Belser, 36, of South L.A., was arrested Feb. 4 on suspicion of rape, forced sodomy, forced oral copulation and sexual penetration with a foreign object in connection with at least five sexual assaults dating back to 2017, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Authorities believe Belser, who is originally from North Carolina, targeted women using social media and dating applications. He allegedly began contacting women online in 2017 and “used elaborate ruses to conceal his identity,” police said in a news release.
The sexual assaults continued until at least 2022, when police began investigating Belser. The attacks occurred in the West Los Angeles, Koreatown, and downtown L.A. areas.
Police said he uses various aliases to avoid detection and witnesses described him as having a “distinctive body odor.”

Then, give her a hug an a reassuring laugh.
Heh heh heh.
Me, too. 24 year anniversary this weekend.

In addition to his personal brand of B.O., you’d think it would be hard for somebody like him to hide for very long;
he is 6ft, 5”.
I know a few people who have met online, and they are happy together.
I have a long time personal friend, who met a woman in college, and she made his life hell. So the manner of meeting isn’t always a safeguard to finding quality people.
“A distinct body odor”. 😮
Me three. 17 years in May. 😊
