Arizona man accused of orchestrating fiancée’s sexual assault

Zarian Dyer, 23, has been arrested in Arizona following an investigation into a staged home invasion and sexual assault targeting his fiancée, Bella Torres. Authorities allege that Dyer coordinated the attack with Adrian Ayala, 20, whom he met online.

The incident occurred on October 16 while Torres was at home with her two children. According to police, Ayala entered the residence and attacked Torres. During the encounter, Ayala allegedly told the victim that his boyfriend had sent him. Torres reported that she fought back and eventually managed to escape.

Investigators seized electronic devices from both men, which reportedly contained evidence of their communications regarding the planned assault. While Ayala’s attorney argued the incident was a roleplay scenario, police have charged Dyer with conspiracy, kidnapping, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault, and aggravated assault. Ayala was arrested in Goodyear, while Dyer was taken into custody in Buckeye.
