We’ve all heard of hook-ups going wrong, and to be honest, most of us know that from first-hand experience.

This incident, however, goes far beyond anything we’ve had the trauma of encountering. The couple – whos names have been kept confidential – had a threeway with a younger guy of 19, before he later reached out to them claiming they gave him an STI.

He then demanded money from the couple, without giving them any evidence that he had in fact contracted an STI or that it was indeed from them.

There’s still no confirmation whether this was true, but for one reason or another, the couple began to pay him; a sum that totalled around €4000. That’s one pricey hook-up.

At 1am on Monday morning, the couple heard a knocking on the door, only to find four masked men standing there demanding money for the “infected” twink. Refusing to pay any more, the couple were then tear-gassed.

The group scurried immediately after the attack, and the police have been unable to find the twink in his home. The investigation is ongoing.
