Man posing as male model 'duped women into blindfolded sex'

A woman claims she was duped into blindfolded sex with a 'balding and wrinkly' man after he allegedly posed as a model online to lure his victims.

The 68-year-old man was reportedly arrested in Nice, France, after a woman claimed she was fooled into having blind-folded sex with a man she thought was handsome, with brown hair and blue eyes, in a darkened room.

The alleged victim was stunned when she switched the light on to discover the truth

"He was a balding man of about 65, who was quite wrinkly and wore glasses', the Mirror quoted her as saying.

"I was absolutely disgusted."

Police received similar complaints from three other women.

The man, who went by the name of Anthony LaRoche, allegedly promised his unsuspecting victims Fifty Shades of Grey-style bedroom antics with a handsome man in emails and text messages.

He was arrested on suspicion of trying the same scam on 342 women across France, the Mirror reports.

His lawyer told Le Parisien his client did not commit rape because all of the women had consented to sex.

The accused now faces charges of 'surprise rape'. If convicted, he could be jailed for up to seven years.
