Arizona man recruited stranger from internet to come and sexually assault his fiancée at their home as she cared for their children, police say

Arizona man recruited stranger from internet to come and sexually assault his fiancée at their home as she cared for their children, police say

An Arizona man allegedly plotted to have his fiancée sexually assaulted in their home by a stranger he met online.

Bella Torres was taking care of her two young children at their home in Buckeye, a Phoenix suburb, on October 16 when a stranger forced his way into the house and attempted to sexually assault her, police said. 

The mom fought off the creep, later identified by police as 20-year-old Adrian Ayala, and got him out of the house. Surveillance footage of the home's driveway captured Ayala stumbling and saying, 'I'm on drugs,' while the mom keeps him at arm's length.

Torres could then be heard asking Ayala, 'What the f*** is wrong with you?!' before slapping him in the face and continuing to keep him at a distance. 

'Your boyfriend sent me,' Ayala could be heard replying in the video. 'He told me you were into this.' 

The fiancée then said, 'Yeah right. What's his name? How the f*** do you know him?' Ayala answered: 'It was on Reddit.' 

Ayala left before officers arrived, but he was arrested the next day at his home in Goodyear, a suburb next to Buckeye.  

Torres initially did not believe Ayala's story, and her fiancé, Zarian Dyer, 23, denied any role in the attempted sexual assault, but police have since accused Dyer of planning the attack.

Detectives investigating the crime over the past two weeks seized Ayala's electronic devices and Dyer's phone. 

After looking through the devices, investigators discovered 'evidence that Ayala and Dyer were communicating about the planned assault,' the Buckeye Police Department said in a statement. 

Dyer was arrested on Thursday while he was at work and slapped with 'a long list of charges including aggravated assault, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault, kidnapping and conspiracy,' Buckeye police said. 

Investigators said there is currently no known motive for the plotted sexual assault. 

According to court documents obtained by AZFamily, Ayala choked Torres after forcing his way into her home and attempted to take off her clothes while she fought back by kicking and hitting him.

During the assault, the creep allegedly kicked Torres's 17-month-old child, causing the toddler to fall and hit their head. 

Before the attack, Dyer sent Ayala messages on Reddit saying he wanted someone to force themselves on his fiancée and asked, 'Are you down?' according to the court documents.

Dyer also told Ayala not to tell Torres about the planned sexual assault and said that even if she fought back, he should keep going, the documents show.

At the time of the attack, Dyer intentionally left his fiancée alone and went to get groceries while coordinating with Ayala, telling him to 'get here faster' and that he was 'trynna fake kill time,' according to the documents. 

Dyer also allegedly told Ayala that he had 'consent' to commit the assault because 'I own her and her body.'

During police questioning, Dyer allegedly initially told detectives that he would never want someone to hurt his fiancée and claimed that Ayala's story about being recruited for the sexual assault was 'bullc***.' 

When confronted with his messages and other evidence, however, Dyer was allegedly uncooperative and answered evasively. He also allegedly did not consent to taking a polygraph about the Reddit messages.

Dyer's bond was set at $500,000 following his arrest. 

Ayala's bond was set at $25,000 when he was arrested on October 17. He soon posted bail and was released.
