Los Angeles Man Accused of Preying on Women
Los Angeles man Hawkins allegedly used social media platforms to find and connect with women, engaging in brief dating relationships with them. However, instead of forming genuine connections, the Los Angeles man would subject these unsuspecting women to horrific abuse and record their sexual encounters without their consent, Fox News reported.
The LAPD, upon Los Angeles man Hawkins’ arrest, revealed that he has a disturbing history of mistreating and exploiting women in this manner.
While the exact number of victims remains undisclosed by the police, the situation is escalating rapidly. Since the Los Angeles man’s capture, sixteen brave survivors have stepped forward to share their harrowing experiences.
The LAPD acknowledges that Los Angeles man Hawkins predominantly targeted women he met on various social media platforms, taking advantage of the anonymity and accessibility provided by these online spaces.
