Meet John Travolta’s Accuser, John Doe #2

Remember last week I told you about actor John Travolta’s accuser named in court documents as John Doe No. 2? I told you his name was really John, and he lived with his wife and small children in Atlanta.

That information came to Sandrarose.com by way of a confidential source whom I will refer to as “Mr. X.”

If you need to know anything about anybody who is somebody in Atlanta, Mr. X is your go-to source. That’s why TMZ has his number on speed dial.

Anyway, the NY Daily News revealed the identity of John Doe No. 2 on Saturday. His name is John Truesdale, he is 40 and he works as a masseur at the upscale Mandarin Oriental spa.

The 250-pound certified black belt tells the Daily News that 58-year-old Travolta “sexually accosted him in a hotel suite on the 15th floor in January. At that time the swanky hotel was called the Mansion on Peachtree.”

In an exclusive video that was posted to YouTube by Mr. X (the video has since been made private), Truesdale’s former co-worker, explains how an anxious Truesdale came running downstairs following his 15-minute encounter with Travolta.

“I can’t do this!” he quoted a flabbergasted Truesdale as saying at the time.

From the full body tattoos to his spiked hair, Birdman, as he’s known to his many fans, makes an interesting first impression when he walks into a room. But one thing people probably don’t view him as is a child sex predator.
