Story highlights Stephen Port, 41, found his victims on dating apps, then poisoned and raped themA jury ultimately convicted Port of a total of 22 charges against 11 menLondon (CNN) Even by the grim standards of serial killings, the details of the crimes are appalling. A chef met a series of younger men on gay dating sites and lured them with the promise of romance or sex to his east London apartment, where he poisoned their drinks and then raped them as they lay unconscious and dying. He then dumped their bodies around his neighborhood, planting drugs and even suicide notes on them to make it appear as if they had overdosed, police and prosecutors said. On Wednesday a London jury found Stephen Port, 41, guilty of the murders of four young men over a 15-month span between June 2014 and September 2015. Port also was convicted of drugging or sexually assaulting seven other victims who survived.
