A Texas man has been sentenced to more than 23 years in prison for targeting, kidnapping, and robbing gay men, according to the Department of Justice.
Daniel Jenkins, 22, is the last of four men to be sentenced. He and the other three men were involved in a 2017 plot to "lure" at least nine Grindr users to their apartment, where they held them at gunpoint, the DOJ release says. The Grindr users, under duress, then drove to nearby ATMs to withdraw cash from their accounts.
They created fake Grindr profiles to attract "men they perceived to be gay to a location to rob them," the release says.
He should be buggered three times a day while he is in the slammer.
The surprising thing is Texas prosecuting them, given the government’s hatred of all things sexual.
