The case has drawn wide attention owing in part to Dr. Grant Robicheaux’s celebrity status. An orthopedic surgeon, he appeared on the Bravo show “Online Dating Rituals of the American Male.'
The case has been a tabloid favorite, in part because of Grant Robicheaux’s appearance on the Bravo reality show “Online Dating Rituals of the American Male.”The judge reversed himself Thursday, however, saying those three counts can stand, and that a jury should decide facts in dispute, such as whether Jane Doe ingested drugs voluntarily, as the defense contends.
Along with the charges related to Jane Doe, Robicheaux faces felony counts of illegal possession of assault weapons, as well as misdemeanor charges of possessing cocaine, Ecstasy, psilocybin and GHB. The case has drawn widespread attention owing in part to Robicheaux’s celebrity status. An orthopedic surgeon, he appeared on the Bravo reality show “Online Dating Rituals of the American Male” and was deemed Orange County’s “Most Eligible Bachelor” by a local magazine.
In 2018, then-Dist. Atty. Tony Rackauckas portrayed the couple as predators who found women in Newport Beach bars and plied them with drugs, and claimed Robicheaux kept a stash of sex videos portraying women who were too intoxicated to consent.
