British YouTube star Calum McSwiggan 'who faked gay hate crime injuries' admits vandalism charge
The 26-year-old Londoner claimed that a man and his friends had beaten him and broken his teeth outside The Abbey gay club , but the authorities said McSwiggan was seen hitting himself with a prison payphone.
McSwiggan, who is known to his followers on YouTube for discussing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues, pleaded guilty on Monday to the vandalism charge, according to The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Being accused of being a liar and being called a disgrace to the LGBT+ community, a community I've dedicated my life to, is more painful than any hate crime could ever be."
