A mum who lured a man to a threesome where he was brutally tortured by her boyfriend and another lover has apologised for her part in the terrifying attack.

The victim was lured to a Manchester flat by mum Chantelle McCluney, 23, for a sex session before being attacked by her boyfriend Craig Hogan, 28, and Andrew Doyle, 24.

Manchester Crown Court heard how the victim, now 42, was tied to a chair, made to drink bleach and burned by a flamethrower.

But speaking to the Manchester Evening News , McCluney, who laid the honeytrap by inviting the man to her flat for a kinky session, said she felt ‘guilty’ about what had happened and wanted to write a letter to the victim.

She also claimed she had tried to stop the attack.

McCluney said: “I was thinking of writing him [the victim] a letter to say sorry and saying I was trying to help and telling them to stop it.”

The-mum-of-three said she was now in a different relationship and had turned her life around.

She said: “It has been better since I got with him in 2011.

“I don’t want my kids to know anything about Hogan.”

McCluney said that she now wanted to leave Manchester as soon as possible because she did not want her three young children ending up in a gang.

She said that she had hoped to return to college one day and study childcare but her part in the attack had put a stop to those plans.

“I was talking about going back to college but with everyone saying stuff about me I don’t think I can go out of the house.

“I wanted to do childcare but that’s out the window now,” she said.

McCluney said that Hogan had made her text the victim to ask him to go to her flat.

The court heard she watched and laughed as her boyfriend and Doyle abused the victim, but McCluney denied that.

She said she had tried to intervene but the door was slammed in her face.

She said: “I kept on getting told to go out the room.

“I started getting worried and thinking what have they done to him.

“I would not sleep with them while a guy was being battered in my room.”

McCluney said that she had met Hogan online when she was 15 years old.

She said: “It was an alright relationship at first but my family didn’t like him.

“I thought I was in love but it was my first relationship.”

The court heard how the relationship became abusive and McCluney said Hogan even made her sign up to swinging sites.

She added: “He kept asking me if I wanted to meet couples or single males or single females.”

McCluney admitted that she had taken part in threesomes with both the victim and Doyle.

She said: “I had a threesome with both of them at some point but I wasn’t involved in the beatings.”

McCluney, who admitted false imprisonment, was given an 18-month sentence with supervision, suspended for two years, after it was concluded she was under the influence of Hogan.

Hogan, of Brownedge Road, Oldham, was jailed for four years for false imprisonment. Doyle, 24, of no fixed address, was jailed for five years for the same offence.
