Gabriel Olds, a 52-year-old actor known for his roles on NCIS, Criminal Minds, and Law & Order, has been arrested on seven felony sexual assault charges, according to KCAL News. The charges against Olds include three counts of forcible rape, one count of sodomy by force, one count of raping an unconscious or asleep person, and additional charges related to assault with intent to commit a felony.
Reports suggest that Olds allegedly used his connections and status as a Yale alum to create a “false sense of security” with his victims, whom he met through dating apps. The victims have reported that Olds’ behavior became violently non-consensual. Investigators have identified three women who were assaulted by Olds, and two others who have reported lesser sexual misconduct.
Detective Brent Hopkins remarked, “We heard the same story repeatedly. Mr. Olds began as charming but then used brutal violence in these assaults. Some survivors suffered in silence for years before finding the courage to come forward. Now that he’s off the streets, we want to ensure everyone has an opportunity to be heard.”
The LAPD is actively seeking additional witnesses or victims related to Olds. His bail has been set at $3.5 million. Olds’ most recent role was in the Oscar-winning film The Eyes of Tammy Faye, where he portrayed televangelist Pat Robertson. He also appeared in episodes of FBI: International and The Rookie: Feds.
