Fiancé Sent Intruder to Assault Partner

Buckeye Police have charged a 23-year-old man with orchestrating a home invasion to sexually assault his fiancée. Zarian Dyer was arrested at his workplace on Thursday morning. He faces charges of aggravated assault, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault, kidnapping, and conspiracy.

The incident began on the evening of October 16, when Bella Torres called authorities to report an intruder. Torres stated that Adrian Ayala, 20, entered her home while she was alone with her children. She fought the attacker off, and Ayala fled the scene. Officers located him the next day at his residence in Goodyear.

Home security footage captured Ayala telling Torres that her partner had arranged the attack. He claimed the plan was made through a forum on Reddit. Ayala’s attorney repeated this claim in court during a hearing. Detectives subsequently searched the phones of both men and found messages outlining the plan. Buckeye Police spokesperson Carissa Planalp said the communications detailed Dyer’s instructions for the assault.

Prosecutors allege Dyer told Ayala to attack Torres while she was home alone. They also say Dyer wanted a FaceTime call during the event. Police have not yet determined a motive for the crime and continue to investigate the case.

Dyer is currently in custody as the case moves through the legal system. The investigation continues to examine the digital trail between the two men.
