Police: Fiancé plotted attack; victim fought back
According to the New York Post, citing the Buckeye Police Department, a 23-year-old Arizona man, Zarian Dyer, is accused of arranging for a stranger to sexually assault his fiancée inside their Buckeye home while their two young children were present.
The Gateway Pundit identifies the mother as Bella Torres and says home security video captured part of the struggle in the driveway. The outlet reports the incident happened around 6 p.m. on October 16 near Southern Avenue and Miller Road.
How the confrontation unfolded
Per reports citing court records, 20-year-old Adrian Ayala of Goodyear arrived minutes after Dyer left for a grocery errand, poked his head through the front door asking to use the bathroom, then forced his way inside. Those accounts state Ayala grabbed Torres by the neck and choked her; the struggle moved to a bathroom before spilling outside, where video reportedly shows her pushing him away and shouting as he pressed his weight into her. One child was reportedly struck during the chaos. Ayala fled, and Torres chased him down the street, according to the same reports.
Arrests and charges
The Gateway Pundit reports Ayala was arrested the next day at his Goodyear home. The outlet says Ayala told authorities he met Dyer online and entered into a plan to assault the fiancée; it also notes some accounts specified Reddit, a detail not independently verified in the provided material.
Detectives seized electronic devices from both men and found communications about the planned attack, according to the reporting that cites police and court documents.
The outlet says Dyer was arrested on October 29 while at work near Roosevelt Street and Verrado Way. Per those reports, Dyer faces charges including aggravated assault, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault, kidnapping, and conspiracy. Ayala faces related counts, including kidnapping, sexual abuse, burglary, and aggravated assault.
Disputed ‘role-play’ claim; motive unclear
Police have not identified a motive, according to the New York Post’s account citing Buckeye police. The Gateway Pundit reports Ayala’s attorney characterized the incident as a “role-play scenario,” claiming Ayala believed there was consent based on what Dyer allegedly told him. Local media cited by the outlet reported that Torres said she did not know Ayala and did not believe her fiancé knew him either.
All charges are allegations; the cases remain pending.
