Timothy Morris Collins, 53, of Arlington was booked into the Tarrant County jail Oct. 30. In addition to the sex assault charges, he faces one count of possession of 1 to 4 grams of a controlled substance.
An attorney for Collins did not respond to requests for comment.
In arrest-warrant affidavits obtained by The Dallas Morning News, an Arlington detective writes that the two accusers — both now in their early 20s — reported the allegations of sexual abuse in September.
The first accuser said he was about 15 when he met Collins through the dating app Grindr. Collins gave the teenager GHB — also known as the date-rape drug — and methamphetamine before sexually assaulting him at Collins’ home, the affidavit says.
The teenager said he returned to Collins’ home at least 50 times over the next three years and continued to have sexual encounters with him in exchange for meth. He said Collins recorded up to a dozen of their encounters when he was underage and stored the videos in a safe in his bedroom.
The second accuser told authorities he was also about 15 when he met Collins through Grindr. He said he met Collins twice for sex — once at an Arlington motel and once at Collins’ home, where he saw cameras in the bedroom.
