Authorities in California said Friday they have received dozens of new leads from possible new victims of a US surgeon and his girlfriend who have been charged with drugging and sexually assaulting two women.
Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said more than 12 of those leads were credible -- and that investigators are looking at crimes that may have occurred years ago.
The surgeon, 38-year-old Grant Robicheaux, and his 31-year-old girlfriend, Cerissa Riley, allegedly targeted their victims at bars and restaurants -- but may also have used dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble.
"We're expanding our inquiries to several states and as well as other parts of California," Rackauckas said.
"Ladies, please be careful when you meet people on these kinds of apps. You don't know what's behind... what appears to be a perfect smile."
