The Marshall County man known as the Internet Casanova has a date with justice on May 30. Authorities say 29-year-old Raymond Holycross used several aliases to woo women from the west coast to the Midwest and separate them from their money. A Mishawaka woman who met him online last fall called the police when she realized he had pawned her camera. Holycross, who told her his name was Ray Parris, claimed he worked for the Huffington Post and traveled a lot. She bought him a phone, which he used as a virtual little black book, according to court documents. He remains jailed in St. Joseph County on a theft charge, as he has yet to scrape together the $1,000 cash necessary to bond out of jail. Holycross also faces charges of stealing a handgun and some electronics from a Kokomo woman he met online. He’s also wanted on an identity theft charge out of Oregon. Authorities there say he raided the bank account of a woman he dated there.
