Marcus Wyler: "I Got Raped Too"

I GOT RAPED TOO

By Marcus Wyler
10/12/2008

When Mason first said the words "We were raped", to a person we have never met before, I was infuriated with him. I wasn't ready to admitt to myself that it had happened, and so telling other people felt out of the question to me. My way of dealing with the problem was to put all of those nightmares and memories in a box and try to forget about them. I wanted to hide them away from the rest of the world as if the whole ordeal never occured. I didn't feel comfortable lying about it when people asked me "What happened to you?" but I didn't feel like talking about it either. I felt like going silent, turning myself into a mute.

Mason on the other hand felt like venting all of his emotions to anyone and everyone who asked, looked, stared, talked, or walked in any way shape or form that made him feel like they were curious about what happened to his face. As uncomfortable as it was for me to be with him while he divulged the details to a listening ear, I was too afraid to be away from him so I withstood it.
I understood that way dealt with the trauma in different ways and as always, I put my feelings aside because I wanted to see him happy.

When Mason told me he was going to post a blog about it for everyone to read, I freaked. It was already bad enough that I was always referred to as "Mason's Boyfriend" instead of my actual name, I didn't want "rape victim" tacked on as well. I didn't want my shame and humiliation to be public, I didn't want other crazy people to know where we lived, and I didn't feel the public had any right to know.

But Mason didn't feel shame or humiliation, just anger. He wanted to express his anger publicly, he wanted people to offer their sympathy, and he wanted to find people who had experienced the same thing and vent with them. I didn't see anything wrong with that. I mean when I am angry, its nice when I meet people who are in the same boat as me, who can relate to me, and WANT to talk about it. It's just that I was ashamed, not angry, and I didn't want to talk about it, so Mason couldn't really rely on me for that.

It was clear that if he we both wanted to deal with the situation in our different ways that we would have to compromise. He wanted to report what had happened but he wanted to make sure I was OK with it. I told him to erase me from his story, I told him to change certain details, and he did so willingly.

Now I am not the type of person to really care about what strangers on the internet have to say about my life. Tons of people never believed I was Mason's Boyfriend until they saw me with him in person so I've learned to just ignore the doubters. But when Mason showed me what alot of you had been saying about him it kicked my shame to the curb and got me enraged. I not only felt like people were attacking my boyfriends credibility but I also felt like they were demeaning the extremity of my own experience.

I have always been happy to just sit on the sidelines while Mason basked in the spotlight but since so many of you felt the need to pull apart Mason's story and try to cast this as a mere publicity stunt, I felt the need to defend the facts.

I know some of you people are impatient and like to jump to conclusions but try to bear with me here. This is the first time I have openly spoke out about it.

First lets establish some general facts.

1. Legal Name

Mason's real name, partially censored for privacy reasons, is Me Be Ace.
Of course some documents list the Last Name (Surname) 1st, the First Name 2nd, and the Middle Name 3rd as is the case with the Texas State License.

2. Location

Me Ace and I lived on Main St Dallas, TX 75202 when the crime happened.


Now lets establish facts involving the legitimacy of our rape claim.

1. There are two people who were raped. Me Ace and Myself.

This is Me Ace's Report Record

And this is my Report Record

Please note that the police filed separate reports for the both of us. If you compare the two reports you will see that the info given on our address matches up, the Officer REVIEWED BY: 47458 is the same, the investigator assigned is the same, and the date and exact time is the same. So it is clear to anyone with half a brain that these two people were raped together and reported the same crime.

It is also clear that these two people lived on the exact same street as did Me Ace and I during the date this report was taken.

2. The Date of the Crime

The date of the crime according to the police reports was 9/20/2008 at 20:00(8pm) meaning that is about the time the rape began NOT the time the police were called.

Below are Ace Me's Parkland Hospital Paper's he received after the rape examination was completed.

Please note the dates and the wording in the document listed below. I am not trying to imply that anyone is dumb but just in case you did not know what a contusion is, it's a bruise.



3. Correlation to Rape claims from Ace Me and Myself

The Hospital Receipt


Our Bank Statement

Please note, underlined in RED is the $100 charge from Parkland hospital on the exact date as the documents listed above. Underlined in BLUE is charge that correlates with the 2nd page of my police report which is listed below the Bank Statement.



Page 2 of my Police Report.

In case you are having a little bit of trouble putting it all together, Ace Me and I went down to Houston on 9/18/2008 to visit family. On the morning of 9/20/2008 we stopped by Spec's liquor to purchase some alcohol before heading back up to Dallas. Included in that purchase was a bottle of Level Vodka. We arrived back in Dallas around 6:30PM. The rapist asshole showed up around 8pm. The raping ended and we escaped around Midnight or so. We were taken to the hospital around 4am the morning of 9/21/2008. They charged Ace Me and I for the rape kits, I do not have health insurance and therefore I skipped out on the bill.

Yes, a couple of these facts do not match up with Mason's original posting but those details have nothing to do with whether or not he was telling the truth about getting raped. It was I who asked him to change those details. I don't need to explain why and I don't need to defend my reasons. No, I will not go into every gritty detail nor do I feel the public has any right to know. Read the short description in both Police Reports, thats all you need to know. The evidence above speaks for itself.

***I INVITE ALL OF YOU COMPUTER WHIZZES AND PHOTOSHOP EXPERTS TO STUDY AND DISSECT THE PICTURES ABOVE, THEY ARE ALL REAL AND UNDOCTORED***

For those of you who believe this was just a ploy of his to make money and sell more videos let me just clarify a few more things.

Mason does not make ANY money from video sales, he is not paid any royalties, and I highly doubt getting raped would increase sales anyway. As I understand it, most porn stars are paid a one time fee for each scene that they do.

And despite what some may believe he is in no need for money. Yes he did a fund raiser (which was very successful btw) but who wouldn't want to make extra money on the side if they could? He continues to get plenty of work in the adult film industry and in the next few months you will have even more proof that he is in no way strapped for cash.

Furthermore, claiming to have been raped would not get him more work and Mason is not stupid to believe it would have. People who have been claiming that are way out of line.

For those of you who say he made it up for attention. Well that is partly true. He didn't make it up but I'm sure the POSITIVE attention he got was something that he wanted and probably needed. Like I said earlier, he wanted to vent to people who were willing to listen. And I know this is biased because I love him, but I didn't see anything wrong with that even though it was not how I was dealing at the time. Everybody here knows that sometimes getting alot of attention in a time of need is a good thing and sometimes being left alone is a good thing. It all just depends on the circumstances and your personality. Grabbing for attention does not discredit someones story.

Keep in mind that he didn't tell people just for the attention, he wanted to alert our gay community that there are still bias towards us amongst the rest of society. But it seems like there is more bias within our community. Its amazing how quickly some of you daytime masturbators turn into self righteous bashers.
