Episode Details

A Palm Beach County detective is hunting for more victims after a 27-year-old man, Stephen Hakim, was arrested for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman he met on Hinge. DNA and toxicology evidence tied him to the attack, and the victim said he drove her to his apartment instead of their planned bar — and sped dangerously. Hakim, who denies the charges and claims the encounter was consensual, was released on bond and remains in custody. Authorities are urging anyone who met Hakim online — especially after 2023 — to come forward. This case serves as a stark warning: even trusted dating apps can be weaponized by predators. Stay alert, verify in-person meetups, and report anything suspicious — your safety and others’ depend on it.
