A HIV-positive gay
casanova is believed to
have conned nearly 200
young men of their money
and valuables besides
having sex with them. So
far, 193 youngsters have
claimed to be victims of
the man with at least
100 saying they had sex
with him before they
were cheated of money,
laptops and other items.
So far, 193
youngsters have claimed
to be victims of the man
with at least 100 saying
they had sex with him
before they were cheated
of money, laptops and
other items.
The victims, some
teenagers, said the
casanova claimed to have
fallen in love with them
to gain their trust.
His conquests were
discovered after one
victim posted a photo of
the man on Facebook,
and other victims
recognised him.
One, who only wanted
to be known as Lee, 24,
said he met ‘Alvin’
through Facebook last
August and they soon
carried on a
relationship.
“He came to my house
last month and stayed
with me for three days,”
said Lee, who lost
RM3,000 when the
casanova made off with
his laptop, wallet and
credit cards. He lodged
a report with the Kota
Damansara police
station.
Another victim, Kor,
22, said he had been
conned into sleeping
with the man two years
ago. “He said he loved
me and wanted me to be
his boyfriend,” he said,
adding that they had
spent tnight together in
a hotel before the man
ran off with the RM400
in Kor’s wallet.
“I want him to be
stopped before he harms
more people,” said Kor,
who has yet to get
himself tested for HIV.
The youngest victim,
17-year-old student Tai,
met ‘Kelvin’ through a
pen-pal magazine last
October.
“He invited me to
come over to a hotel
room,” said Tai, adding
that they had sex before
going back to Tai’s
home.
‘Kelvin’ then
disappeared after
stealing Tai’s laptop
worth RM3,000. Tai has
already tested positive
for a sexually
transmitted disease.
MCA Public Services
and Complaints
Department chief Datuk
Michael Chong said the
number of the casanova’s
victims was shocking.
“We believe there are
many more who do not
want to come forward due
to shame.”
