Honeytrap: Chantelle McCluney, 23 (Picture: MEN)

A mother who lured a man to her house on the promise of a threesome then watched as her boyfriend and another lover tortured him, has escaped jail.

Chantelle McCluney laid a honeytrap for the victim when she invited him round to her flat in Harpurhey, Manchester, for group sex.

But during the liaison with McCluney and her boyfriend Craig Hogan, another of her lovers – Andrew Doyle – turned up to exact revenge on the victim over an earlier disagreement.

Manchester crown court heard how McCluney laughed as the victim was subjected to ‘inhuman’ and ‘humiliating’ torture.


The man – who has not been named – was tied to a chair, kicked, punched, forced to drink bleach, burned with a flamethrower, dunked in a urine-filled mop bucket, robbed and forced to stand naked on a balcony.



At one point McCluney had sex with Doyle as the humiliated man lay on the floor and when police asked her why, she replied: ‘I felt horny.’

The traumatised victim, now 42, did not speak of his ordeal for four years. It was only when he went to counselling after a suicide attempt that it came to light.

Despite admitting false imprisonment, McCluney, 23, was spared jail after the judge concluded she had been under the control and influence of Hogan and Doyle.

The mother-of-three had been in an abusive relationship with Hogan, was in fear of Doyle and was now trying to overcome her troubled past, the court heard.

She was given an 18-month sentence with supervision, suspended for two years.

Doyle, 24, was jailed for five years for false imprisonment, and Hogan, 28, was jailed for four years.
