Actor Gabriel Olds, known for his roles in television series such as NCIS and Rookie: Feds, has been charged with seven felony counts of sexual assault involving at least three victims.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that Olds was arrested and taken into custody on Wednesday, August 7.
CBS News reported that he allegedly leveraged his Ivy League background from Yale University and his success in Hollywood to engage women, many of whom he encountered through dating applications.
The investigation began after a 41-year-old woman reported that Olds had raped her in her Los Angeles residence in January 2023.
Following her report, two additional women came forward with similar allegations dating back to 2013, claiming that consensual encounters escalated into violent sexual assaults. Furthermore, investigators indicated that two other women have reported instances of less severe sexual misconduct.
Special Assault Section supervisor at LAPD, Detective Brent Hopkins, said officials “heard the same story again and again” from the alleged victims, noting, “Mr. Olds started off as charming, but then used brutal violence to carry out these rapes.”
Hopkins continued, “Some of these survivors suffered in silence for years before finding the strength to speak up. Now that he’s off the streets, we want to make sure everyone has a chance to be heard.”
Olds has been acting since the late 1980s, with one of his first roles in the TV movie 14 Going On 30. His other credits include Party of Five, CSI, JAG, Law & Order, Charmed, Six Feet Under, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, Heroes, Private Practice, NCIS and its spinoffs NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans.
