A Santa Fe Springs man who is accused of assaulting a woman he met on a dating app was arrested by the Riverside Police Department, officials announced Thursday.

The department’s sexual assault/child abuse unit learned a woman had been assaulted by the man, Eduardo “Eddie” Ramon Flores, 34, in early September, police said.

Flores met the woman on a dating app, police said, and the assault occurred after the woman met Flores in person for the first time.
