Arizona mother fights man on camera as role-play claim surfaces

Bella Torres says a man entered her Buckeye, Arizona, home while she was preparing to take her children trick-or-treating, then attacked her after asking to use the bathroom; she says he also struck her young daughter. Security footage shows Torres fighting him inside and outside the home before he fled when her husband returned. Police identified the suspect as 20-year-old Adrian Ayala and arrested him the next day; he faces sexual-assault-related and burglary charges, and the case remains open. Ayala’s attorney has claimed the encounter was intended as consensual role-play arranged with Torres’s husband, an account Torres denies. The judge said such an arrangement would not be a legal defense to the alleged conduct.
