There were over a dozen credible leads to potential victims, he said.He urged more women to come forward and promised to safeguard the identities of those who did so.The investigation has now spread to several states,Rackauckas said. He believes the pair met women on dating apps like Tinder and Bumble, as well as targeted women at bars, parties, and festivals.Robicheaux is a surgeon and once appeared on Bravo's discontinued reality show "Online Dating Rituals of the American Male."Rackauckas said that the thousands of photos and videos onRobicheaux's phoneshowed women who "appear to be highly intoxicated beyond the ability to consent or resist, and they're barely responsive to the defendant's sexual advances."He said that the pair were likely to have used their"good looks and charm to lower the inhibitions of their potential prey."We tend to trust doctors who take an oath to do no harm. The second defendant being a female is key. A woman purporting to be his girlfriend clearly played a significant role in disarming the victims, making them feel comfortable and safe."The pair's arraignment is due to take place October 25.The maximum sentence for Robicheaux is 40 years in state prison and the maximum sentence for Riley is 30 years and eight months,according to the DA's office.Join the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: Why horseshoe crab blood is so expensive
