I know that based on my training and experience that during sexual assaults it is common for bodily
fluids to be transferred from one person to another. | also know that the same bodily fluids can be
transferred onto bed sheets and blankets.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT INVESTIGATION
On 12-13-14 V-1 was at her friends house in Almaden Valley drinking before she took a cab to the
Willow Den Bar on Lincoln Ave. in San Jose Ca. with four of her friends drinking. She stated she
arrived there at 10:00 p.m. and drank 2 Belvederes and Soda. She stated that she was drinking with her
four friends’ and S-1 and his 3 friends. She started to feel dizzy and sick after her second drink and
‘wanted to go home. She stated that she called a cab, but her friends told her that they would take her
home. She got in the car and they left along with S-1, who she identified as Ray McDonald and his,
friends. She stated that her and her friends and s-1 and his friends drove separately. She stated that she
ended up at Ray McDonalds house located in Silver Creek Country Club.
She stated that they were drinking in his bar, which she described as being upstairs. She remembered
being out by the pool when she fell and hit her head on the ground. She stated she next woke up the
next morning naked in bed with S-1. She asked S-1 what happened and he told her that she was just
tired so he let her sleep in his bed.
She stated that her friend called her during the day to check on her and told her that she was making out
with $-1 on his couch, which she has no memory of. She stated that she was alone with S-1 until one of
his friends showed up by the name of Aldon Smith. She stated that the three of them went to the store
and bought some Vodka and Cranberry juice and started drinking again at his house and remained there
‘until later in the night. She stated that he started telling her about his Domestic Violence case that he
recently went through. She decided to asked him again what happened and he told her that they did
have sex. She asked him why he was lying to her and he said that he didn’t want to get accused of
something crazy like rape. She stated that she has no recollection of having sex with S-1. She stated she
did not give $-1 consent to have sex with her. she asked s-1 several times during the day what hadhappened the night before and he would tell her until the last time she asked.
She stated that one of the girls that she did not know from that night texted her. She told her that she
got her number from a friend. She asked her if she was ok and she was worried about her because she
hit her head so hard when she fell.
She stated that she only found some of her clothing the morning she woke up. She stated that she is
missing her top that she was wearing and her watch.
On 12-16-14 at 1000 hours $-1 texted V-I and told her that he found her watch. I explained to her the
concept of a pre-text text, which she agreed to do. The following is a portion of the Text conversation
between V-1 and S-1. The second portion is text conversation between s-1 and Set. Lombardo. V-1 had
stated that she was ok with us responding to S-1’s text on her behalf.
S:I found your watch”
\V: I'm glad you found my watch. Did you find my top too?”
S:“I didn’t find your top”
V: “Damn. Thanks for having me over though.”
S:"Do you want your watch?”
V: "Yes please”
S: Want to come get it tomorrow?”
V: Yeah, I’m sure we can work something out, But hey, I meant to ask you yesterday if you wore a
condom when we hooked up.”
S; “We'll talk about that when I see u tomorrow”
\V: “I need to know for sure because | nced to know if I should take the morning after pill.”
V: “You there?”
V: “I'm at the store, I need to know if I should be buying the morning after pill.”
‘The remainder of the conversation is between S-1 and Sgt Lombardo.
S: “Yes, get the morning afer pill”
V: “Ugghh :( that’s not cool”
S: "Shit just happened Kylie.”
S: “We were just enjoying the moment.”
V: “I don’t even remember anything. [ don’t know how I could’ve been enjoying anything. My friggin
head hurts!”
\V: “Wats your address? I’m gonna have my friend drive me there”
S: I won't be home for a while”
‘V: “Is there someone that can give me my stuff?”
S: “I'm going to get u your stuff Kylie....1 can drop your watch off to u on my way home from
work...Where do you want me to bring it”
\V: “I'm just really bothered by all of this. I don’t really want to see w right now”
S: I don’t understand why you're bothered, U chose to stay with me for another day”
V:“Yeah but u shudve had sex with me afier I was knocked out! I cudve died! Are you a expert on head
injuries now? The more I think about it, the madder I get. But, don’t worry, I’m not going to say shit.”
V:“ I meant that u shud not have had sex. Stupid autocorrect”
$: I didn’t do anything wrong. Like u told me before u started coming on to me”
S: “Like I
V: “How can I come on to w if was drunk and woozy from hitting my head? U know better than that”S: “Because u did Kylie”
V: “A real gentleman wud know that u don’t take advantage of a woman wen they are like that. I
thought you were a nice guy. Guess I was wrong”
S: “Ok so now it seems like you're trying to set me up. Listen u stayed with me all day yesterday so 1
don’t know what point you're trying to make by saying all this stuff”
Vs “The only point I’m making is that I didn’t think it was cool. I'm not trying to set u up. I just have
a raging headache and things didn’t go the way I wanted them to”
S$: Tfelt like we had a real connection and we actually like each other.”
V: “I don’t know. Maybe we need to start over. I just feel like everything is a blur and now I’m
tripping on maybe being pregnant.”
$:“U won't be if you take the pill...i’s up to forty eight hours... meant seventy two”
On 12-16-14 at approximately 2100 hours I served a Search Warrant signed by the honorable judge
Griffin Bonini of the Santa Clara county superior court at 2516 Bentley Ridge Drive, San Jose, CA,
95138 . S-1 was stopped prior to the execution of the search warrant leaving the residence. S-1 stated
he wanted to speak with a lawyer, but spontaneously stated that the whole incident was caught on his
internal video system and was on his DVR in his room.
On 12-16-14 at approximately 1122 hours I authored a second Search Warrant and seized the
surveillance DVR. $-1's cell phone, Which the above pre-text text was conducted on was also collected
via the Search Warrant.
I know based on my training and experience that DVR surveillance equipment continually records and
saves the data for certain periods of time. I also know that Cell Phones also save and archive
information even if the information is deleted.
All of the materials requested for seizure will assist in the investigation and provide evidence that will
tend to show that the person under investigation has committed a Felony, to wit: Penal Code Sections
261(a)(3)
I therefore believe that evidence of the commission of Felonies and items used in the commission of
Felonies, to wit: violation of California Penal Code section 261(a)(3) Rape by intoxication, will be
located where described above. Based upon the above facts, I request that a daytime search warrant be
