An Arizona man is accused of secretly posting nude photos of his wife on Reddit while posing as a swinger couple and soliciting other men to rape her, according to police. One of the strangers who allegedly assaulted the wife has been arrested, along with the husband.
“This was a bad judgment call,” the 38-year-old husband admitted to his wife during a phone call she received while being interviewed by police about his alleged actions, according to court documents obtained by local Fox affiliate KSAZ. The husband’s identity has not been released by police to protect his wife’s identity.
“I didn’t do anything wrong,” the husband allegedly told his wife. “I didn’t rape anybody. Nobody got hurt. From my knowledge, I did nothing wrong.”
Gilbert police say the man arranged for men he met online to sexually assault his spouse while she was unconscious. He allegedly drugged her without her knowledge and then asked individuals to come over to have sex with her while he recorded it.
One of the men who came over, Evan Torres, 41, was identified after wearing a shirt during an assault that advertised his business, Powerhouse Dent Repair, and had his personal cellphone number on it, according to police.
“I take full responsibility for acting out,” the husband told his wife over the phone, according to the court documents obtained by KSAZ. “I was frustrated and mad. I promise you, I did not know I was in the wrong.”
The wife came forward and reported her spouse to police after allegedly finding Reddit messages and videos of herself being drugged with sleeping pills and assaulted. She said she first found out about the abuse in October 2025 but was too afraid to report it at first because her husband was threatening to take their children away from her, according to the court documents.
A report was finally filed earlier this month and the husband was arrested, along with Torres, following an investigation. The husband was charged with multiple felonies, including sexual assault and kidnapping. Torres is facing a charge of sexual assault.
Police say the investigation is still ongoing as they search for others who were solicited and involved in the assaults.
