At the end of October, the authorities opened an investigation after receiving reports about women who were allegedly raped by a man named Lalo Brown when they went to a Gaithersburg shop called DC Fine Line Tattoos. During their initial investigation, the police reportedly learned that the suspect reached out to at least two women on Instagram and said he could get them modeling jobs through an agency called Exeter Models. One of the women was reportedly offered a free tattoo if she agreed to model it. She was given the tattoo in August, and she signed a contract for the modeling gig.
