NCIS: Los Angeles Actor Gabriel Olds Arrested on Multiple Sexual Assault Charges
Gabriel Olds, 52, known for his recurring role as Spencer Allen on NCIS: Los Angeles, was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department this week on seven felony sexual assault charges. Olds is currently being held on a $3.5 million bond. According to police, Olds allegedly used his status as an actor and Yale University alum to lure his victims before becoming violent.
The LAPD stated that Olds met several of his victims on dating apps in recent years, with at least three women accusing him of assault and two others reporting less severe violent conduct. Authorities believe there may be more victims and are urging anyone affected to come forward.
“Each victim reported that Olds lured them into a false sense of security during their initial encounters, then turned violent without seeking their consent,” the LAPD said in a statement.
“We heard the same story again and again,” Detective Brent Hopkins added. “Mr. Olds started off charming, but then used brutal violence to carry out these rapes. Some of these survivors suffered in silence for years before finding the strength to speak up. Now that he’s off the streets, we want to make sure everyone has a chance to be heard.”
Originally from New York, Olds has appeared not only on NCIS: Los Angeles but also on NCIS, NCIS: New Orleans, Criminal Minds, and The Mentalist. He portrayed young Pat Robertson in the Oscar-winning 2021 film The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
Police continue to investigate and seek any additional victims who may have been targeted by Olds.
