A Buckeye police report details a coordinated home invasion where a man allegedly hired an intruder to sexually assault his fiancée. The incident occurred in the evening on Oct. 16, when Bella Torres told officers that an unknown man broke into her residence while she was alone with her children.
Torres fought off the intruder, identified as 20-year-old Adrian Ayala, before he fled the property. Police located and arrested Ayala the next day at his home in Goodyear. Home security footage from the scene shows Ayala telling Torres that her partner had sent him to attack her through a deal made on Reddit.
Zarian Dyer, 23, was arrested at his workplace on Thursday morning. He faces charges of aggravated assault, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault, kidnapping, and conspiracy. Prosecutors alleged that Dyer instructed Ayala to assault Torres and to use FaceTime to show the attack to him in real time.
Buckeye Police spokesperson Carissa Planalp said detectives searched the phones and devices of both men. The search uncovered communications that outlined the plan for the attack. Ayala’s attorney later repeated the Reddit arrangement claim in court proceedings.
Police continue to investigate the specific motive behind the incident. No further details on the financial terms of the arrangement or the exact duration of the attack were released in the initial report.
