OC doctor & woman charged with sexual assault believed to have visited Splash House
Authorities say Newport Beach doctor & reality star Grant Robicheaux, 38, and his girlfriend Cerissa Riley, 31, teamed up to prey on unsuspecting women.
The Orange County District Attorney‘s office charged Robicheaux and Riley with sexually assaulting two women, among multiple other charges including possession of both a controlled substance and an assault weapon.
One woman said she met the couple in a restaurant and was taken to a boat party where she says she was drugged and taken to the doctor’s apartment where she says she was assaulted. Police said that encounter was filmed and is just one recording of more than a thousand similar videos taken of different women in many cities they found on the couple’s phones.

Robicheaux and Riley are denying all allegations. If convicted of all counts Robicheaux faces a maximum 40 years in state prison. Riley faces a maximum of 30 years in state prison.
Authorities are now looking for more potential victims to come forward. On Thursday, at least 6 more victims came forward and accused Robicheaux and Riley of drugging and sexually assaulting them.
Prosecutors believe there may be many more alleged victims who may have met the couple at events like ‘Burning Man’ and the ‘Splash House Festival’ here at Palm Springs. The couple is believed to have traveled to numerous events around the west coast.
Robicheaux also appeared on the Bravo reality show “Online Dating Rituals of the American Male.”
