A Buckeye man has been arrested after police say he arranged for another man to sexually assault his fiancée.

Zarian Dyer, 23, was arrested on eight charges on a Thursday morning after police alleged he used Reddit to arrange an attack on his fiancée. Police say Dyer sent Adrian Ayala, 20, to sexually assault his fiancée, Bella Torres, while she was at home with her two children.

On the evening of 16 October, Ayala entered Torres's home near Southern Avenue and Miller Road. He choked Torres while she was inside. Court documents state he kicked her 17-month-old child, causing the toddler to fall and hit her head on a baby gate. As Ayala choked her, Torres attempted to hit, punch, kick and choke him in return. Ayala reportedly tried to remove the victim's clothes, but Torres escaped from the home. She ran outside and fought off Ayala, with a neighbour hearing her screaming and chasing after him. The neighbour and Torres returned to the home and called police. Ayala fled but was arrested at his home in Goodyear on 17 October.

In home security video, Ayala told Torres that her partner sent him through a Reddit agreement to sexually assault her. Court documents quote Ayala telling Torres, 'your boyfriend told me you'd be into this.' Dyer's charges include aggravated assault, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault, kidnapping and conspiracy. Police said they do not know the motive behind the alleged plot.
