Tampa Massage Parlors: Fla. Editorials Gang Up on Attorney General’s Support of ‘Rentboy Rekers’
May 15, 2010The editorial drew an unflattering comparison between McCollum and Rekers, noting that, “Attorney General Bill McCollum and George Rekers have this in common: They were both happy to hire sleazy services, and they knew what they were getting for the money. Now both are having trouble explaining themselves.”
Rekers had told the press that he had hired 20-year-old Jo-vanni Roman to act as a luggage porter because Rekers was unable to hoist his own luggage following surgery. Rekers also claimed that the European trip was well underway before he learned that his travel companion was a male escort–despite having hired Roman through RentBoy.com, an online clearinghouse for escort services.
Rekers, who co-founded anti-gay group Family Research Council and was until recently a board member of “ex-gay” group NARTH, threatened to sue over media suggestions that he is closeted. But Roman told the press that he was not lifting luggage for Rekers; rather, the young escort said, his daily duties included giving Rekers erotic massage.
