Well, this is disturbing.
A man is suing police after he claims a male officer sexually harassed him while he was lying in a hospital bed.

The alleged incident happened at an ICU unit in Adelaide, Australia back in 2012. The victim was admitted after suffering a gunshot wound.
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.
As he lay “helpless and recovering” in his hospital bed, the male officer allegedly made repeated “unwanted bodily contact” and “suggestive comments” toward him.
Despite telling the officer he wasn’t interested and that he had a girlfriend, the victim says the alleged harassment continued almost on a “daily basis” during his entire hospital stay.

After he was released, he says the officer tracked down his cell phone number and continued sending him “sexually explicit messages.”
To add another layer of darkness to the story, the man has asked that his identity remain anonymous because, local media reports, “he fears for his safety in his ethnic community where homosexuality is punishable by death.”
Police say the officer was disciplined for his actions but that no criminal charges were filed. Meanwhile, the officer denies everything.

Why was a policeman in his hospital room for days? Was he under arrest?
Nahald
Maybe the cop fell in love, who knows.

Not to diminish or distract from this story of horrendous behavior by the police, but could Queerty also see about publishing an article about these communities where it’s apparently a death sentence to have been assaulted by another man?
Juanjo
Ah yes, another one obsessed with details unrelated to the issue at hand. The poor man is probably a member of a Christian cult from the United States, like that one in Phoenix.

What are you one of them Trump xenophobes? What business is it of yours if they want to kill gay people? Check your privilege please.

I wondered about that as well. I mean, this cop abuse took place in Australia, not Saudi Arabia. So I too found that statement confusing. Do the Australian authorities know that they have “ethnic” (not religious–hmm) communities so homophobic they kill their queer members? Do they look the other way or are they on top of this? It’s a pretty inflammatory statement, if you probe it even a little, so maybe the Australian authorities should be looking into this clearly dangerous threat for some portion of Australia’s residents.

“he fears for his safety in his ethnic community where homosexuality is punishable by death.”
Yes I want to know more about this quote too. Why is Australia allegedly allowing one of its communities to punish gay men with death? Why is this not THE story?

@Juanjo I’m as anti religion as they come but don’t be so obtuse. You know damn well this is the Muslim side of things.

This story sounds pretty far fetched, but if what the guy says is true, it should be pretty easy to prove with the text messages. I’m curious if anyone ever confirmed those. If not, there’s really nothing to go on.
Ummmm Yeah
Well this just proves the don’t civilize when you let them into western countries.
To add another layer of darkness to the story, the man has asked that his identity remain anonymous because, local media reports, “he fears for his safety in his ethnic community where homosexuality is punishable by death.”

This story sounds like a complete fabrication.
Notright
Wait this is news because? It’s not even in America! LOL
Tête Carrée
I heard a rumor that they have Internet in Australia now.
Most Americans can’t identify America on an unmarked map so who will know the difference?

Doesn’t one usually push the button for the nurse at this point ? Where is the nurse when you need one? She must be in the broom closet giving a handy.

This whole story sounds fishy and is from the perspective of the “victim” suing for money….
More pathetic clickbait allergic to facts…..
Lacuevaman
im sure there’s much more to this story… view the video:

wonder why they are calling it sexual harassment rather than sexual assault or more appropriately sexual battery…
like I said, there’s much more to the story
