Matthew Christian, a 44-year-old from London, met the victim on dating site barebackparty.com and had sex.
Without the knowledge of the closeted bisexual man, the video shows his face clearly on film. None of his friends, family or work colleagues knew of his bisexuality.
The video had been seen 150,000 times and shared across dozens of sites by the time it was pulled.
In a statement, the victim said he has been suffering from acute anxiety and panic attacks.
In defense, Christian claimed he was high on cocaine and crystal meth when he posted the film.
Christian was handed 22 weeks imprisonment suspended for 12 months.
Judge Joanna Greenberg QC said: ‘The private lives of each and every one of us is something that we are entitled to have respected.
‘In your case you abused the trust placed in you by the victim because he expected that his privacy would be respected.’
Christian was also ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work, pay £1,500 in compensation, pay £435 costs and complete a 20 day rehabilitation requirement.
He was also ordered to sign on to the sex offenders register for the next seven years.
Without reading your post or clicking that gay link, the issue doesn't hinge on free speech but invasion of privacy. In the US I'm not certain this is a crime per se (it's possible), but whoever recorded or posted the video could be civilly liable without doubt

Hulk fucking hogan

How could they prove the man being recorded didn't consent? Of course he is going to say he didn't because the video was shared with his face in it.
Wyatt Fisher
That wasn't shared by the people who took the video but by a 3rd party.
Bentley Morris
Theee is no expectation of privacy in a public place. However, this took place in private. There is generally an expectation of privacy when dealing with sex.
Oliver Collins
>In defense, Christian claimed he was high stellar argument
Isaac Jenkins
That's always the claim... >alcohol >sex addiction >drugs Never poor choice and irresponsibility.
James Cooper
>How could they prove the man being recorded didn't consent He would have requested that the video be taken down, also he was not informed the video would be uploaded. Therefore no consent or refusal was given, he apparently had no knowledge of it being uploaded. Therefore he did not consent. It's a cunty thing to do but he's a retarded that allowed himself to be filmed.
Also >Barebackparty.com >Closeted bisexual Faggot in denial and probably now has HIV, enjoy it fag.
Michael Reyes
Gays are fucking disgusting.
Ayden Watson
Indeed they are, let this be a lesson to him, his friends, coworkers and family have seen him act like a cock hungry whore. I hope he kills himself also the guy that uploaded it got a suspended sentence which basically means no jail time.
lel!
Oliver Martinez
Oh and now everyone knows who he is because the media has published the story.
Fucking kek.
Elijah Lee
Don't do faggy shit if you don't want to risk being outed as a faggot.
Women tier brains I swear. Only women do stupid shit without thinking there could possibly be consequences for their actions.
James Ward
>closeted bi-man ...?
Noah Morgan
It really depends on where it was filmed. If they did it in the open on the streets or at a park then it would be legal to post. However, if it was filmed somewhere where there is "a reasonable expectation of privacy" then it is illegal to even record them without their permission.
note that in front of an open window is public domain and anyone is allowed to stand on public property (sidewalks) or their own property (neighbors) and record video of stuff inside your house.

Aaron Hall
>In defense, Christian claimed he was high on cocaine and crystal meth when he posted the film. Oh well, I mean that's perfectly reasonable.
Thomas Jackson
It will be considered a "revenge porn", yes.
Jaxon Morgan
But this wasn't revenge. The guy thought it was hot and the other guy can't prove he didn't give oral consent.
Connor Diaz
It comes down to a question of consent and expectation of privacy. The victim was in a private residence and so had a reasonable expectation of privacy. Therefore the perpetrator needed consent to post the video. Regardless it probably isn't a criminal matter, but the victim should definitely sue the guy in civil court
Mason Johnson
Entirely depends on the state's wiretapping laws.
Lincoln Kelly
Well, where's the video?
Bentley Hall
In a non-one part consent state.
Connor Richardson
It's established law at this point that you must inform your partner and get their consent in order to record them in the act. If someone tries to pretend that they didn't really know, the evidence would be against them. There would surely be a moment in which they looked at the camera on accident, or better yet the camera could just be placed somewhere easy to spot to begin with.
Grayson Turner
He said he got consent. How can he be proven wrong?
Gavin Murphy
the state (federal government) can look through all your calls/private life with impunity but if an ordinary citizen invades your privacy he's fucked. No one should be able to do this, not even THE GOVERNMENT. Also I realize the situations are different since the government doesn't post it's findings in public, imo it's still nearly as bad that there are databases of your data out there with them.
Kevin Garcia
I don't see that in your article at all.
Alexander Ortiz
>I was actually committing multiple crimes at the time
Never understood this defense.
Charles Parker
Good on him for uploading the video. Faggots deserve to get exposed.
Jordan Mitchell
for once I agree.
Colton Garcia

lmao closeted/fags
Henry Nelson
>what is HIPPA
Brandon Anderson
How does that apply here?
Isaiah Ortiz
what the fuck is it with fags and crystal meth
Easton Watson
Dunno, I'm gay and didn't enjoy it. Also it causes HIV transmission to go way up by drying out the rectal lining and thus making it more susceptible to tearing, allowing semen to get into the bloodstream (with HIV).
Luke Young
why are you all so hateful to homos and bisexuals i dont have aids i have only had sex with one partner and it was with my fiance i make 200k a year as a sports psychologist im not a liberal, though i do care about classical liberal values i dont understand the vast hatred for people if they do not pursue the acts that you hate. If the gay pride, liberal brainwashing, postmodernist thinking, degeneracy, aids and other nonsense sanfranfaggo style gays are into, then what is it about people like me that you hate? I do not spread degeneracy. the only person I even think knows I am attracted to some men is my love of my life.
the reason I ask is because I never had any childhood trauma to turn me gay, never molested, grew up christian conservative, (still am, probably going to burn in hell but theres not much i can do there.) and when i started to be attracted to girls at an adolescent age, I also started feeling that way about some boys too.
Isaiah Hernandez
>LITERALLY "what is HIPPA?" fuck's sake kid, you asked a question, I gave you the answer no, it wouldn't be legal in my country where HIPPA happens to be a fucking law you fucking mongoloidal downy
Anthony Hernandez
Look up "chemsex". Gays like to stay up all night fucking and meth certainly helps.
Matthew Campbell
You didn't answer how HIPPA applies to this case.
Adam Bell
You animals are fucking disgusting.
Liam Clark
the bible tells us that you are a liar. Guess who I'm gonna believe, you or the bible
the CDC statistics call you a liar
oh but sure, you are that one snowflake homo that is pure and has 1 lifetime partner and all you wanna do is help people
As per the bible, which is the word of God, you are required to either abstain from sex if you have homosexual tendencies or start a normal family. End of story. God makes some people into eunuchs so that they can serve him more, this is a fact. You spit on his plan. Well guess what, it's not okay.
Isaac Bailey
hilarious btw, how you just proved once again that the bible is correct. You had a CHOICE. All homos in the bible were bisexual btw. You had a choice to be normal and follow what God commands you to do and you rejected him.
Adrian Gomez
okay well im sorry you do not believe me but im having trouble following you user
>abstain from sex or start a family I stated i have never had sex with a man, and am having children once I have a wedding
and how is it a choice at all? I did not choose to feel what I feel. I chose my whole life not to act upon my feelings. That is literally what the bible says to do, word for word.
Jaxon James
>In defense, Christian claimed he was high on cocaine and crystal meth when he posted the film.
How the fuck does this make it any better?
Christopher Perez
1. dont expect me to read anything that a homosexual writes
2. "I stated i have never had sex with a man, and am having children once I have a wedding"
Isaac Gutierrez
depends on the state. it is not a federal crime to my knowledge.
Easton Gutierrez
>I have only had sex with one partner and it was with my fiance my fiance is a female, therefore I am following the word of god when I choose not to act on urges.
Samuel Myers
lmao I was thinking the same thing
Oliver Rogers

Josiah Cruz
>i get the urge to kill people You need to get mental help just as much as the fags do, you sick fuck.
Or just put a bullet in your head.
Dylan Bailey
If he had been secretly recorded saying niggers should hang, would the judge have respected his privacy?
Levi Mitchell
>Judge Joanna (((Greenberg)))
Caleb Bailey
Yeah, you can have privacy unless it's the Government that is asking.
Cucked judge in a cucked country.
Jace Cruz
Good. 'Bi-sexuals' (bullshit term, what they flip a fucking coin in the morning?) and coal-burning are the reason for 100% of all cases of HIV in straight white men and women who don't shoot drugs.
I'm all for LG rights, but B and T and the rest of the alphabet they keep adding on can go fuck themselves.
Austin Reed
>all for lg rights And thats why you're going on the spike, too.
Jack Myers
Welp I didn't even notice that before.
Aaron Jenkins
Actually it is mostly Black and Hispanic men as well as transgenders (1/3 engage in prostitution who have been responsible for most new HIV cases in the past few years. New HIV infection rates have been declining significantly for the past few years among White gays in the United States and Kingdom.
Jose Sanders
>I'm all for my own personal brand of morality but fuck X
no waaaay
We have the bible, thanks. We dont need your little opinion on this subject
