Man pleads guilty to tricking straight men into gay sex for porn

A man who pretended to be a woman in order to trick at least 80 unsuspecting men into having sex with him for porn videos has pleaded guilty.

Bryan Deneumostier, from Homestead, Florida, admitted he duped 150 men into sex acts—more than half of whom didn’t know he was recording—and uploaded the videos to subscription-based porn site StraightBoyz.

Deneumostier pleaded not guilty in July, but changed his mind and admitted two counts of illegal interception of oral communications after prosecutors agreed to drop three related charges as part of his plea deal.

The 33-year-old will be sentenced on November 29 and faces up to 10 years in prison, though he is expected to be handed less time behind bars, according to the Miami Herald.

The federal court in Miami heard how the defendant went by the username susanleon33326 online, posing as a “real, heterosexual female” in Craigslist adverts which invited men for sex at his house near Homestead Reserve Air Base.

Deneumostier then uploaded videos of the resultant sex acts to Straightboyz, which authorities said he helped to run for four years.

The website, which hosted videos of straight men being conned into gay sex while they wore blindfolds or black-out goggles, has now been taken down, but many of its more than 600 videos are still available online.

“The site offered for streaming approximately 619 ‘hook up’ videos that depicted sexual activity between Deneumostier and other men,” the US Attorney’s Office said.

“The defendant had surreptitiously made audio and video recordings of the sexual encounters, without the victims’ knowledge or consent.

“He later sold the ‘hook up’ videos to a third party located overseas and caused them to be posted onto the website.”

Agents working for Homeland Security Investigations discovered that at least 80 of the men had no idea that their sexual acts were being filmed and would later be posted online.

A law enforcement document stated: “When the men ask for assurances that there are no cameras, he assured them that ‘she’s’ married to someone in the Army and she would never photograph or video them.”

But in reality, the report added: “Deneumostier is video- and audio-taping the entire sexual encounter.”

Deneumostier’s Assistant Federal Public Defender D’Arsey Houlihan declined to comment after his client changed his plea.

A police report also shows that earlier this year, Deneumostier was charged with having sex with an underage boy at Homestead’s Floridian Hotel.

In 2015, a woman was found guilty of sexual assault after duping a fellow student into having lesbian sex with her by pretending to be a man.

And in 2011, a Scottish woman was jailed after tricking women into sex by pretending to be a man.
