Reality-TV Surgeon and Girlfriend Drugged, Raped Women: Prosecutors

Investigators have reportedly uncovered more than 1,000 videos of other potential victims.

Prosecutors say a Newport Beach, California, surgeon and former reality-TV star teamed up with his girlfriend to drug and sexually assault at least two women—and there may be many more victims. Grant William Robicheaux, 38, and Cerissa Laura Riley, 31, face one count each of rape by use of drugs, oral copulation by controlled substance, and assault with intent to commit a sexual offense. Prosecutors say the pair preyed on women in bars and used a date-rape drug on at least one of their alleged victims. Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas announced the charges Tuesday, saying investigators uncovered more than 1,000 videos on Robicheaux’s phone showing alleged assaults of intoxicated women. Robicheaux and Riley are free on $100,000 bond and will be arraigned on Oct. 24. Robicheaux, an orthopedic surgeon, appeared on the Bravo reality-TV series Online Dating Rituals of the American Male in 2014.
