LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —The Bucks County District Attorney's Office is investigating whether a Bristol Township man accused of drugging and sexually assaulting six women used other dating websites to meet potential victims.

“At this juncture, we are still very much investigating whether or not there are other social media platforms, or quite frankly if crimes like this were unfolding elsewhere beyond the four walls of his home,” Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn said in a press conference on Wednesday in announcing the crimes.

The DA's office is asking anyone who went on a date with Gallo and suspects they were drugged to contact authorities.

"As far as additional victims, we can only say that the public has been helpful in this investigation, which is active and ongoing, District Attorney's Office Spokesman Manuel Gamiz told Patch Friday.

Schorn stated that the DA's Office did not know how long Gallo had used the dating site and that little was learned from his profile other than the user names DREWSTER420 and KAE, authorities said.

Two women were from New Jersey, three were from Philadelphia, and one was from Bethlehem in the Lehigh Valley. One victim was 17 years old while the oldest was 30, court records state.

Gallo is being held in Bucks County Prison on $5 million bail.

The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office is asking anyone who went on a date with Gallo and suspects they were drugged to contact Bristol Township Police Department Detective Emilyann Maialetti at 267-812-3024 or Bucks County Detectives at 215-348-6354.
