(CNN) -- A California man is accused of raping a woman he met on a Christian dating website -- and police fear there may be other victims.

Sean Banks, 37, met the victim on the matchmaking website Christianmingle.com, where he went by the user name "Raritiy," La Mesa Police said in a statement.

ChristianMingle touts a safety section that includes a warning to avoid contact with members who cannot take "no" for an answer.

Banks was arrested February 11 and has been booked on two rape charges in the incident as well as one count of residential burglary, police said.

1. Cue the GOP for opinion on whether this was a 'legitimate rape' or not. nt

3. I could be wrong but

I would think many people would be on Christian Mingle thinking they were surrounded by "Christians" and they let their guard down. I met my girlfriend and love of my life on Plenty of Fish.com and I can tell you for every 1 normal girl I would say there were 2 to 3 crazy ones who I would never turn my back on. My point is that you have to be on your guard and until you get to know someone in real life, don't trust anyone on the internet.

4. My daughter met her boyfriend on a dating website.

He is great. We have had him here for family events. He is normal!

It was her first try at online matchmaking. I guess it is the luck of the draw, sometimes.

It is wonderful that you have found the love of your life.
