NCIS, Eyes of Tammy Faye Actor Gabriel Olds Charged With Multiple Sexual Assaults

As a dedicated fan who has closely followed Gabriel Olds’ career over the years, I am deeply saddened and shocked to learn about these grave allegations against him. From watching his compelling performances on shows like NCIS and SEAL Team, I always admired his talent and the roles he brought to life. However, this news taints that image in a way that no amount of acting could ever cover up.


In a shocking turn of events that’s far from Hollywood fiction, Gabriel Olds, famed for his roles in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and shows like “NCIS” and “SEAL Team,” is now facing legal charges. The alleged crimes are extremely serious, and the authorities are appealing to anyone who may have been affected or witnessed the incidents to step forward with information to aid the investigation.

According to reports, Olds has been accused of seven felony sexual assault charges in Los Angeles, which stem from an incident in January 2023 where a 41-year-old woman was raped. Subsequent investigations led to the identification of two additional victims, with some allegations dating back to 2013. The accounts provided by the women suggest that what started as consensual encounters turned into violent sexual assaults. Detectives suspect there may be more victims and are encouraging them to come forward, especially after two more women came forward to report less severe acts of violence perpetrated by Olds. Investigators believe that Olds used his work-related travel to facilitate these crimes.

Gabriel Olds Allegedly Used His Position as an Actor to Set Up His Crimes

Last month, the L.A. Superior Court issued a warrant for $3.5 million, leading to the actor’s arrest on August 7. The charges against him stem from allegations made by several women. Some of these women claim they met Olds while he was setting up dates as an actor, while others say they encountered him through dating apps. A common theme in almost every charge filed is that, according to law enforcement, “Each victim reported that Olds deceived them into feeling safe during their initial interactions, only to become violent without obtaining their consent.” Detective Brent Hopkins explains that Olds masked his brutal behavior with charm.

“The tale was repeated frequently. Initially, Mr. Olds appeared charming, but later resorted to brutal violence during his rapes. Some victims endured their pain quietly for years before mustering the courage to share their experiences. Now that he’s no longer on the streets, we aim to provide a platform for everyone to express themselves about this matter.”

Michael Olds is predominantly recognized for his TV roles, but it’s his portrayal of minister Pat Robertson in the 2021 film “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” that truly stands out. This movie brought Jessica Chastain her Academy Award for playing the lead character, Tammy Faye Bakker. Despite his extensive TV work, Olds has left a significant mark with roles on shows like “Law & Order”, “Party of Five”, “Charmed”, “Six Feet Under”, “Criminal Minds”, “SEAL Team”, all the “NCIS” series, and numerous others. Additionally, he worked as a freelance writer for Salon.com.
