Duncan Roy: Director Trapped in Men's Central Jail

I know exactly how Roy felt and probably still feels, something like this situation is hard to get over because you feel so violated by people and systems that are suppost to protect us. I was also lost in the men's central jail system for a week. I was only suppost to be detained which they cannot hold you for more than 24 hrs. I also have the same medical condition as Mr. Roy, although I am not gay . I was never told I was under arrest. I had to be transferred from the e.l.a. sub station to mcj because of my medical condition. When I first arrived I was put in a holding tank with about 30 other individuals when there was about 5 other holding tanks empty. I felt like a sardine. The deputies inside must hate there job so much that they turn into headcases. I understand that I'm not in a hotel but it seemed like every time I was walking down a hall and a deputy walked by he cursed me for no reason at all. For some reason I'm not aware of I was placed in isolation. I was in a filthy room that smelled like urine for 23 hrs everyday, not to mention I didn't even get a shower. It really is inhumane and like a medievil dungeon that l.a. county should be embarassed about. I felt like I was in another country. I can't believe a place like this exists just miles from my home. I was there that whole week for no reason other than I was lost in the system. Something has to be done.

Aids and Herpes? That's a crappy combo for Mr. Roy although not surprising. He looks sickly.

This is otherwise known as "sue them until they glow in the dark".

Only in Russia, China, North Korea, every other dictatorship in the world and now USA, Great Britain and all other lovers of some form of democracy.

Interesting. Editor, there is a story brewing in the comments here. Either this guy is a slimeball who got what was coming to him, or he has a very obsessed stalker with numerous sock-puppets who is willing to run the risk of a libel suit. Maybe you guys should be looking into things like the IP numbers associated with the comments.

The most important information about this situation, the real estate agents name, is not in the article. That should be in the first couple paragraphs.

Here's some interesting reading about Mr. Roy. According to the people here, he got funny with their money...

I am shocked by the ugly comments that have been published in response to this extremely serious and disturbing article about a gay immigrant being denied his rights and held illegally in a California prison. To add insult to injury, the scurrilous and hurtful lies are made by vicious hate criminals, purporting to be members of AA - which patently they are not or they would never participate in such cruel, homophobic bullying and witch hunting. Presumably, all the media attention has touched a nerve with some of the bad apples in the county Sheriffs Department or court system, who are scared s***less that they will lose their jobs or be brought to justice for their flagrant abuses of power and victimizing innocent people, notably immigrants and gays.

Breaking someone's anonymity is a despicable act and unforgivable. It is one the most sacred tenants of every 12 step program. Roy out's people on a regular basis.

Only a complete and utter low life would threaten to disclose someone's participation at an AA or SAA meeting in order to back out of a real estate.

Duncan Roy is not victim, he is a volunteer.

Presumably due to the budget cuts in California and the very poor standard of education, as well as the desperately low pay and extremely desperate shortage of recruits in the Sheriff's department and the office of the District Attorney, lynching, bullying and gay bashing by the authorities in now going online. Sheesh! I guess it IS the greatest country on earth, if you wear a uniform and got a lobotomy instead of a high school diploma.

Welcome to Los Angeles County's broken, corrupt and sadistic criminal justice system. Mr. Roy's case, as Kafkaesque as it is, is far from unique.

May Ayatollah Baca and the entire Los Angeles County D.A.'s office choke, die and burn in hell.

Milton , only you and your twenty other personalitys are the ones slandering Duncan. The article is journalism , what your typing is internet bullying and lies . Whacha gonna type next , that Duncan was the lone gunman? Geesh , have a nice Holiday and grow the hell up.

It is always good for the community to identify a stalker. Duncan Roy needs to be stopped before he harms anyone else. LA is too fertile a ground for his MO of attending neighborhood help services like AA just to be a preditor. Now that he has been exposed he will no doubt flee to Europe and change his name again. It is really quite sad but for the safely of our children, people who are afflicted with this type of deviant behavior need to be removed from the open population. Send Duncan Roy packing before he harms society any more with his sick mental behavior.

I don't really know Duncan, but we have a mutual acquaintance and once not too long ago, I was in a bit of distress. We conversed a bit electronically and he reached out to me -- a stranger -- with some wise and kind encouragement. It's awfully lousy for people to post these mean comments, anonymously.

Duncan Roy "is a "fake movie producer", pathological liar and blackmailer. He meets men as meetings them blackmails them to date him or whatever else he might need. Having been in the "AA scene" I have seen this first hand and its disgusting. We go to AA to get help but also to maintain our anonimity so that our private lives remain private. Just by giving interviews and blogging about it - is a breach of AA rules and could be hurtful to many families and individuals. Duncan should be deported.

My goodness, this man is more reviled than I previous believed. I'm almost certain he fails to realise how truly despised he is. Duncan is nortorious sexual predator at AA meetings where he can be seen openly trying to seduce young newcomer males. My sponsor back in the UK warned me about him before moving to Los Angeles.

Duncan writes what is real and honest , obviously this is someone who wants to discredit him and has a homophobe going on.D has always been straight forward about who he is and how he feels and what happened to him is another case of justice gone wrong,with enemys who dont want the truth out there.

Duncan Roy needs to be in jail for what he has done. I met him in AA and it was obvious to me and a few other people that he was there for other purposes than to get help for his addictions. I think he uses the meetings to get clients or do business. He seems more interested in the people personal lives than getting help for his problems. He is one weird dude.

Anyone who knows Mr. Roy can tell you he is a con artist, a criminal and a pathological liar.

I have also heard about Duncan Roy's long history of blackmailing people. He seems like the worst type of evil. His despicable reputation has finally caught up to him. He apparently deserves all the unpleasant things that prison will now provide for him.

A special arrangement should be made for Duncan Roy to share a cell with Jerry Sandusky. While they both prefer to abuse young boys perhaps they can close their eyes and imagine that while they pass AIDS and HERPES back and forth. If you believe everything you read online you might think that a groundswell of people who Roy owes money to will lynch him before LA picks him up again. Let's see, is Roy to be deported or put into a US Prison first?

He seems like a complete lier. I don't feel sorry for him at all. It's good to see that our police force is getting these criminals off the streets.

He is guilty as charged. Anyone who knows Duncan Roy knows him to be a crook. He is in jail because he deserves to be there.

This Duncan Roy guy is a pathological FREAK! He finds his victims at AA meetings and sex addiction meetings and then extorts the members. He's a con man and needs to be jailed.

Deport him

Instead of making Dorian Gray he seems more suitable to do a remake of Thunderball and he can be the star. Redtube has been looking for some new material. Is it possible for LA to lower it's standards more than it already has? Break out the Valtrex, AZT and cheesy HD camcorder. Here comes Thunderball himself, Duncan Roy.

Why does Richard Rushfield find this pervert worthy of publishing in an article? Gay is as gay does. Let Duncan Roy spread his HIV and let's keep it out of the papers.

He is toxic to the community. He gave you herpes? Big deal, he gave me AIDS. I was under age at the time and he not only abused me, he ripped me off for $500 in cash I had under the bed and then I never saw him again. The only thing Duncan was good at was making illegal child porn and come to think of it, he wasn't too good at that. Let him rot in jail, bastard!

While I hate to admit it, I had a relationship with Duncan and he gave me a bad case of herpes. I am still sore back there especially now when there is a full moon. Duncan is a very friendly guy and perhaps the inmates should not get too friendly with him.

Make no mistake here. Roy is a con man and an extortionist. He'll slip his private parts anywhere they need to go to achieve his goal of stealing as much money as possible out of his victim. Jail is too a place for him. When you see this guy coming, zip up your pants and run the other way.

It sucks for anyone to be in jail. But this guy was threatening to out a famous gay man - thats just plain wrong.

What is this - a press release from this guy's publicist? There is WAY more to this story then what's being told here.

They don't arrest someone for extortion for threatening to tell the truth. What was Roy really going to say?

I happen to know that the blog Roy threatened to publish he actually put up and password protected it to threaten his ex-boyfriend with slanderous statements about the ex doctoring the geological report and lying about his ex's sexual addiction in detail. This is called exortion and is not only a crime but a cardinal sin to anyone who has ever been involved in any type of addiction programs where your confidentiality is supposed to be protected.

Don't believe everything you read people. This is a fluff piece to make this guy look good. He has 4 small claim judgments against him. He has issues

Duncan Roy is a freak. He is an extortion artist posing as a porn director. He is in jail because he deserves to be.

Well he is an ass hole but nobody deserves to be punished when they are innocent. Even ass holes.

Hope it all works out for him.

If there is one thing I am certain of it is that conditions in LA county jail will only get worse.

I am sure there is another side to this story and hope you report it
