Several More Victims Accuse Former Reality Star And Surgeon Grant Robicheaux Of Rape
On Wednesday, it was revealed that former Bravo star Dr. Grant William Robicheaux, 38, and his girlfriend, Cerissa Laura Riley, 31, were charged after allegedly assaulting two Southern California women while they were drunk or drugged. Now, prosecutors are investigating a total of six possible victims in the case.
According to a press release from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, Grant was charged on Sept. 11 with the following felony counts: Rape by use of drugs, oral copulation by anesthesia or controlled substance, assault with intent to commit sexual offense, possession of a controlled substance for sale, and possession of an assault weapon. Cerissa faced similar charges.
Officials claim the couple invited a 32-year old woman to a party on April 10, 2016. Once intoxicated, they took the woman back to Grant’s apartment where they allegedly gave the woman drugs before “raping and orally copulating” the victim.
Months later, on Oct. 2, 2016, the pair met a second woman at a Newport Beach bar and drank with her “until the victim was no longer conscious.” Again, they took the second alleged victim to Grant’s apartment and sexually assaulted her with the intent to commit rape, authorities said. After screaming for help, a neighbor called the police.
In January, police searched Grant’s home and found “large quantities” of illegal drugs, unregistered assault rifles, and four other firearms. Prosecutors say there could be other victims, as the pair duo would travel to festivals like Burning Man and Splash House.
If convicted, Grant could face a maximum sentence of 40 years in state prison, while Cerissa could see a max sentence of 30 years and eight months. The press release states that both are scheduled to appear for an arraignment on Oct. 25 at 8:30 a.m.
