Ivy League Grad and "Eyes of Tammy Faye" Actor Arrested for Violent Rape of Several Women

Gabriel Olds, a veteran actor known for his roles in "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" is behind bars after the LAPD took him into custody on charges of felony sexual assault in Brentwood on Wednesday.

Olds, 52, has been preying on women he met on dating apps since at least 2013, the LAPD says as they request other potential victims from coming forward. He has been hit with 7 counts of rape, according to the LAPD. He is being held on $3.5 million bail.

The LAPD began investigating Olds in January 2023 after a woman came forward and told investigators that she was raped by the actor at her home. Since then two other women have come forward with similar stories of "consensual dating encounters that descended into violent sexual assaults," the LAPD says.

"We heard the same story again and again," said LAPD Detective Brant Hopkins. "Mr. Olds started out as charming and then used brutal violence to carry out these rapes. Some of these survivors suffered in silence for years before finding the strength to speak up."

Olds is a New York City native who graduated from Yale University, Hopkins said. has worked as an actor and screenwriter dating back to the early 1990s, according to police. He has made many one-off guest appearances in popular shows like "Criminal Minds," "Heroes," "Boardwalk Empire" and "NCIS: Los Angeles."

Because he traveled to sets across the country, the LAPD believes he could have targeted women elsewhere and urged anyone who encountered him on a dating app that ended in a rape to contact authorities.
