A man accused of torturing a woman he held captive in Oregon is using dating apps to find people who can help him avoid the police.
Foster's public defender in the Las Vegas case did not immediately respond to emails from The Associated Press seeking comment on Foster's behalf.
In 2019, before moving to Oregon, Foster held his then-girlfriend captive inside her Las Vegas apartment for two weeks. He initially was charged with five felonies, including assault and battery, and faced decades in prison upon conviction. But in August 2021, Foster reached a deal with Clark County prosecutors that allowed him to plead guilty to one felony count of battery and a misdemeanor count of battery constituting domestic violence.
Foster's girlfriend suffered seven broken ribs, two black eyes and injuries from being bound at the wrists and ankles with zip ties and duct tape during her two-week captivity, according to a Las Vegas police report.She escaped when Foster let her out of his sight during a trip together to a grocery store and gas station.
Police in Grants Pass, a town of some 40,000 in southwest Oregon, said Foster is believed to be armed and "extremely dangerous."
