Three escorts allege they had sex with the late Senator Lindsey Graham, including one as a minor

Three male escorts claim they engaged in sexual encounters with the deceased Senator Lindsey Graham, saying one was only 17 at the time.

Three male sex workers have publicly asserted that they had sexual relations with the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, describing payments of $1,500 and $120 for the encounters. Their testimonies appear in a year-long documentary created by The Young Turks, which includes travel logs placing Graham and the escorts together in Washington, D.C., and Arizona. Cory recounts meeting Graham at the Mayflower Hotel, noting the senator's Southern accent and a preference for being degraded.

Kelvin alleges Graham contacted him in 2001, learning he was 17, and proceeded after the escort falsely claimed to be 18. Jesse also claims a similar liaison, stating that Graham's homosexuality was not a secret. The claims revive persistent rumors about Graham's private life that contrasted with his public anti-LGBTQ voting record.

Why it matters

The allegations challenge the legacy of a prominent anti-LGBTQ senator and raise questions about hypocrisy in politics.
