Neighbours Jesse in a Gay Media Smear by Nathan Yates Sunday Mirror, UK, 16th August 1998
NEIGHBOURS star Jesse Spencer has become the victim of a gay sex smear campaign. A bootleg video falsely claims to show the 19-year- old heart- throb taking part in a gay sex show filmed at a luxury Melbourne hotel after an Australian TV awards ceremony earlier this year.
But Jesse, who plays Billy Kennedy in the hit BBC1 soap opera, says it is not him.
Copies of the tape, which features a man resembling Jesse and another man known only as Adrian, are being sold on the black market.
Anonymous letters, faxes and e-mails - believed to be motivated by political opposition to Jesse's parents because they support Australia's far-right One Nation party - are spreading the allegations.
Jesse's mum Robyn, who leads the local One Nation group and is notorious for her anti-Asian and pro-gun views, said: "These people sent letters to us but I threw them out. They were about something that was supposed to have happened after the TV awards ceremony.
"But Jesse came straight home with his girlfriend that night. We will sue the pants off anyone who says this video is real."
Jesse's partner at the time was fellow Neighbours star Brooke Satchwell, who told friends she was with him all night when the video was alleged to have been made. Police are investigating the allegations.
