Orlando Gunman Used Hookup Sites to Send Dick Pics
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
By now, reports of Orlando gunman Omar Mateen's use of gay hookup apps Grindr and Jack'd as well as the website Adam4Adam are old news. It should be no surprise then that there are now reports of cyber hookup culture's requisite dick pic.
According to a TMZ report, Cord Cedeno, a Grindr user and Adam4Adam member who recognized the gunman's suit and tie selfie, Mateen attempted to connect him a couple of years ago. According to Cedeno, Mateen would only say "Hi" over and over. He eventually blocked him.
The New York Post notes that Cedeno is one of at least three gay men who claim Mateen used gay dating apps to try to connect with them.
Cedeno also claims that Mateen used hookup website Adam4Adam to send prospective sex dates photos of his penis, but didn't show his face.
But the married Mateen ends up being an equal opportunity philanderer, as TMZ spoke with a female user of the dating site Plenty of Fish. That user said he was "nice, normal ... mentioned he had a child, but said he was single and looking for a good woman to marry."
Eventually that woman ended up blocking Mateen when she felt he was "emotionally unstable."
