Riverside Police: Eddie Flores, Arrested In Rape Of Woman He Met Through Apps, May Have More Victims
RIVERSIDE (CBSLA) — Authorities say a Santa Fe Springs man facing charges of raping a woman he met on via Skout and Snapchat may have committed similar crimes before in Riverside and Los Angeles counties.
Eduardo "Eddie" Ramon Flores, 34, was arrested Oct. 29 on suspicion of rape. Police say a woman reported the sexual assault in September after meeting Flores for the first time in person.
Before the in-person date, the woman told detectives she connected with Flores through the Shout app.
Flores was released the same day as his arrest after posting $55,000 bail. He is scheduled to make his next court appearance on Dec. 28.
Detectives believe there may be other women Flores met through other dating apps -- including Skout and Snapchat -- in Riverside and Los Angeles counties who were also sexually assaulted, but have not yet come forward. Anyone with information about Flores can contact Detective Melissa Brazil at (951) 353-7950 or MBrazil@RiversideCA.gov.
