A man in the Cofts Hill area of Clarendon reportedly committed suicide after discovering that he was intimate with a transgender woman, according to allegations on TikTok. It is said that the man, identified online as Martin Scales, was under the influence at the time of the incident. Scales, according to users, is a former biology and science teacher at Lennon High School and May Pen High School.
An individual, said to be his cousin, noted that he had more recently been working as a mason. According to social media reports, Scales allegedly ingested poison after learning that he had unknowingly engaged in a sexual act with a transgender woman, identified only as Shuggy.
His cousin claims the encounter took place while Scales was under the influence of alcohol last Friday. She said she also heard that his drink had been spiked by acquaintances at an event he attended. During a detailed recount in a viral video, she claimed Scales was led to believe that a woman was offering money in exchange for sex.
The alleged encounter reportedly occurred on the roadside, where Scales was reportedly led by an acquaintance to meet Shuggy. Shuggy, who was born a man and some say he once attended NCU, was dressed as a woman. Scales, unaware of Shuggy’s identity, reportedly participated in mutual oral sex.
The cousin stated that during the act, a bystander recognised Shuggy and alerted Scales. Disturbed by the revelation, he allegedly fled the scene. Scales is said to have confided in someone, expressing that he could not live with what had happened. The next day, he reportedly consumed Gramoxone, a toxic chemical, and later died in the hospital.
The relative also mentioned that an autopsy is pending, which may confirm whether his drink was indeed tampered with. The relative expressed a strong desire for vengeance against anyone involved in the incident. She said her cousin has never been a troublesome person, adding that he had a comedic personality.
