Twin Cities Man Recorded, Molested Sleeping Tinder Date: Police

RAMSEY COUNTY, MN — A Twin Cities man is accused of sexually assaulting and videotaping a naked woman he met on the online dating app Tinder. Jeffrey Mark Eldred, 32, of Shoreview, now faces a third degree criminal sexual conduct charge.

A 31-year-old woman told police she went out on a date with Eldred Nov. 3. After drinking wine, the two made out.

The woman didn't want to drive home because she was too drunk, and instead fell asleep in Eldred's bed. She woke up to the man's penis in her face, she told police.

Investigators say Eldred also tried to penetrate her more than 10 times that night despite her repeated refusals, KARE 11 reported.

In the morning, the woman found 40 videos apparently showing Eldred putting his penis in different women’s mouths and vaginas as they slept, the criminal complaint states.

According to the Pioneer Press, when police executed a search warrant at Eldred’s home, he told officers the videos — including ones showing his ex-girlfriend and his Tinder date— were recorded with consent.

Eldred’s past girlfriend reportedly told police she didn't know he had recorded her.
