10.07.00 - Email from Mr.Great Britian Paul Mutagejja Subject ManHunt_Fraud My name is Paul Mutagejja and I represented Great Britain in this years event. From the first night of the contest i was made to feel very uncomfortable by the hosts. From the second day of the contest I was propositioned to perform sexual acts, money was used as an incentive. On a few occasions I was physically assaulted, it was made clear to me and the USA candidate that if we let people know about these activities we would be very sorry. These activities made me feel violated scared and physically sick. I thought I owed it to myself to distance myself from the contest. Shortly after myself and the USA candidate had made our decision to drop out of the contest the element of pornography entered the fray, this as everyone knows is illegal in Singapore, this indicated to myself and the USA candidate that underworld connections were behind the event. With this in mind, myself and USA candidate became frightened, this prompted us to get in touch with the British and American embassies, they told us to basically get out of the country as soon as we could. The USA candidate left a day before I did on this day scared for my safety I made a formal report at the local police station. In the evening scared for my personnel safety I barricaded my hotel door and did not sleep all night. I was also interviewed by two reporters from The Straits Times, Danny Chua and Vicram. I was glad to get out of the country alive. Paul Mutagejja (MR GREAT BRITAIN)

10.06.00 - Email from Mr.Cyprus Marcus Platrides To pd@instantmessenger.net Subject Mr.Cyprus Marcus Platrides (Manhunt International) To whoever this may concern My name is Marcus Platrides and I represented Cyprus in the Manhunt 2000 competition in Singapore. I was the winner of the Mr.Sporty individual competition and I was told that I would receive a trophy, a sash, a pocket diary and 300 singapore dollars in cash prize money. To my utter surprise, the only thing I received was a trophy that said " runner up of traditional costume competition" and the digital pocket diary. When the event was finished I approached the female director of metromedia and asked her for my money and she said that there was no money and that if I didn't stop complaining she had the right to take my trophy and my digital pocket diary away. In a matter of minutes she started shouting at me infront of 2 other contestants one of which gave her a dirty look and went away. The result was that I got my wrongly labeled trophy and pocket diary confiscated and also my national director was called up on the phone and was told many lies and things that I did not possibly say. What happened next was unbelievable. After at least a half hour of arguing about the fact that I wouldn't get any money, the woman told me that I was going to get the money sent to my national director which was infact a load of BULL just so that they could get rid of me!!!! it was so obvious. At that time, I simply got my trophy and my digital pocket diary from the box in which the woman had placed them, and left. The money is yet to appear. I also know for a fact and have proof that Mr.Canada Jimmy Hadjikiriakos was set up. A few hours after the paegant was finished Jimmy came up to me in a very sad look and told me that somebody had sent a fax saying that he was a PORNOSTAR and that he also posed nude in many magazines. This fax was given to the judges by Alex a few moments just before they announced the Top Five. I had the opportunity to meet and make friends with Jimmy throughout the course of the paegant and we also speak the same language (Greek). I know very well that Jimmy would never do such a thing. I have never been shouted at before so much in my life by people that I never knew. They are very rude, very impolite and EXTREMELY UNORGANIZED. Needless to say that Mr. Singapore University was performing lesbian acts at the back of the bus infront of everybody. I even have a photo. All I have to say is (excuse the french) I hope you nail the bastards ! .Thank you your's sincerely, Mr.Cyprus Marcus Platrides

09.26.00 – Singapore
by Paul Daniels

Records revealed today, from the British Embassy as well as the U.S. Embassy in Singapore, that two contestants in an alleged men’s modeling competition called ManHunt International, who’s nickname is commonly referred to as “BoyHunt” by the gay community were alleging severe sexual misconduct. The two models, Christian White from the United States and Paul Mutagejja from Great Britain, were two of the 36 total international contestants that decided to leave the event when, in a competition at the famed California Fitness Center in Singapore (24hr Fitness Network) a 6 ft long rubber snake was pulled slowly, in a symbolic gesture of the male organ,  out of a dancing entertainer’s underwear during an intermission   while the judges were counting ballets. On hand was Eric Levine CEO of California Fitness Centers to cheer on the event which came complete with the showing of the entertainers buttock at the finale.

Other allegations include upon arrival at the Mandarin Hotel in Singapore Mr. White found a male in his bed at the hotel and a guide to homosexual nightclubs in Singapore on his pillow. Large sums of money were offered for homosexual favors by the event founder and Mr. White and Mutagejja were tricked into photo sessions with a transsexual.

Mr. White landed back in Los Angeles today and said “ It is a sad day when people can use the internet and marketing to lure me and professionals like me, half way around the world for sexual purposes.” “One event they had spectators seated in the dressing area along with a professional video crew filming the naked models while they were dressing” said a concerned guest of the event.

Other reports of hidden video cameras in the dressing areas along with seated spectators, as well as waking up in the middle of the night with someone sitting on their bed and having their leg fondled were included in the reports filed at the foreign embassies in Singapore in the last two days. The Singapore police were also notified and a official complaint was given by Paul Mutagejja of Great Britain.

Mr. White and Mr. Mutagejja have retained Matt Rubin of Williams, Birnberg, and Anderson to have all their images removed from websites and other materials in use by this alleged modeling organization. After an interview with the Los Angeles Times
the two models said they "were on a mission to inform the world of this type of misbehavior in the modeling industry."

“When I told them I was leaving they said I had one hour to get out of the hotel. Luckily a foreign journalist helped me move my luggage and get me to the airport the next day or I would have been homeless in a foreign country” said Mr. White, a professional model and trainer.

White further stated that “The Duty Officer at the U.S. Embassy, Sgt. Simon, U.S Marines said that they were not dangerous people and not to be scared but get out of the country ASAP!”

Mr. White and Mutagejja both feared that "the naked photos taken without their permission would end up on the internet and ruin our careers and that is why hiring the attorneys was very important."

Mr. White further stated that "California Fitness Center which goes by 24 hour Fitness in the U.S. along with ManHunt representatives specifically told us that we would have a fitness contest for $10,000.00 cash with other prizes included. I won the competition fair and square and the organizers changed the rules thereafter to avoid paying the prize. I feel I have enough sworn affidavits to prove that 24 hour Fitness committed fraud against me by not honoring their commitment. They use whatever underhanded tricks they have to at our expense."

The final event was held in Singapore on September 29, 2000.

Update:10.01.00-Jimmy Hatzikiriakos the contestant from Canada is claiming allegations of fraud and offers to pose nude for money from the ManHunt organizers....more to come when Jimmy returns to Canada on Tuesday.
