Andrew Gallo, a resident of Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, was recently arrested and charged with multiple counts of rape, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, strangulation, and corruption of minors. He allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted several women, including a teenager, whom he met through a dating site called sugardaddymeet.com. Gallo used the usernames DREWSTER4200 and KAE to connect with his victims on the site, promising them great drinks at his house. He reportedly slipped controlled substances, including methamphetamine, into the women’s drinks, leading to them feeling a lack of control during sexual encounters.
The victims, whose ages ranged from 17 to 30, reported feeling strange after consuming the drinks and experiencing side effects such as staying up for days, hallucinations, and psychosis. Authorities executed a warrant at Gallo’s residence in August and found a tequila bottle containing methamphetamine. Despite this disturbing evidence, the victims in the case showed incredible courage by coming forward to report the crimes. District Attorney Jennifer Schorn commended them for their strength and courage during a news conference, acknowledging that predators like Gallo count on victims not having the strength to speak out.
Gallo is currently being held in the Bucks County Correctional Facility awaiting trial. The charges against him, which include selling or furnishing liquor to minors in addition to the other offenses, paint a disturbing picture of his alleged predatory behavior. With the victims’ testimonies and the physical evidence found at his residence, the case against Gallo appears to be strong. The website where he met his victims, sugardaddymeet.com, describes itself as a platform for generous men and attractive women looking to form honest relationships, but it is clear that Gallo used it as a means to exploit and harm vulnerable individuals.
The case of Andrew Gallo highlights the dangers of online dating and the importance of staying vigilant when meeting new people, especially in private settings. Authorities urge anyone who may have had contact with Gallo or who may have been victimized by him to come forward and report any information that could help the investigation. As the legal process moves forward, it is crucial for the justice system to hold Gallo accountable for his actions and ensure that he faces appropriate consequences for the harm he allegedly inflicted on his victims.
