Could there be a magnetic version of hawking radiation?

From my, probably flawed, understanding of Hawking Radiation, virtual particles get turned into non-virtual particles. I'd imagine since both Gravity and Electromagnetism both follow the inverse square law, they'd have some similar properties.

So, could a powerful enough magnetic force, i.e a Magnetar, produce similar effects to Hawking Radiation. It'd obviously not be photons, but charged particles.
