Paul Gonzales, 45, allegedly took financial advantage of at least 10 women he met on dating apps or websites.

The supposed “dine-and-dash” dater is accused by prosecutors of defrauding women of nearly $1,000 (£780) in total, CBS News reports.

In a separate incident, Gonzales also allegedly ran out of a hair salon without paying for services.

One of the women who accused Gonzales of leaving her with a restaurant bill told CBS: “He doesn’t have to worry about any meals now. He’s gonna get three square meals a day.”
