I read a news magazine that interviewed a 28 year old man who claimed he was raped at the Convention Center, he said that men as well as woman were raped in New Orleans following the aftermath of Katrina. He also said that men who were raped would be to ashamed to seek help, he thinks that by speaking out about it, other rape victims especially men would have the courage to seek help. I know woman were raped but I don't know about men. Just wondering if you all believe that story, heard that story, or think that this guy is just making it up to gain some kind of fame. So again Do you think men were raping men in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina?

Probably. All the advocates talk about rape as not being about sex, but about power, and rape is a pretty clear way of demonstrating a level of intimidation. Besides, rape is claimed to be relatively common in prison, why not in the lawlessness of New Orleans at that time? It was also a great time to get away with any number of crimes.

You dont mention if the raped men were raped by men or women - both do happen.
I've not heard this allegation, but I expect it is true, but how many men affeted will be hard to establish.

The wolves and hyenas ruled the city in those days, so yes, probably, when people get into that lawless mode, no one is safe.
