He claimed to have been targeted for a vicious attack because of his sexuality, and he blamed cops for not doing enough to protect him.
He said he was targeted because of his celebrity status.
Now, police are saying it was all made up — and they claim to have proof.
A gay YouTube personality who claimed he was assaulted outside a West Hollywood club has been charged with filing a false police report and faking his injuries.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department says London-native Calum McSwiggan was seen hitting himself with a jail payphone after his arrest early Monday. McSwiggan had claimed he was assaulted by three men outside a gay club, but deputies said they could not substantiate his claims and took him into custody after seeing him vandalize a car.
The 26-year-old wrote he was attacked by three men who broke his teeth in an Instagram post Tuesday that included a picture of him in a hospital bed.
He was charged Wednesday with one misdemeanor count of making a false police report.
A Facebook message sent to him seeking comment was not immediately returned Wednesday. He was released late Monday after posting $20,000 bail.
Sheriff’s officials released his mug shot, seen above, which was taken before he hit himself with the phone. No injuries were visible.
In a Facebook post Wednesday, McSwiggan admitted he hit himself in the head with a jail phone, but still insisted he was attacked outside the gay club.

Much like that cake that guy claimed the word f#g was written by an employee of Whole Foods, only find he was looking for a way to pay his student loans off.
That Whole Foods store is just up the road from me. I can’t understand why they didn’t go after this scumbag.
Seens Whole Foods has a inclination to shy away from controversy, including their recent intentions to NOT label their foods, if they contain GMOs, as they stated they would, in original announcement. The Whole Foods story came to light just recently in an article by Natural Foods website, exposing Whole Foods intentions in GMO labeling of their products, contrary to what they’ve promised otherwise.
As for certain gays, filing or stating false accusations and/or claims to gain monetary enrichment, by blaming and suing whomever for their ‘sufferings’ or ‘medical damages’ happens more often than not. This is not an unusual tactic for gays to use against those who they perceive to run afoul of their life-style politiko slant. I suggest people watch their backs when engaging the unsettled. limp-wristed out there, They will engage in dirty tricks to see their perceived antagonist arrested or suffer monetary damages due to their tactic of filing ‘ false charges’. Congratulations to the police, in this case for seeing through this gays thin facade.
A little correction: he was not just a “guy”, he was a PASTOR!!!
There’s a little difference between the two “titles”…
This is another gay rights activist who is trying to manufacture a problem in hopes of using it to advance the gay rights agenda. After the Orlando gay bar attack, gay rights groups began using the attack for fundraising. Gay rights advocates used the tragedy to call for a variety of measures that would advance their agenda.
We need to realize that liberal activists have no problem deceiving people if it allows them to advance their agenda. This guy was sloppy enough that he got caught.

Can we say pathetic and attention-seeking?
no, just say gay Limey.
It has become commonplace for left wing extremists to fabricate events in order to frame their narrative with “factual events”. They get caught& called out but there are no consequences so it continues. The uneducated, 60 second, 140 character public never hears the truth so they vote the lies. PUT IT OUT THERE & MAKE SURE THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES!!
Hear hear and well said. I’ve seen this before myself and they will stoop to any level, to gain the uphand to fullfil their agenda, at the expense of others who stand in their way.
Another queer agenda for publicity, now how he going to get others to pay his dental bills???
If this guy is a “London-native” , what’s he doing in our country??? Another nut case. Better get him out of here before he finds a gun…….
Queer liberal sicko, to be sicly grandstanding like this.
sicly? arghhhh. SICKLY
SICKLY how about SISSY…LY?
But if the damned POS white trash, bigoted Clinton’s did what he did, they would get away with and nothing would be done, the damned Clinton’s can do whatever they damned well please, but not anyone else-Double Standards.
What a lonely, pathetic, narscisstic scum bag! That is an all time low! I am sick and tired of PC bull crap! We HAVE to do something about this! We are losing our country fast! Any suggestions?
Everyone who is a registered voter, VOTE FOR DONALD J. TRUMP in November for starters, vote for those who are for Donald J. Trump and will give him the support he will need to get the job done.
YES, go Trump!!
Melissa’s mention of a “lonely, pathetic, narcissistic scum bag” apparently reminded Christopher of Trump. Fortunately 70% of voters have indicated that he repulses them so it’s unlikely we will have to listen to the blowhard after November 8th.
Round all of them up and remove them from America.
Boy you need some gay pride what is wrong with you I don’t think you are gay you need to set your dumb ass up and go back to where you came from or get a job ,you dumb ass .
No surprise coming from the left wing Obama worshipping nut jobs. He should get his ass kicked for pulling this crap.
