Gay blindfold

Bearded Duarte Xavier used dating apps to lure his victims into his flat with photos of attractive women and insisted the men wear a blindfold.

A gay man has been found guilty of duping four straight men into sex after posing as a woman on dating apps such as Tinder .

Bearded Duarte Xavier lured his victims into his flat with photos of attractive women and insisted the men wear a blindfold.

The 33-year-old also met victims in a park, where he fooled men into having intercourse with him.

Four men were tricked into sexual encounters with Xavier - originally from the Portuguese island of Madeira.

Xavier, from Bournemouth, Dorset, made his victims wear blindfolds, a scarf and in one scenario - a pillowcase during sex.

Two victims had oral sex performed on them by Xavier, while the other two also performed anal sex on him.

He was found guilty of six counts of "causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent" with the four men.

Sitting in the dock, Xavier wore grey jeans, a white shirt and a black and grey hoodie with trainers

.Judge Advocate General Michael Hunter said: "In all sexual offences we must take into consideration the effect it has on the victims.

"It is a serious matter and it warrants a substantial term of imprisonment.

"These were offences that were committed by stealth.

"There was a great deal of planning that went into them.

"They call for a substantial custodial sentence."

The men, who cannot be named for legal reasons, gave their accounts of their dating app horror stories, beginning in February 2016.

Xavier was arrested three times in relation to the illicit romps, before evidence began to mount on his dating app trickery.

One victim said Xavier sounded like a woman when he arranged a meeting for sex in a telephone call.

They matched on Tinder and exchanged messages before meeting at a park at King George Park in Wandsworth, south west London.

Photos had been shared of a woman named Anna, along with images of a woman engaging in sex with a man.

The victim was fooled into having sex what he thought was a woman - only to discover the reality on the next meeting where Xavier hid in a bush.

While another said Xavier sounded "feminine" when they arranged to meet at his flat, before the pair had anal sex - which he believed was vaginal.

The victim said: "He had an extremely manipulative and controlling manner.

"I didn't consider for a moment that it was a male.

"During sex he tried to stop me from removing the blindfold from my face with a lot of strength.

"I reported it because I did not want it to happen again to anyone else."

One victim, who told Kingston Crown Court he matched a "good looking" woman call Anna on dating app Lovoo, was promised sex if he wore a blindfold.

They met at Xavier's flat in Wandsworth where the man put on a blindfold - before Xavier emerged and began to perform oral sex.

Describing how he felt, the victim said: "I was pissed off, when I took the blindfold off it was a man with a beard.

"I slapped this man in his face once or twice and I said 'why didn't you tell me the truth?'"

Xavier insisted another of his alleged victims knew he was a man - and only accused him of sexual assault because he couldn't get an erection.

The victim placed advertisements on Craigslist titled "Battersea Park Hookup" and "reward for sex" saying he was looking to pay a woman for oral sex.

After Xavier replied, the victim was duped into oral sex at his apartment.

He said: "I was told something about them being shy and that they didn't want their husband to know.

"On the phone I could hear their voice, they sounded like a Spanish lady, like a woman.

"At the house a voice, the same one I had heard on the phone, called me upstairs.
