Man Accused Of Extorting BYU Student He Met On CraigslistSalt Lake City, UT - A Utah man has been charged after being accused by police of extorting sexual favors and money from an engaged, male Brigham Young University student whom he met on Craigslist.

Provo police say Brad Ray Adams, 36, met the unnamed 21-year-old BYU student Feb. 22 on Craigslist and the student subsequently sent him sexually explicit pictures. According to the police report, the two men also had consensual sex, which Adams videotaped without the student’s knowledge.

According to Provo police, when the student told Adams he didn’t want to continue the relationship, Adams reportedly demanded $260 to destroy the video and pictures. If the student refused, Adams said he would release the pictures and video to BYU officials, the student’s family members, fiance, and LDS religious leaders.

The threat of disclosure to BYU officials may have been seen as particularly troublesome as BYU students are bound by a strict honor code that prohibits students from having pre-marital sex. Although the honor code doesn’t specifically address their male students taking the sausage from men who look like pug dogs, it is presumed that this particular activity would also be met by BYU officials with disdain.

After the student paid the money, Adams reportedly demanded an additional $800 or $600 plus more sex. The police report said Adams also told the student’s fiance about their relationship, which ended their engagement. Police said Adams had claimed to his victim that he had “extorted money from several other men and ruined their lives.”

With his engagement destroyed and presumably being unable to pray himself out of the situation, the student then reported the extortion to police. On March 6, Adams was arrested during a sting operation when he accepted the $800 payment from the student.

Adams was arrested and charged with felony attempted forcible sodomy and three related misdemeanors. He had a brief court appearance earlier this month and, after posting bail, was released. He is scheduled for a court appearance this month.  Officials also reportedly seized Adams’ electronics to look for other victims.  Ruh-roh.

While BYU spokeswoman Carri Jenkins confirmed that the victim, if enrolled, would be referred to school’s Honor Code Office for potential disciplinary action, she did offer a message of hope saying that violating the honor code doesn’t mean immediate dismissal.

“Each case is handled on an individual basis,” Jenkins said.

    My goodness, keeping track of college students who have pre-marital sex must be a full time job! 

  • Sam

    Yeah, i would have tried my best to keep the fact that i voluntarily had sex with THAT a secret, too. Yeesh.

  • http://www.facebook.com/dre.mosley Dre Mosley

    I don’t feel all that sorry for the victim to be honest.  Adams is a scumbag(just look at him), but the BYU student shouldn’t have offered him his bunghole in the first place.

  • http://www.hillbillyhotdogs.com/ unimpeachablegoodguy

    This kid was doing fine till he sent explicit pictures of himself to another guy. What in the world was he thinking. Did the extortionist say i’ll show you mine if you show me yours? The kid was already engaged to be married so we know he was straight. It’s a little late to sew your oats on the way to the alter. If he was bi-curious he should have quenched his evil desires before all this mess.

  • newstarshipsmell

    Um, I fail to see how being engaged guarantees that he’s straight. You’ve never known anyone involved in a divorce where one of the partners came out of the closet later in life? Or are you just being sarcastic and I’m being dense?

  • newstarshipsmell

    Yep, no pity from me for someone who cheated on his fiance WITH THAT.

  • JGo555

    Why in the fuck is my university caring if I fuck around before I get married or not? Their fucking ass should be only included in my life if I am in shit for my classes and if I can’t pay them.

    The other thing is, if the fiance was a girl this dude did him a favor. Dude, if you’re bisexual is fine, but don’t marry a girl to make other people happy. Eventually you’ll be unhappy, you’ll make the girl unhappy (and traumatize: she could think she did something to make you gay OR that she couldn’t “cure” the gay off you OR that she was so bad to you that you cheated on her AND that you did it with a man) and btw, if no one cares about you because you’re gay: live your life WITHOUT THEM.

    No one needs people that do/think/are shit to/about them. You are who you are, love yourself.

  • Sam

    To be fair, we don’t know what the fiancee looked like…

  • JohnQknowitall

    I can’y imagine what extortion feels like to a victim. 

    My guess is the the student began to balk at the payments and the criminal told the fiance as a sign that he was serious. And, of course, this backfired.

    The kid should not have been engaged, sending pics, having sex via cl, or breaking the BYU honor system -BUT that is not against the law.

    I will say this: encouraging gay men to stay in the closet leads to women unwittingly marrying gay men and gay men being blackmailed.

  • newstarshipsmell

    JGo555, this is the MORMON university.

  • LeaveMeBe

    I don’t think the pre-martial sex should count against him as he wasn’t going to marry this guy.

  • Sam

    LMAO!

  • newstarshipsmell

    Well, since the wedding’s off, we’ll probably never find out. But I think it’s fairly safe to assume she is prettier than THAT.

  • OutOfBubbleGum

    Questions, questions, and more questions …
    Does Adams receive a W-2 or a 1099 from the victim?  And, I’m hopeless at understanding what would be his proper status for W-2 filling.  And, did he have to have a copy of his SSN card before this job occurred?  Was the proper US Citizenship background check applied? Since he had other employers or clients is he fulltime or part-time? And, payment, did his receive pay two weeks later as if he was an employee or did he wait 90 days after invoicing?
    As an American, I faithfully pay my taxes.  He should, too.  So, my final question is will he receive more time for extortion or for IRS Tax evasion?

  • Deety

    He could have brought God-knows-what kind of disease home from this guy, to a (presumably) nice Mormon girl who was waiting until she was married.

    And of course a nice Mormon girl’s parents wouldn’t have bothered vaccinating her against HPV, because that would encourage her to be a slut, and we all know sluts deserve to die of cervical cancer.

    This victim deserved what he got, and then some. I hope he gets completely outed to all his family and friends. I feel bad for anyone who feels they need to live in the closet, but that doesn’t give them the right to risk the health of others.

  • Deety

    And then it leads to the closeted husband deciding at some point to come out, leaving behind his family to run off to San Francisco and move in with some guy named Ted. Then his daughters grow up with serious daddy issues and become meth-whores.

    Okay, maybe not in all cases. But it definitely happens.

  • LeaveMeBe

    Congratulations! You are the first commenter to make me spew iced tea on my monitor and keyboard this week. Your prize is in the mail.

    “And of course a nice Mormon girl’s parents wouldn’t have bothered
    vaccinating her against HPV, because that would encourage her to be a
    slut, and we all know sluts deserve to die of cervical cancer.”

    That’s really very offensive. It has nothing at all to do with sluts, and everything to do with their conviction that her magic underwear would protect her from any and all harm, so long as she be of faith.

    I feel really bad for the student. To attempt to cover up who you really are for the sake of being who others want you to be has got to be so damned depressing. However, better now, than 35 years down the line when your children are grown and find out they have been living a lie. Ugh. What a mess.

  • DangerousKindOfSnark

    I see what you’re saying, but at some point he has to make a big boy decision. If you’re going to live your life by the morals of your religion than can’t pick and choose which ones you like. You either bite your bullet and make a conscience choice to be a miserable closeted homosexual or live your life as you wish. You can’t have it both ways.
    It’s a shame that the community he was part of made him feel the need to hide who and what he is, but no one is forcing him to do it. It’s a shame that this man was in a position to be taken advantage of and basically raped. I do feel bad for him, but my sympathies start to run dry when we are talking about adults who are more than capable of making their own choices.

  • LuvsHorror

    Hey, don’t insult us puggies! Pugs are cute, not ugly like that freak.

  • EveryVillainIsLemons

    Oh, God.  Why would anyone have sex with that Lemonhead-looking freak?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TQNRXAMACWQ7AQWGY6WMPACXBE David

    I agree to some point… but I just don’t understand picking a school like that in the 1st place, especially if you have any reason to feel you can’t hold up to those types of archaic by-laws.

    I learned a long time ago to not drink while reading things on the monitor. It took numerous refreshers.

    Is it wrong that I wish this story included fursuits? And those secret videotapes leaked to the net?

  • lalalandmamma

    Many religious schools have similar Honor Codes that would result in disciplinary action or expulsion.

  • newstarshipsmell

    Don’t worry, I’m all Equal Opportunity when it comes to mocking religions.

  • JohnQknowitall

    I don’t know about the daughter’s issues, but the secondary affect of a homosexual living is the closet for fear of his career, friends,  family and, in this case, religious (or equivalent) is taking other hostages including women and children.

    I think the closeted homosexual, at least at first, believes he can lead a satisfying life and no harm will be done. 

    No matter how it turns out there is at least one tragedy.

  • kniption

    “Pugs are cute…”
    So… this planet you are from, LH… is it nearby? 

  • JohnQknowitall

    I am not condoning anyone’s behavior, but desperate people do desperate things.

    Actually Christians do pick and choose what is a sin and what is not from old testament. The Sodom and Gomorra (Genesis) is at least on a scholarly basis questionable (i.e., original language and nuances at the time fo the literature’s writing. Most ignore that a child conceived out of wedlock ten generations down will not enter the kingdom of God (Corinthians).

    Denial and teaching a child self hatred are also factors.

    If you teach your child to hate homosexuals you may be teaching him/her to hate his/her self. At that point all bets are off.

  • Lena60

    So true Deety, I feel the fiancee dodged a bullet with that one.I don’t feel sorry for him either.

  • Lena60

    That pug mug is definately a cutie. :)

    lol EVL I thought he was one of your lemons.

    “If you teach your child to hate homosexuals you may be teaching him/her to hate his/her self. At that point all bets are off.”

    Most legacies we leave won’t be measurable until after we’re gone. Make sure it’s a good one.

  • DangerousKindOfSnark

    Just between you, me, and the internet I think they’re kind of ugly too. That guy looks like a pug, fat face, small features, and sunken eyes. You know it’s only going to get better as he ages and starts getting wrinkly. 

  • DangerousKindOfSnark

    Yes, that is wrong. Furries are never right. ;)

  • creamofflicka

    Honestly,. if someone is attempting to blackmail you,.. you have 2 options.  1. Confess everything.  or 2. Beat that fucker to a pulp from the start. No Balks, No Flinches.  Just unadulterated violence until you’ve made your point.  Blackmail never ends if you don’t end it youself.

    However,.. this particular situation couldn’t have a happier ending! ;)

  • kniption

    “Just between you, me, and the internet…”
    I admire your discretion.

  • Castille

    Best thing that’s ever happened to this victim. Now he’s got the opportunity to live an honest life freed from the burden of his former lies,  whichever way he goes with that.

  • LuvsHorror

    What, will he turn into a Sharpei?

  • Ninja0980

    From early on in life,Mormons,Bapists and other conservative religions teach their children that homosexuality is a sin,an abomination to God and that you’d be better off dead than to be gay.
     Virtually all gay and lesbians I’ve met or read about end up that come from these backgrounds end up being disowned by their families,especially if you’re Mormon. No surprise the suicide and attempted suicide rate among young men in Utah is among the highest in the nation.
     Combine all those factors and you’ll see why this guy did what he did in marrying a woman. If he marries a woman,all those thoughts will go away and he won’t lose his family. It always comes out though in one way or another. In this case,it came in the form of blackmail.
     I wish him and his ex the best. I wish jail for porky.

  • Texas Ranger

    What is this world coming to? You can’t troll for secret-dick on craigslist without getting killed or blackmailed anymore. This poor kid was just trying to have one last ass-reaming by pug-boy before getting chained to the ol lady. I can totally understand…NOT. Jeezus boy, if your gonna get caught fuckin around at least get caught with 2 or 3 hot chicks and on video at that. Fuckin Utah…I don’t get ya’ll. 

  • DangerousKindOfSnark

    At least you know i’ll never blackmail you because I can keep a secret. ;)

  • EveryVillainIsLemons

    No, that villain ain’t one of mine!

  • DangerousKindOfSnark

    Actually, Utah had one of the lowest rates of overall suicide for what is generally referred to as the suicide belt (http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/06/22/freakonomics-radio-hour-long-episode-3-the-suicide-paradox-2/). 
    I can’t find anything to back up the claim that it has the highest number  in the nation. In fact, states like Florida, California, and Texas have rates of suicide in the thousands while Utah’s numbers remain in triple digits (http://www.afsp.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewpage&page_id=05114FBE-E445-7831-F0C1494E2FADB8EA ). 
    Within Utah itself male suicide is four times more prevalent, but successful suicide by males is the norm everywhere. (http://health.utah.gov/opha/publications/other/suicide.pdf )
    I’m not saying that teaching a child to hate themselves is a good thing, but let’s not deflate our argument with spurious information that can easily be picked apart.

    Alright Caroll O’Connor

  • JGo555

    I didn’t know that it was a MORON university.

    I did that on purpose.

  • onlyme356

    “With his engagement destroyed and presumably being unable to pray himself out of the situation, the student then reported the extortion to police”

    Best line ever!

    As a side note, although Puggo is a creep for doing what he did, I think this big time cheater probably learned a lesson. What the heck was he thinking, he was engaged! Luckily his fiancee found out, as shitty a situation that it is, at least she didn’t marry this dude!

  • onlyme356

    You’re giving Lemon-Head a bad name, I think he’s just Lemon Head’s creepy uncle.

  • newstarshipsmell

    Yes, yes, obviously you are from PuggleWorld. That hardly answers kniption’s question “is it nearby?”

  • http://www.krashthrills.wordpress.com/ Anthony Mandich

    how much lower can you go then this scummy piece of shit?  pathetic doesn’t really begin to describe this bald headed bastard.  extorting cash from a young byu student so that he wouldn’t reveal to campus officials that the poor confused guy was having sex before he was married?  that is low.  really super low.  what a goddamn piece of shit waste of space fuck.  i sincerely hope he gets killed in some kind of accident in the next three weeks.

    If there is such a place do you really want to know?

  • http://www.facebook.com/dababler Dave Babler

    No sympathy for anyone in this story.  If you’re bisexual you should tell your partner and let your partner decide if you can have sexual activity with the same or opposite sex. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/dababler Dave Babler

     Confused? No, not confused, just wanted to project society’s image of perfection.  He wasn’t confused at all, I know guys like this supposedly “confused” college student, and they are cold, and calculating.

  • LuvsHorror

    Well of course it’s nearby, how else do pugs get here?

  • newstarshipsmell

    I wouldn’t pretend to know, but I’d make an educated guess that it somehow involves excessive panting, licking and drooling.

  • Deety

    This is good to know, because I’m planning on having illicit gay sex with you as soon as I can find you.

  • DangerousKindOfSnark

    Well, only if they boys can join in. I mean as long as we’re going for illicit… ;)

     Thank you!
