Los Angeles’ actor arrested amid allegations of ‘violent sexual assault’


Hollywood actor Gabriel Olds allegedly raped at least three women who he met on dating applications as police fear there are more of his victims across the US.

Olds, best known for his roles in “NCIS: Los Angeles” and “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” was taken into custody Monday and charged with seven felony sexual assault charges, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Police launched an investigation into the New York native after a 41-year-old woman came forward claiming that Olds had forced himself onto her inside her Los Angeles home.

She filed the report to police on Jan. 19, 2023 while other claims against the actor were made between 2013 and 2023.

Olds, who lives in Los Angeles, Calif., was accused of sexual assault by two other women, and two others reported less violent acts.

Olds was charged on July 19 after the Los Angeles Superior Court issued a warrant for his arrest.

The 52-year-old allegedly used his status as a Yale University alumni and success in the entertainment industry to secure dates with women on dating apps, cops said.

Olds graduated from the private university in 1995.

In May, the actor shared a post on Instagram of himself on the university’s campus with the caption, “Just another day studying at Yale…”

“His victims reported that he used his status as an Ivy League alumnus with success in the film industry to meet women and arrange dates,” the LAPD said.

“Each victim reported that Olds lured them into a false sense of security during their initial encounters, then turned violent without seeking their consent.”

A Special Assault Section supervisor at LAPD, Detective Brent Hopkins, said officials “heard the same story again and again” from the alleged victims.

“Mr. Olds started off as charming, but then used brutal violence to carry out these rapes,” Hopkins said.

“Some of these survivors suffered in silence for years before finding the strength to speak up. Now that he’s off the streets, we want to make sure everyone has a chance to be heard.”

The Post has reached out to reps for Olds and the LAPD for comment.
