Far-left Philadelphia activist and journalist Josh Kruger, shot dead in his home in early October, allegedly began a sexual relationship with his suspected killer, Robert Davis, when the latter was just 15.
Kruger, 39, received substantial media coverage after his killing due to his vocal defense of the soft-on-crime policies of Soros-backed District Attorney Larry Krasner. He had previously worked for the city administration, and prominent Democrats including Krasner, Senator John Fetterman, and Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta paid tribute to him following his death.
The family of Davis, who remains on the run as of the time of publication, now say Kruger, who was HIV positive, began a homosexual relationship with the black teen when he was just 15. The suspect’s mother says he told her Kruger “wanted me to do some stuff I didn’t want to do, and if I didn’t do it, he said he was going to blackmail me.”
While these allegations are currently unconfirmed, police sources have told local media “disturbing” content has been found on Kruger’s phone, which has been turned over to the Special Victims Unit for further investigation.
In 2018, Kruger said accusations of pedophilia against gay men such as himself were a “centuries old smear” and “part of a strategy to target LGBTQ people with violence.”
The centuries old smear that gay men are pedophiles is getting new life thanks to coordination between far right news sites and far right message boards. This egregious defamation is part of a strategy to target LGBTQ people with violence.
