A well known YouTube personality and LGBT activist who says he was attacked by three men after leaving a gay bar in West Hollywood is facing a criminal charge of making a false police report.
Calum McSwiggan, age 26, found his lying little British ass in hot water as he pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor count of falsely reporting to a peace officer that a felony was committed…and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office isn’t letting him off the hook.
On his Twitter account Wednesday, McSwiggan doubled down on his lie, “To reiterate, I did not fake this attack and am absolutely appalled that anyone would suggest or think that I did.”
He posted a longer excuse on his Facebook page in where he claimed that he left The Abbey with a guy he “took a liking to,” walked no more than five minutes away and blacked out after being punched in the mouth and kicked in the body…so clearly the attraction wasn’t mutual…
“I have spent my whole adult life campaigning for LGBT+ equality and did not take this attack lightly,” McSwiggan sanctimoniously claimed.
McSwiggan said deputies apparently didn’t believe that he had been attacked and took him to the station, where he hit himself once with a pay phone across the forehead in a holding cell so he could be taken to a hospital…
McSwiggan could face up to 364 days in county jail if convicted of the charge, according to the District Attorney’s Office. He is due back in court July 19….but on the bright side, prison could be a great place for him to pick up some willing guys…
