Objective and Focus

Because, the intersectionality of crime and sexual orientation is particularly fascinating, the prime objective of this blog is to discuss and research cases that focus on crimes committed by individuals or against individuals that identified as gay.

More specifically, I ask what maladaptive behaviors, ideas, and attitudes among gay men and gay culture increase the likely hood of victimization?

Does pornography depicting hardcore sadomasochism, drug use, and anonymous sex normalize violence and aggression?

To what extent do contemporary societal perceptions of homosexuality impact the reporting, investigating, and persecution of crimes committed against/by gay men?

Charlie Chop-off


Identity unknown 

American serial killer that murdered three Black children and one Puerto Rican child. 

Active 1972-1973,  Manhattan, New York 

murders involved genital mutilation or attempt to remove the victim's genitals 

Erno Soto was the main suspect, but his mental instability renders him unfit and consequently makes his confession unreliable. 

  • Douglas Owens (8), stabbed 38 times. Genitals were mutilated but not completely removed from the body. 
  • John Doe, survived injuries however genitals were completely severed from body. 
  • Wendell Hubbard (9) stabbed, genitals also severed 
  • Luis Ortiz (9) stabbed 38 times, genitals were also severed 
  • Steven Cooper (8), physically attacked and slashed with razor, no mutilation to the genitals
