Three male escorts in a new documentary have alleged that late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham paid them for sexual encounters, including one who says he was 17 at the time.

The CLOSETocracy, produced by Swamp Watch Studios and Tystnaden Films and released by the left-wing Young Turks network, features testimony from men who say Graham paid them for sexual encounters in Arizona and Washington, D.C. The allegations have not been independently corroborated.

One of the men, identified in the documentary as Kelvin, alleges he met Graham at a property in Arizona in 2001, when he was 17. He claims Graham paid him $120 for the encounter.

“My name is Kelvin. I had sex with Lindsey Graham when I was 17,” he says in the documentary.

for what? his re-election? GOP voters love diddlers and rapists.

They're criticizing these men for not coming forward earlier.

Because it's totally ok to put the blame on victims instead of Lyndsey fucking Graham.

I'm not criticizing them for coming forward. They deserve support. I just don't see a point in the media focusing attention on this after he's dead. Their are far too many still living problems to deal with to be dividing focus towards dead ones.

Victims should be able to tell their story in their own time without criticism.

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 42 minutes ago

This was known before, Graham helped keep the stories out of the mainstream, and victims are allowed to share their stories.

Least shocking reveal in history.

Of course it comes out after he's dead (I just remembered that he's dead, which was a nice pick me up)

I thought he was alive again for a second.

[-] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 29 points 15 hours ago

Shocking... that I completely forgot he died. Huh.

Too bad they couldn't come out when he was alive. I know times were more tumultuous then but, it would have been more advantageous in my politics riddled brain if they had.

I hope they heal from whatever traumatic sex acts Lindsay may have subjected them to. I always assume conservatives try to push past people's boundaries.

Nah, some of this stuff was coming out when he was alive. Just wasn't advertised much, you had to go find the info. I think everyone that paid attention knew Lady G liked his little boys.

[-] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

I only heard about ladybirds around the time he died and I haven't gotten over that trauma yet. I mourn for their souls which must have died at least a little

I don't find any of this particularly surprising. Graham was a fascist, of the party of pedophiles for his entire life. Frankly, age gaps is what defines pedophiles, so it isn't anything special besides being statuetory rape.

There. Fixed that for the other commenter. I hope. Maybe someone will point out something they don't like, but I hope I covered it well enough. heh.

Now at the end of the road it comes out that he paid a lot of people, from boys to men, for sex. “I’ll make love to you” he would say, before pulling out his wallet and offering cash on bended knee. In the still of the night he would get so hard and say “good buy” & “yes, today”.
