Three Gay Bashings Reported in WeHo in One Week

Three men attacked in West Hollywood between Oct. 18 and Oct. 22 say they were targeted based on their sexual preference, LA Weekly reported.

The attacks involving the alleged victims are presumed to be isolated incidents, according to the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station.

After a night at bar Mother Lode, Billy Mandrick was physically assaulted by a six-foot-tall white male with a shaved head who yelled a homophobic slur, as was described on the blog WeHo Confidential.

A similarly characterized attacker targeted Kasey Mahaffey on Oct. 19, reads the blog. As Mahaffey arrived at his house that evening he said he was assaulted.

Mahaffey said sheriff’s deputies from the West Hollywood station told him there was “nothing they could do,” according to LA Weekly.

The final alleged victim, Kyan Loredo, was beaten and robbed by his gun-wielding attacker Oct. 22, as was shared on WeHo Confidential.

An investigation into the three cases remains underway by West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station.
