    LOS ANGELES — DeMario Jackson, whose behavior on the "Bachelor" franchise led to a misconduct investigation, has been accused of raping two women.

    On Tuesday, two Jane Does filed a complaint against Jackson in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging that Jackson sexually assaulted them. In the legal document, both women claim that they separately went on dates with Jackson that ended with him forcing them into nonconsensual sex.

    Both Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 subsequently reported their alleged assaults to the Rape Treatment Center at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center.

    Jackson, 35, did not immediately respond to the Los Angeles Times' request for comment.

    Both women claim that they met Jackson after his stint on two reality television programs. In May 2017, he first appeared on ABC's "The Bachelorette" as one of 31 men vying for the affection of lead Rachel Lindsay. Early on in the season, Jackson was kicked off the show by Lindsay after a woman showed up on set claiming to be his girlfriend.

    But after the show wrapped, he was cast on "Bachelor in Paradise," a spinoff in which previous contestants from "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" compete for love on the beaches of Mexico. Production began in June, but it quickly came to a halt when Warner Bros., which produces the series, announced it was suspending filming after becoming "aware of allegations of misconduct" on set that required "a thorough investigation."
