“I just trusted him and he took advantage of that,” Boyle said.

He says Tigner started communicating with him via Instagram this year and Boyle went to Tigner’s apartment a few times to drink and hang out.

He says he was there alone on the night in question, drinking tequila and smoking weed with Tigner. He says he fell asleep on the couch and woke up to Tigner performing an unwanted sexual act on him.

“I just started hitting. I didn’t even see anything. I just started swinging, it was dark,” he said.

He says he packed up his things and tried to leave and Tigner offered him $50.
