Arizona Mother Stands by Fiancé Accused of Arranging Her Sexual Assault by a Stranger in Shocking Online Plot

An Arizona mother has publicly defended her fiancé after police accused him of arranging for a stranger to break into their home and sexually assault her while their two young children were present.

Bella Torres appeared in court in Buckeye, Arizona, on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, to support 23-year-old Zarian Dyer, who is facing multiple felony charges over the alleged plot.

The case began on October 16, when Torres was at home with her two young children. Her fiancé had reportedly left to pick up groceries when a stranger approached the property.

The man, identified as 20-year-old Adrian Ayala, initially asked to use the bathroom. But according to Torres’ account to investigators, he suddenly forced his way inside, grabbed her by the neck and began attacking her.

The struggle moved into the bathroom, where Ayala allegedly attempted to remove her clothing and groped her. Torres fought back and managed to get the confrontation outside, where home surveillance cameras captured her struggling with the attacker in the driveway.

During the confrontation, Ayala allegedly told her that her boyfriend had sent him and claimed she would be willing to participate.

Torres managed to fight him off. Ayala fled when Dyer returned home, and Dyer was seen chasing the man away.

At first, the incident appeared to be a terrifying random home invasion. But investigators later uncovered information that dramatically changed the direction of the case.

Police allege fiancé arranged the attack online

After Ayala was arrested, he allegedly told investigators that he had met Dyer online and agreed to sexually assault Torres at Dyer’s request.

Detectives seized electronic devices belonging to both men. According to Buckeye police, investigators found communications that allegedly showed the two had discussed and planned the attack.

Court documents reportedly detail messages exchanged through Reddit. Prosecutors allege that Dyer gave Ayala instructions about when to arrive and how to carry out the plan, including telling him to flee if things went wrong.

Investigators also alleged that Dyer wanted Ayala to contact him through FaceTime during the assault.

Police have not established a motive for the alleged arrangement.

Bella Torres defends her fiancé in court

Despite the allegations, Torres appeared in court to stand by Dyer, saying she believed he was being set up by the man who attacked her.

She reportedly became emotional while discussing the allegations against her fiancé and questioned Ayala’s account of what happened.

Her public support has added another complicated dimension to a case that has already shocked the local community.

Ayala’s attorney previously argued that his client believed the encounter was part of a consensual role-play arrangement. However, investigators say evidence recovered from the men’s electronic devices supports their allegation that the attack was planned without Torres’ consent.

Both men face serious criminal charges

Dyer was arrested at his workplace on October 29. He faces charges including aggravated assault, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault, kidnapping and conspiracy.

Ayala faces charges including kidnapping, sexual abuse, burglary and aggravated assault. His trial has reportedly been scheduled for April 2027.

Both men remain accused, and the charges have not been proven in court.

For Torres, the incident involved not only a frightening confrontation with a stranger inside her home but also allegations that someone close to her may have helped arrange it. The investigation continues as prosecutors prepare to pursue the case.
