BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, PA – A man from Bucks County has been arrested and is currently being held in prison after he was charged with drugging and raping at least five women he met through the online dating site, sugardaddymeet.com. Andrew Gallo, 40, from Bristol Township, faces several charges including rape, strangulation, providing liquor to minors, and corruption of minors, following the allegations.
Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn detailed that over a span of a year, Gallo lured women to his home, where he would mix dangerous drugs into their drinks. This act severely impaired the victims, making them unable to consent to any activities, particularly sexual acts. Schorn also stated that Gallo was physically abusive, occasionally choking some victims until they lost consciousness.
The situation escalated to a critical point when police, executing a search warrant at Gallo’s residence, found him actively victimizing a person. They also discovered a bottle of alcohol at the scene tainted with methamphetamine. Lab results later confirmed the presence of methamphetamine and other drugs in the systems of victims, whose ages range from 17 to 30. Following the assaults, victims reported severe side effects from the drugs, including hallucinations and prolonged insomnia.
Gallo used the aliases “Drewster420” and “KAE” on sugardaddymeet.com to connect with his alleged victims. He was arrested on a Wednesday morning and arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Terrence Hughes, who set his bail at $5 million.
The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, along with the Bristol Township Police Department, suspects there may be more victims. They are urging anyone who believes they might have been victimized by Gallo to come forward. Potential victims or those with information can contact Detective Emilyann Maialetti of the Bristol Township Police Department or the Bucks County Detectives. Information and tips can also be submitted through the Bucks County Detectives website or the BucksCrimeTips email.
