Adams is currently in custody and being held on a $1,475,000 bail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 21, 2026.
Prosecutors alleged that Adams had committed the crimes against multiple victims, which could increase the severity of his punishment if he is convicted.
Adams is accused of committing the first assault on June 29 of this year, while the second incident allegedly took place on August 7 and 8.
In a statement, LA District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman claimed that the crimes were committed in ‘an area still affected by the aftermath of the January wildfires’ that engulfed major portions of Los Angeles County.
He added that the two women Adams is accused of raping came forward to police and identified him by name.
In its statement, the LAPD said it was trying to identify any additional alleged victims, and it urged anyone with information to come forward.
Police had previously released Adams’ photo on December 3 because they believed he may have committed additional crimes.
According to the Los Angeles Times, police believe that Adams met the women he’s accused of raping in LA, before luring them to a home in the tony neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, which was devastated by January’s fires.

Adams allegedly took the women to an abandoned house that had been vacated after it was damaged by smoke in the wildfires.
He had reportedly broken into the abandoned home and was pretending to live there without the owners’ knowledge.
‘He was transient when we arrested him,’ LAPD Det. Brent Hopkins told the publication. ‘The homeowners did not give him permission to be in their home.’
He added that Adams, who was believed to have spent much of his time in LA’s Westside, may have had ‘other victims out there.’
According to the LA Times, court and jail records indicate that Adams was detained by the California Department of Corrections in February of last year for a possible parole violation.
He was released following a hearing in May 2024, then was detained by authorities in Florida, who subsequently released him.
In 2021, Adams was arrested for firing a weapon and a felony count of throwing a ‘missile,’ but he pleaded guilty as part of a plea bargain in exchange for a sentence of probation in 2023.
Adams violated his probation in 2024, but it ended in July of last year, according to the Times.
Police claimed to the LA Times that Adams broke into an abandoned house in Pacific Palisades, where he was pretending to live without the owners’ knowledge when he brought the women to the house. The alleged rapes occurred in June and August; seen October 12 in LA

Adams most recently posted on his Instagram account on October 30, when he promoted his album Hell Punk, which was released on Halloween.
In a 2022 interview with Downer’s Club, the rapper described his lifestyle and inspiration.
‘I am a multi-faceted artist. I am a rockstar. I live that lifestyle and I embody that spirit every day,’ he said. ‘I’m able to do a lot, making music, videos, and art from start to finish. The cinematography, production, writing, graphics and sounds all come from me with my work.’
He added that he ‘rarely’ collaborates with other artists, though when he does it’s always ‘something special.’
‘I’m passionate about the creative process. I believe that if you use your mind, you can create anything,’ he said.
