A UK man, Gary Stephenson, learned his identity was stolen by serial offender Ryan McVeigh, who used Stephenson’s photos and name on dating apps to defraud and sexually exploit at least 17 women.
McVeigh, released on bail in 2023 despite a prior abuse conviction, resumed his crimes due to a procedural error, leading to a 38-count guilty plea in November for fraud, rape, and other offenses.
Victims lost thousands and suffered emotional trauma, while Stephenson faced the distress of being falsely accused.
Police confirmed the fraud may have affected up to 70 women, prompting calls for justice system reforms and better online protections.
