‘Paid gay sex’ smear of Medford mayor

The mayor of Medford had strongly denied charges by a California man that the politicians paid him for sex, and promised him a car and other gifts, according to the Burlington County Times.

“This is absolutely crazy. I have no idea who this person is,” Mayor Chris Myers told the Times. “Obviously, we’re dealing with a crackpot and someone who is pissed off at me in some way. There are crazy people.”

The accuser, who has not identified himself, made the accusation through an anonymous web site, in which he ran photos of a man who looked like Myers lying in bed wearing nothing but his glasses and a pair of blue Calvin Klein underwear. Other photos included Myers’ personal ID.

The website — which ran on a free hosting service called webs.com — is no longer functional. However, a version of the web site cached in Google’s archives said the accuser had been hired out through an escort service called Rentboy.com, and had met Myers at the Fairmont Hotel in Newport Beach in October 2010.

Though the escort said he did, indeed, get paid for his services, he claimed Myers drunkenly promised him a car and a sound engineering system on top of that. Since Myers never came through on that supposed gesture, however, his accuser felt justified in coming after him like this.

The Times said it had been tipped off to the story through a series of anonymous emails.

Myers told the paper that his business has him traveling a lot, including to California, but that he did not know whether he was there in October 2010, and he did not know where the photos had come from — whether they had been altered or taken covertly.

The former Republican nominee for New Jersey’s 3rd congressional district also speculated that right-wingers might be behind the web site, since he opposed the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on homosexuality.
