Andrew Gallo, 40, from Bristol, now faces 36 criminal charges, including 10 for rape, drug offenses, and supplying alcohol to minors. These new charges were announced by the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office after a hearing on Monday.
The charges are related to incidents that happened between June 2018 and June 2024. Gallo allegedly used dating websites, including Sugar Daddy Meet, to meet the women. The victims, aged 18 to 35, told authorities that Gallo would invite them to his home, offer them drinks laced with drugs, and then sexually assault them while they were under the influence.
The District Attorney’s Office revealed that the six new victims were also targeted on Sugar Daddy Meet and other dating sites. The women reported feeling “out of it” almost immediately after drinking the spiked beverages. Tests later confirmed that methamphetamines or amphetamines were found in their systems.
Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn praised the victims for coming forward and thanked the media for helping to identify the additional women. She said, “Without their efforts, we might not have found these other victims.”
