department at the famed Reubens Hotel, which overlooks Buckingham Palace. In April 2012, he invited the 24-year-old victim to the hotel.

During the interview, he offered the victim a tour of the hotel. He took him up to the Queen’s Suite, a popular room for celebrity guests. After locking the door, he told the victim to check out the bed. According to prosecutors, Szerer then pushed him onto the mattress, unbuttoned his trousers, and forced the man to perform oral sex on him.
How about we take this to the next level?

The court heard how Szerer apparently used his full body weight to pin the victim down. The young man said the attack left him feeling “distraught, shaken up, absolutely petrified.”
The attack went unreported for an entire year until Szerer sent the victim a message on SCRUFF that read, “Hello stranger.” That’s when the younger man decided to contact authorities.

Initially, Szerer denied everything, saying that he wasn’t gay and that he had never used the app SCRUFF before. When that excuse didn’t work, he tried telling police that actually it was the other way around and that he was the one who had been raped by the victim.
This week, the court found Szerer guilty of one count of rape. He was sentenced to six years behind bars.

Maybe it you hadn’t lied through your teeth it could’ve stayed a he said..he said situation. Nope. These kinds of lies are easy to check.

With all due respect to ANYONE who has had to endure an assault, I have one question/statement.
Is it not possible to bite the shit out of a man’s dick if he shoves it into your mouth and forces you to perform oral sex? I ask this as someone who hasn’t been assaulted and who just wants to know. I realize that biting down would not be wise if a gun or knife is involved, but in this situation, I think I would have bitten the asswipe until he got off of me. The cut/scar would have served as evidence of what happened as well.
When I was in college, a female friend was assaulted in this way, and she actually did bite the jerk. She didn’t press charges (it was 1983) but he left her alone and then quit school a few months later (which may or may not have been related).
Ok, sorry… rambling, but either way, I’m glad the bastard is in jail.

I would have bit his wiener off! F that!

@Ladbrook: Perhaps the kid was so shocked and petrified that, that thought never occurred to him.

This is interesting. When I worked at a five star restaurant, I didn’t have to rape anyone and I got to fool around with the hot dishwasher clerk and 2 of the cooks. And they didn’t have to rape me to get any either.
I can’t believe it’s that difficult for some people to go to the gym and eat right, so that they don’t get birth control obese ass ugly like this guy.

Edit: I meant to say, “five star hotel”

Queerty describes itself as being “free of an agenda, except that gay one.” The editors apparently believe that the topics of greatest importance to its gay readers are:
– transsexuals
– crossdressers
– sex predators
– sociopaths who knowingly expose others to HIV
– D-list celebrities
How about some news and features for the 99% of gays who don’t fall into any of the categories above?

@Ladbrook: that type of question is inherently victim blaming. I’m sure you don’t mean to, but you can’t judge things by the best action one should take. You never know how someone is going to react to this situation. In my room, typing this, with no near threat, I’d say the same thing. I’d bite his dick off, fight him off, etc. But I’ve never been in a dangerous situation like this. If i’m honest, i’m not the best in emergencies. So i really don’t know what i’ll do. If someone can physically restrain you and you can’t escape him, there’s a point where shock sets in and you can’t fight.

@Jacob23: The sleazebag jacob is back in full force… posting more rambling garbage. Do you even read this website? Or do you constantly post nonsense?

@Ladbrook: @Ryan Davies: With all due respect to your stupidity, you don’t know what you would have done if you were assaulted by someone who overpowered you and forced his dick down your throat. You’d probably just be hoping that you could get out alive.@BlogShag: Rape is not a sex act; it’s a violent crime. It has nothing to do with the sexual attractiveness of the rapist or the victim.

@Jacob23: You are back, with your self-centered bullshit once again. Newsflash*** Life ain’t all about you! Take your biggoted ass back under your rock…no one wants to hear your shit! I don’t think you’re a “sleazebag” like Giancarlo85 said. I think you’re more like a Douchebag!

This is so TRUE!

@Jacob23: Wrong, sleazebag. You are a true sicko and you hate other people in the gay community. And the fact that you try to equate trans people with sex predators and sociopaths who expose others to HIV, just shows how much of a demented shitbag you really are.
youarekiddingme
@Billy Budd: There you are demeaning trans and crossdressers in this post just like you did in the previous post about a powerlifter who was also going through sexual identity/trans problems. You are classifying these people as “sick”.
You know who else was classified as sick/deviant? Homosexuals–You stupid Fucktard! According to the American Psychiatric Association, Homosexuality was considered a mental “illness” and placed in the following journal: Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM) in 1952, and subsequent removal in 1973.[6]. It was only removed as a mental illness in 1973!!
When you lump trans people into a category of “deviants” you treat them in a way that we were treated in most of human history! VERY DANGEROUS STEREOTYPING!! You, of all people, being gay needs to STOP judging other sub-cultures in the LGBT community.

@youarekiddingme: that was meant primarily foor Jacob 23, but you echoed his post as well…so most of it pertains to you as well.

@youarekiddingme: Judging others from deep in his closet and being an over all shithead is what the Jacob23 troll does best though.

@Billy Budd How many times have you defended the old man with young boy stories and how other cultures embraced having sex with young boys as a good thing. Here in the US we just call them sexual predators. Seems that’s one subject you support.

You peopole are not safe, not even in your own homes. Involve the authorities if you feel that your rights have been violated..I believe incidents like this happen all the time to young college students looking for work in the market. It is “hard” out there to get any kind of position and it is dangerously easy to come in as the bottom puck and be violated by an experienced predator.
CivicMinded
Is six years an appropriate sentence? It seems a bit long to me. I would agree with one year. The article doesn’t talk about extenuating circumstances such as the use of a weapon or if the abuser has committed other crimes. I suppose locking the door could be tantamount to kidnapping. It doesn’t sound like there was any physical harm done, just psychological. Is it just me or does it seem like people who commit murder often get the same amount of time? I’d have given him one year with several years of probation and mandatory counseling.
Daniel-Reader
Glad the victim came forward so it doesn’t happen to more people. Probably didn’t bite him cuz you don’t want to risk getting hiv from someone who may have done this to lots of people.
EvonCook
Wow, there is a real pile on here believing every iota of the claimant’s story with all the hunger for retribution and revenge that implies. Really, I would have to know more as far too often such accusations and time lapse recollections are the result of second thoughts, guilt, embarrassment, blackmail, publicity or potential enrichment, sometimes even just emotional retribution. Also, this was a man of 24 years old in a semi-public place –maybe he couldn’t physically defend himself, but he didn’t have the wherewithal to cry bloody murder when his supposed rapist got off him and walked him around the hotel? Not even a struggle for this invasion of his manhood? Did he claim a virgin mouth? And, yes, I do know what I would do in such a situation because I have been in several, some of my own instigation and others attempted and forced on me. Just feel this one does not add up, at least the way it has been presented, and I certainly am not one to jump on the bandwagon of a finger pointer a year late.
jwtraveler
@EvonCook: Well none of us was in that hotel room so we don’t know for sure what happened there. But the rapist was tried and convicted in a court of law, which means the jury or judge (I’m not an expert on the British criminal justice system) found his story credible and his claim is now legal fact. While it is not 100% proof, it carries a lot more weight than your suppositions based on total ignorance of the case and your own experiences, which have no relevance whatsoever.

6 years seems an awful long. Having to suck some dick is not nearly as bad as being forcibly penetrated in the rear.

How could that chub queen pull that off?

Haven’t we all felt raped after an interview at one point or another?
