A New Zealand woman who was sentenced to four and a half year in prison after pleading guilty to attacking a gay man has struck out in court. Again.
Laura Jean Landon was one of three assailants who assaulted a gay man in his home back in April 2016.
The victim, whose identity has not been released, thought he was meeting up a guy from Grindr. His doorbell rang. ?But when he went to answer it, he was ambushed by Landon and two males. One of the men had a baton; the other carried a gun.
“The complainant was then taken back to his apartment and subjected to degrading and homophobic abuse over an extended period, and threatened with serious violence,” court documents read.
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 assailants proceeded to ransack the victim’s home while accusing him of being a child molester and telling him all gay people should be put to death.
At some point, the victim was forced to watch Landon perform oral sex on one of the other assailants to show him “how it’s supposed to be done”. Then they demanded the victim also perform oral sex on the man.
“[The robber] (paradoxically, given his intense and sustained homophobic attack on the complainant) then told the complainant to perform the same act on [the robber], but the complainant refused,” court documents read.
That’s when the other assailant grabbed the victim’s hand, slammed it down on a table, and threatened to slice off each of his fingers with a cut-throat razor.
After terrorizing the victim for an extended period of time, the three assailants tore through his apartment, stealing jewelry, cash, credit cards, and the victim’s car.
Landon initially denied having anything to do with the plot, but her phones records told another story. Not only did police find the Grindr conversations with the victim on Landon’s device, but they also discovered she used it to contact people about selling the victim’s car.
Oh, and on top of all that, she also used his stolen credit card to buy gas and groceries.
After pleading guilty, Landon was sentenced to four and a half years in prison. This week, she tried appealing that sentence, telling a judge that, actually, she wasn’t really guilty, but rather she was forced to partake in the attack under threat of death by the other assailants.
The judge, however, was unmoved. He rejected the excuse, saying he believed Landon took part voluntarily, before dismissing her appeal.
“It is too late now to come to this Court and say you were compelled to carry out those actions, far too late,” the judge said. “Secondly, there is little to corroborate that particular account.”

Here’s a link from Stuff.co.nz, the New Zealand national newspaper: “Sex act between robbers part of hate crime heist of gay man.“

What a really strange group of robbers. No woman can instruct a gay man on “how it’s supposed to be done”.
I hope the victim is able to move beyond his trauma soon.

Hope the ladies in prison with the old B-tch show her how it is done.

Four years doesn’t seem long enough for major theft, assault and attempted rape.

Thanks Kangol, very sad situation. I’m glad the guy pursued charges. This is horrendous. I’d be interested to know what sentencing the two males received.

Strange indeed. He probably already knows how to do that, better than a woman. She should have done the penis in vagina thing. That’s what I don’t understand how to do.

It really makes no sense thinking that watching straight sex is gonna “teach” a gay man anything. Gay/homo-leaning men watching straight sex is really nothing new. Most 30+ year old men all over the spectrum grew up on mostly straight pornography and/or have had some type of hetero experiences. Even gay/homo-leaning eating pvssy or getting head from a female is really no big deal and is boderline common. It’s traditional, conventional hetero intercourse that tends to be more awkward for a gay/homo-leaning males or leaves them unfulfilled. And even if you can get enjoyment from it it’s not going to make you want a woman or fall in love with a woman or gain substantial passion and satisfaction or contentment towards a female. Of course, this is the logic of psychopathic criminals we’re talking about.

@Donston – I thought it was a case of homophobic antagonizing of the victim by forcing him to watch heterosexual sex to make a point that homosexual sex was the “wrong way”, until I got to the part where the male robber then wanted the victim to show him what he “learned” from the woman by giving him a BJ.
It’s a really strange story.

Sounds like a group of people contending with a fushion of paraphilias, internalized homophobia and/or psychotic instincts. A very strange and sick story, but unfortunately just one to add to the heap we get every week or so.

4 1/2 YEARS. WHAT A JOKE. WHEN SHE GETS OUT. WHAT HAPPENS.
paul dorian lord fredine
maybe she’ll be qualified to give lesbian lessons. after 4 1/2 years she should’ve been able to pick up at least a few tips she can pass on.

I guess there are all kinds of people, but I am gay and my attempts years ago to become aroused by a woman failed as my willy went to sleep. I had several experiences with other guys since I was seven years old, and my willy stood at attention, even though I had not reached puberty.
