Arizona man arrested for allegedly recruiting stranger to assault fiancée

Zarian Dyer, 23, was arrested in Buckeye, Arizona, following allegations that he recruited a stranger to sexually assault his fiancée, Bella Torres, inside their home.

According to court documents and police reports, the incident occurred on October 16 while Torres was home with her two young children, including a two-month-old infant. Investigators allege that Dyer communicated with 20-year-old Adrian Ayala via Reddit to coordinate the attack. Messages reportedly showed Dyer instructing Ayala to carry out the assault and suggesting that Ayala flee the scene if the plan went awry.

Police reports state that Ayala entered the residence after asking to use the bathroom. During the encounter, Ayala allegedly choked Torres, kicked her daughter, and attempted to sexually assault her. Torres managed to fight off the attacker, moving the struggle into the driveway where CCTV footage captured the altercation. Ayala was apprehended a day after the attack, and Dyer was arrested on October 29.
