Online, gay dating nightmare
“I have been a silly fool.”
Alan Wiseman, 59, after being convicted of harassing Abdulrahman Almoayed who he met on the Gaydar social networking site. Wiseman was convicted of sending a barage of graphic homophobic, racist, and harassing messages to Almoayed and his roommate, and was sentenced to 200 hours of community service. Wiseman allegedly claimed to be 35 years of age in his profile, and Almoayed turned him down after meeting face to face. (Edinburgh Evening News)
