Man poses as woman on dating app to lure men he sexually assaulted, California cops say

Authorities are seeking other potential victims of a man accused of posing as a woman on a dating app to lure men to his home before sexually assaulting them, California police said.

Aadrian Evelyn, 32, of Los Angeles, faces sodomy charges in assaults on at least three men in recent months, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a news release.

Evelyn posed as a woman on a dating app in each incident, sending the men photos and sexually suggestive texts, police said.

When each man arrived at his apartment, expecting to have sex with the woman from the dating app, Evelyn told them he was her friend, police said.

Police said he then drugged and sodomized the men while they were unconscious. They ask that anyone else who believes they may have been a victim come forward.

Evelyn remains jailed on $300,000 bail, police said.
