In a very scary story, Mason Wyler and his partner were held captive and repeatedly assaulted and raped for over 5 hours in their home in Dallas. If that isn't bad enough, Police accused him of bringing the assault on himself and they were charged $100 for a rape kit.
It started off very innocent when Wyler agreed to meet a fan that he thought was going to be deployed to Iraq at a Dallas club. Whler accidentally left his wallet behind and the attacker showed up at the couple’s house.
The meeting started off pleasantly enough, Wyler recalled. "The guy was hotter than his pictures. Real big and muscular. Me being who I am, I felt him up and then kissed him. He kissed me back. Then his shirt came off; then my shirt came off...."
The assailant-to-be told Wyler he was into muscle worship, and that suited Wyler just fine. When he wanted to move into edge play, Wyler said he figured "Why not?" He let the alleged captain bind his wrists, then blindfold him and later tie his ankles.
"That freaked my boyfriend out," Wyler said. "But I was like, you know, he's going to Iraq and we're being safe." Wyler's assessment of safe changed the moment the man pulled out a gag.
"I've always been afraid of that, I don't breathe well through my nose, so I breathe through my mouth a lot. When he wanted to gag me, I decided it was time to stop."
The captain, however, wouldn't take "no" for an answer, and when Wyler's boyfriend tried to run for help, he brandished a gun to enforce his will.
Wyler said the gunman repeatedly raped both him and his boyfriend over the next five hours. He beat them. He sodomized them with foreign objects and injected them with what may have been drugs.
"I thought it was a piss enema at first," Wyler said, "but because of the way I felt afterward, I don't know."
Wyler said things became a bit confused after that. He remembers loosening the restraints on his wrists and finding the assailant's gun within reach. He said he tried to fire it in the direction of his attacker's voice, but the weapon either wasn't loaded or was only partially loaded. Nothing happened when he pulled the trigger. The effort earned him more physical and verbal abuse. At some point, Wyler heard the assailant use a phone to invite others over to participate, but he can't say for sure whether any arrived or how many others may have participated.
"Eventually, I got so exhausted from fighting him and the drugs, I didn't even care anymore," he said. "I thought we were going to die."
Wyler isn't sure how he managed to get out of the apartment and go next door seeking help. He thinks the assault must have been over by the time he sought assistance from his next-door neighbor, who he believes is straight and a cop.
"Initially, that's what I thought would save us," he states. "I knew he was home and the walls and floors are so incredibly thin, I didn't see how he could not hear what was going on. Of course, I had this mask thing [made of tape] over my head, so I couldn't scream."
Wyler is coping with the assault better than he imagined although he said he is much more cautious about where he goes and who he talks to.
"Be aware that looks can be deceiving," he said. "[My attacker] didn't look like a rapist. What does a rapist look like? Just be careful."
