Young, vulnerable and new to a big city: I became the target of an online predatorFive years ago, Rory was drugged and sexually assaulted by two men, who I met while using Grindr. Young, vulnerable and new to a big city – growing up without any LGBTQ inclusive sex education in school – I became the target for an online predator.It’s been difficult coming to terms with this attack, but five years on later Rory is telling his story on his own terms on the #QueerAF podcast, in the hope it might inspire others to be empowered by it.With thanks to Rory Boyle, Survivors UK, Stay Brave and David Stuart for support for this episode.Read Rory's opinion piece in the Metro now: https://metro.co.uk/2020/02/12/drugged-sexually-assaulted-online-hook-up-went-wrong-12213912/ Subscribe to #QueerAF now on Spotify, Apple and podcast apps everywhere.Supporthttps://www.survivorsuk.org/https://www.staybrave.org.uk/helpProducer Rory Boyle:Rory Boyle is a radio presenter, podcaster and event producer.
