Police say Kenneth Howard Dolin used his "significant
connections in the entertainment industry" to "solicit victims on
modeling websites." I heard he's also hit on a number of porn chicks.
I know the woman who filed the report, and she's been doing
investigative work about Pornhub, so it wouldn't surprise me if Dolin has some
connection to those people as well. Dolin who used to be a kiddie photographer
employed his website to lure women; but that has been taken down since his
arrest.
His website said this: "Kenneth Dolin is the top
headshot photographer in Los Angeles specializing in beautiful dramatic
headshots for working actors. UFC fighter photo session. Kenneth Dolin is a
photographer in Los Angeles who shoots actors, business execs and also UFC
fighters and sports professionals. Headshots for young men.
"Believing that 'you are enough', Ken urges us all to
take off our masks when we are being photographed." Masks weren't the only
things Dolin got his subjects to take off.
Dolin, 64, a glamour photog, has been accused of sexual
assault, and police are searching for more possible victims. He was arrested
this week and is now facing a charge of penetration with a foreign object.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, a
29-year-old woman reported that she had been sexually assaulted by Dolin in
January in his studio in Hancock Park.
"The detective's follow-up investigation revealed that
two additional female victims in their mid-twenties also accused Dolin of
sexual assault in 2017," said LAPD in a statement.
LAPD said all three reports began with professional
contracts that escalated to the suspect inappropriately touching the women
during photo shoots when they were alone in his studio.
Police said Dolin used his "significant connections in
the entertainment industry" to "solicit victims on modeling
websites."
"These victims felt trapped and had to comply with his
advances," said Detective Brent Hopkins, a supervisor with the Special
Assault Section, in the LAPD statement.
"There's a huge difference between art photography and
sexual assault. We want to make sure we know everything that happened and make
sure that line does not get crossed again."
"He presented his behavior as a normal way to get
someone to relax, to feel more natural when appearing on camera," Hopkins
added.
Police said Dolin was released from custody following the
arrest "pending further investigation." The district attorney is
declining to press charges at this time as they are asking the LAPD to come up
with more evidence.
Investigators believe other victims have yet to be
identified.
