Ukrainian 'X-Factor' contestant tortured by skinheads

Alexander Bohun (pictured) is the most recent victim of Russian-based Occupy Pedophilia, a group of vigilante skinheads who torture gay men.

The ringleader of Occupy, Maxim Martsinkevich, recently fled Russia after hearing that he could face charges of extremism for abusing other men (though he managed to torture many people, film the abuse, and still remain untouched by Russian authorities for almost a year). Martsinkevich relocated to the Ukraine, which is where he targetted Bohun.

Bohun, who was a contestant on the Ukrainian version of X-Factor, was hoping to hook-up with someone he met on the social media site VK. Instead, he found Martsinkevich and some of his friends waiting for him.

LGBTQ Nation said that Bohun was threatened with violence and forced to confess to trying to meet a minor. He was covered in Jewish stars and homophobic words, and forced to use a dildo as a fake microphone. His head was shaved and Martsinkevich painted it with rainbow colors. Bohun was also forced to drink urine.

“I was referred to as “pedophile,” mocked, and forced to admit actions and desires that I have not committed in any circumstances, and I had to admit all that publicly,” Bohun told police.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs has launched a criminal investigation into Martsinkevich’s activities;   there are unconfirmed reports that he has fled the country.
