CENTRAL LOS ANGELES – Imagine yourself as a man responding to a woman on a dating site. You make plans for a date at her place, and she doesn’t greet you at the door.
A man invites you in, and that’s where it goes terribly wrong. Three different victims became sexually compromised by Aadrian Evelyn (32) – a resident of Los Angeles.
How did he accomplish this? “According to the victims, they responded to an online dating app, believing that they were communicating with a female who sent pictures and sexually suggestive texts that made the victims believe that they were going to go to the female’s residence and engage in a sexual encounter,” said LAPD Central Division.
Evelyn met the lured parties at the door, claiming to be the woman’s friend. “Once they arrived,” said LAPD, ” Evelyn is believed to have drugged the victims and sodomized them while they were unconscious.”
Investigating Detectives were able to determine Evelyn’s “Single female” pretense via photos and texts. Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Area Detectives arrested the suspect for three separate sexual assaults of three different males over the recent months.
Once DNA evidence and victims statements linked Evelyn to the assaults – an arrest took place on 02/08/2022, for 286(F) P.C. The suspect is in custody, and remains there on $300,000 Bail.
Detectives are now asking for what they believe to be additional victims of Sexual Assault to step forward, in hopes that Evelyn’s arrest will encourage them to report their experience.
