Crazy Victim
Feb 01, 2014
OUTCOME: After a four day jury trial, client found NOT GUILTY of all charges, which included Rape, Aggravated Sodomy and False Imprisonment.
Forty-five year old client, who is in alcohol rehab at the time he meets his woman, decides to leave alcohol rehab early in order to pursue relationship with a woman who is twelve years his senior. Af...ter dating for only three months, they decide to get a house together, because neither one has a steady place to reside, and she wants a house. Two months after they begin living together, they begin to occupy separate bedrooms and he resumes his drinking. Only God knows IF the drinking caused the difficulties, or was a response to the difficulties.
In her statement to the detective and the jury, the complainant/fiancé explained that she felt compelled to leave the house every weekend in January, 2014, because when client drank he was loud, obnoxious and crazy. Although they were passing each other in the house, as each worked a different shift in January, the complainant decided the weekend of February 8, 2014, while she was coming down with a cold, to work on the relationship, a rapprochement of sorts. It began with voluntary sex at 4:00 a.m. on February 8th and continued with her drinking vodka with client on the evening of February 8th. At approximately 2:00 a.m. on February 9th, after they have finished an entire bottle of vodka, my client goes to bed in the master bedroom. The complainant testified she only had a pinch of liquor, and never saw my client drink the whole bottle, despite the fact that they were talking in the kitchen the entire time he was drinking the vodka. According to the victim, after she confronted my client about drinking all of the cold medicine, he jumped up out of bed and started punching her in the face and chest. My client then supposedly had her strip and raped her in missionary position and doggy style, all the while threatening to strangle her with the cord from a hair dryer. During the assault, the entirety of which was only fifteen minutes, he also demanded that she perform oral sex on him. Photos taken after the alleged assault, revealed absolutely no injuries other than a bite mark on her check a minute scratch on her chest. The photos from the Gwinnett Sexual Assault Center (GSAC) revealed no trauma to the vaginal area. I suspect the bite mark came during voluntary sex, because the complainant told the detective that when my client bit her and she bit him back. Her story was continually evolving and changing. I suspect that is why the jury had a hard time believing it.
