2 work that process out, and then when they've given us a 2 him, or that he brought to the attention of school
3 final statement, we'll say, "Are you ready to write your 3 leadership if he was aware of it?
4 statement now?" 4 A. So, the State -- if a student has been convicted or
5 Q. And what's the purpose of having the students write a 5 found guilty of something and they're a student in our
6 written statement? Why was that important? 6 school, they will send us a notification. If he
7 A. Because it's important that it is that we know exactly 7 receives that notification, he will then provide that to
8 what it is that they said and what they believed 8 us.
9 happened. 9 Q. Okay.
10 Q. Okay. When you took notes during interviews, did you 10 A. But traditionally, we don't talk about what's happening
11 take them on your laptop? Did you write them on a pad 11 outside of school unless it's somehow connected
12 of paper? What was sort of your practice in terms of 12 specifically to school.
13 note-taking? 13 Q. What if there's a criminal investigation going on that
14 A. Sort of my practice was, I would print off the student's 14 involves multiple students at your school but it didn't
15 information from PowerSchool, and I would write on that 15 involve issues that happened at the school? Would that
16 particular sheet. 16 be something that Officer Schultz might make leadership
17 Q. Okay. 17 aware of or that you might become aware of in some other
18 A. Once I was done with that, I would record whatever the 18 manner?
19 final outcome was sort of in PowerSchool, which is where 19 A. Not traditionally, no.
20 we would record it, and then I would shred all of my 20 Q. Okay. Have you had situations other than this situation
21 information. 21 where you've had to investigate or discipline students
22 Q. What sort of information about students can you access 22 for sexual contact at school or on school grounds or at
23 through PowerSchool? 23 a school event?
24 A. Grades, discipline history, attendance. You can tell if 24 A. I'm sorry. Could you repeat that for me?
25 they're special ed. You can tell if they're ELL and 25 Q. Have you had other situations besides this situation
Page 34 Page 36
1 receiving services. 1 where you've had to investigate or discipline students

2 THE REPORTER: I'm sorry. "-- if they're --" 2 for having sexual contact with each other at school or
3 A. ELL, English Language Learners. 3 at a school event?
4 THE REPORTER: Thank you. 4 A. So, in my role, yes. You know, they're teenagers. It's
5 A. You can tell if there's been any notes from teachers. 5 all kinds of varying degrees of that particular piece.
6 You can see all of their classroom work and what they've 6 Q. Uh-huh. How common would that be investigated or
7 missed and what they haven't missed. You can drill down 7 disciplined in your role as assistant principal?
8 pretty good in terms of knowing academically what is 8 A. Not very common. Especially not at the level of what
9 happening with that student. 9 we're talking about now. Obviously, we educate
10 BY MS. SALVATORE: 10 students. We want to keep a safe and orderly
11 Q. What about disciplinary actions? Are those recorded in 11 environment. We don't allow them to have sex on school
12 PowerSchool? 12 property. I mean, obviously that's what -- we're there
13 A. They are. There's a discipline log. 13 to educate.
14 Q. Okay. And who records that? Was that your 14 So, we have pretty specific rules with regards to
15 responsibility at the time you were assistant principal? 15 that. But it can be that somebody would come in and
16 A. Administrators, secretaries would sometimes input for 16 report that two kids were kissing, for example. So, we
17 the administrators. Sometimes teachers would put 17 would sort of investigate that and see what was
18 information in, but not very often. Teachers' process 18 happening.
19 was to basically write a referral to the administrator, 19 Q. And what -- was there punishment that students would get
20 so they didn't actually get to make any decisions about 20 into for kissing?
21 discipline. That came to us. 21 A. It would depend on the situation. So, when we look at
22 Q. Okay. Were there -- with respect to Officer Schultz's 22 discipline for a student, we look at everything. We
23 role, did he sort of keep you and school leadership 23 look at -- again, it's a whole child piece. It's not
24 apprised of any criminal issue that any of the students 24 just that one individual incident. So, it's -- you
25 may be having, even if those issues didn't happen at 25 know, their grades, their attendance, their -- sort of

1 what is happening with regards to what they're doing 1 says it is, but --
2 because they are a child. They're not just this 2 Q. What's your understanding of what it is based on your
3 particular one incident. 3 training and experience?
4 And so we would look at the whole -- you know, the 4 A. Again, I would defer back to our policies because that's
5 whole piece. And there's always some, obviously, 5 where I would definitely go. And what's listed under
6 discipline. Discipline could be as minor as making a 6 our Student Code of Conduct.
7 phone call home and contacting a parent. We consider 7 Q. Okay.
8 that to be a disciplinary piece and involving parents 8 A. So, I would refer to those always before I would make
9 and solving the problem, and it can be all the way up to 9 any -- before I do anything with regards to what were
10 and including expulsion. 10 working on whatever it be. So --
11 Q. Was it your practice to have some sort of discipline for 11 Q. I just want to get your understanding, though, as a, you
12 students whenever there was some sort of sexual contact 12 know, administrator with decades of experience working
13 students were having with other students at school, or 13 with high school students.
14 were there times when that didn't merit any sort of 14 What is your general understanding of what
15 discipline? 15 constitutes sexual harassment in schools between
16 A. Again, I can't recall a level of something like this. 16 students? What kind of conduct?
17 We just -- it's so rare, we didn't have it happen. 17 A. So, basically unwelcome or unwanted, persistent or
18 The best example I can give you is that one of 18 pervasive.
19 kissing -- 19 Q. Okay. And in terms of -- and you -- I think your answer
20 Q. Are there -- 20 was -- well, let me ask it again. I don't remember the
21 A. -- that I can think of. 21 answer.
22 Q. Are there any other incidents other than this case that 22 Had you had any allegations of student-on-student
23 involved anything other than kissing between students at 23 sexual harassment that you ever had to deal with at
24 school that you had to deal with as assistant principal? 24 Cousino?
25 A. Not that I can recall. 25 A. Not that I can recall off the top of my head.
Page 38 Page 40
1 Q. Okay. In ten years, there was never an issue at a 1 Q. Okay. And in the -- in the PowerSchool system --
2 football game that involved some sort of sexual contact 2 A. Uh-huh.
3 or at a school event or on a bus? No incidents like 3 Q. -- if a student is -- I think you mentioned if it
4 that? 4 involved kissing or some sort of public display of
5 A. Not that I can recall I've investigated. 5 affection that doesn't rise to the level of sexual
6 Q. Okay. Did you have any -- so, what was the source of 6 contact, there might be a call home or, you know,
7 your knowledge in terms of -- or your training in terms 7 something -- not a suspension, but some more minor
8 of what to do or how to discipline students then if some 8 discipline.
9 sort of sexual incident between students occurred? 9 Would that be reflected in the PowerSchool system
10 A. So, we use our Student Code of Conduct to guide us. We 10 if there was something other than expulsion or
11 use our policies to guide us. 11 suspension that a student received in the way of
12 Q. Did you ever have any -- in the ten years you were 12 disciplinary action?
13 assistant principal, any allegations by students of 13 A. Yes.
14 sexual violence or sexual assault involving another 14 Q. Okay. So, even a call home, for example, about an
15 student? 15 incident --
16 A. No. 16 A. Yes.
17 Q. What about any allegations of sexual harassment 17 Q. -- would be reflected in the PowerSchool?
18 involving students that you had to deal with or that you 18 A. Uh-huh.
19 became aware of? 19 THE REPORTER: I'm sorry. Is that --
20 A. Can you clarify for me what you mean by "sexual 20 A. Yes.
21 harassment"? 21 BY MS. SALVATORE:
22 Q. Sure. 22 Q. And would it be your -- part of your practice if you
23 Do you have an understanding of what sexual 23 made such a call to the parent to then go log that into

1 Q. Okay. And do you know how far back the data in 1 Q. First or second weekend in June.
2 PowerSchool goes? How long the school has been using 2 A. Uh-huh.
3 that software? 3 Q. And classes then would be over, what, two weeks prior to
4 A. I want to say six or seven years. 4 that or one week prior?
5 Q. Okay. Have you -- during your time as assistant 5 A. Traditionally one to two weeks.
6 principal, did you ever deal with disciplinary issues 6 Q. Okay. Was the last day of classes different for seniors
7 involving students who were about to graduate? You 7 than for the other grades?
8 know, sort of about-to-graduate seniors who had some 8 A. Yes. Well, they're usually by a week or two.
9 sort of disciplinary issue in the May and June months 9 Q. A week or two.
10 just prior to graduation? 10 And why is that?
11 A. I had an occasion where we had some students who 11 A. Because the seniors actually graduate and walk across
12 misbehaved at prom. It was one year that they 12 the stage, so they're done.
13 misbehaved at prom. 13 Q. The grading needs to be done earlier? Is that the
14 Q. What do you mean by "misbehaved"? What happened? 14 reason?
15 A. They were not doing what they were supposed to be doing. 15 A. For the seniors. Correct.
16 So, they may have been imbibing in some alcoholic 16 Q. For the seniors. Okay.
17 beverages. 17 Have you had any situations where a senior about to
18 Q. Drinking? 18 graduate has committed some sort of major misconduct
19 A. Yes. 19 just prior to graduation or in the weeks leading up to
20 Q. Okay. Okay. And what sort of -- in that instance, what 20 graduation? You know, a weapon at school, some sort of
21 sort of disciplinary action did those students receive? 21 violent assault where you've had to have a more severe
22 A. So, again, we go back to the whole child and their whole 22 disciplinary action occur?
23 discipline record and every way they are before we make 23 A. Just this case.
24 any decisions. So, a decision is made on -- based on a 24 Q. It's the only time in ten years that's happened?
25 whole -- and, again, if they've been with us for four 25 A. Uh-huh.
Page 42 Page 44
1 years, we have quite a picture of that student at that 1 THE REPORTER: I'm sorry. Is that --
2 point. 2 A. Just this year -- or just this case.
3 So, I can't hypothetically tell you what it would 3 BY MS. SALVATORE:
4 have looked like. In this case, most of those students 4 Q. And what's your understanding of the district's policy
5 had really never been in trouble. They just got to prom 5 with respect to a major misconduct that occurs for a
6 and made a -- and so I believe that it is that they got 6 just-to-graduate senior in terms of what your
7 a suspension -- a two-week suspension -- a ten-day 7 disciplinary options are?
8 suspension. 8 A. Again, we would have the right to recommend any of those
9 Q. And that suspension -- when does prom occur? What time 9 discipline pieces that we would recommend for any other
10 of year? 10 student.
11 A. Usually in May sometime. 11 Q. So, no different than any other student --
12 Q. In May. 12 A. No.
13 Late May? Mid-May? Do you have a sense of when it 13 Q. -- in terms of options for discipline?
14 occurs? 14 Have you ever -- are you aware of any student in
15 A. It varies depending on when the halls are available. 15 the district who has ever not been allowed to graduate
16 Q. Okay. And when do classes end for seniors at Cousino? 16 because of a disciplinary issue?
17 When do they finish their course work before graduation? 17 And when I say "not allowed to graduate," doesn't
18 A. Again, depending on the year, because the calendar 18 receive a diploma.
19 always falls based on when the graduation date is and 19 A. Not in the time that I've been an assistant principal.
20 then they work their way backwards. It could be the end 20 Q. Okay. Are you aware of any other occasion at any other
21 of May; it could be the first week in June. 21 time where a student at the district has not been
22 Q. Okay. And the graduation, when does it typically occur? 22 allowed to graduate or a graduation diploma has been
23 I know it's -- the exact date is different every 23 delayed for some reason because of a disciplinary issue
24 year, but is it typically -- 24 that occurred prior to graduation?
25 A. It's usually the first or second weekend in June. 25 A. No.

1 And so I may have been involved in some of that 1 students involved in one incident.
2 because we were broken down by different parts of the 2 Q. Yeah.
3 alphabet for students. 3 So, you handle discipline for students just with
4 Q. Okay. 4 certain alphabetical -- certain students?
5 A. And so we worked primarily with our students. So, I 5 A. Correct.
6 can't recall if I specifically disciplined. 6 Q. What part of the alphabet did you have?
7 Q. Okay. 7 A. I had GO to O.
8 A. I know that there were instances where it is that we had 8 Q. You had what?
9 found students with that, but I don't recall actually 9 A. GO. So, I went GO to O.
10 doing the discipline. 10 A. G to O.
11 Q. Do you know what discipline other students have received 11 Q. G to O. And --
12 for those sorts of infractions, having -- and 12 A. GO to O.
13 specifically sexual materials on their phones or -- 13 Q. Okay. And then do you know how it was broken down with
14 A. And, again, we look at the whole child and make a 14 the other assistant principals who had the rest of the
15 decision. 15 alphabet?
16 So, we look at all of the past discipline. We look 16 A. Yeah. So, A to GN that year, I believe would have been
17 to see if there's sort of repeated behavior. We look to 17 Andre Buford.
18 see, you know, how egregious it is, those kind of things 18 Q. Okay.
19 before we make a decision. 19 A. And then P to Z would have been P.J. Cwayna.
20 Traditionally, there's some suspension time 20 Q. Okay.
21 involved in that. Obviously, we're trying to keep 21 THE REPORTER: I'm sorry. The name?
22 education happening in our buildings. 22 A. P.J. Cwayna, C-w-a-y-n-a.
23 Q. Okay. And there was testimony yesterday at Ellanore 23 THE REPORTER: Thank you.
24 Evans' deposition about the suspension process and the 24 BY MS. SALVATORE:
25 expulsion process. 25 Q. Do you have an understanding or do you know how many
Page 58 Page 60
1 How often did you, as assistant principal at 1 suspensions or expulsions at that school -- at the
2 Cousino, have to recommend a suspension or expulsion of 2 Cousino High School in general there were in a given
3 a student? 3 month or a given year?
4 A. And, again, it depended on -- like everything else in 4 A. We -- I don't know that.
5 the year, it goes sort of in cycles. There would be 5 Q. Okay. But that data exists --
6 some years where I would not recommend anybody. There 6 A. Correct.
7 would be other years where it might be three or four or 7 Q. -- and could be obtained?
8 five people. Sometime the incidents were the same and 8 A. (Nods head.)
9 so the recommendation was the same. And so you might 9 THE REPORTER: I'm sorry. Is that --
10 put three or four students up for the same incident. 10 A. Yes.
11 Q. Uh-huh. 11 BY MS. SALVATORE:
12 So, it sounds like a year of lots of suspensions 12 Q. And it would be in the PowerSchool system that would be
13 might be three to five? 13 available, or where would you go to look for that data?
14 I mean, I just want to get a sense of the scope of 14 A. Any discipline that we would record all goes into
15 it. 15 PowerSchool.
16 Is that fair or -- 16 Q. And so both of the students in this case fell within
17 A. You're talking about the recommendations for that? 17 your part of the alphabet; is that right?
18 Q. The recommendations for suspension or expulsion. 18 A. Correct.
19 Did you have years where there were more than ten? 19 Q. Okay. And what sort of infractions did you
20 I just want to get a sense of how many. 20 recommend suspension or expulsion for students during
21 A. If you're talking about me personally, it would not be 21 the time you were assistant principal, just in general
22 more than ten. 22 categories?
23 Q. Okay. 23 A. Well, again, it would be major infractions under the
24 A. If you're talking about the building as a whole, there 24 Student Code of Conduct.
25 could be years. Because, again, if you have four 25 Q. Okay. Which would include?

19 PowerSchool system? Is it in 109, for example? Is that 19 MR. CHAPIE: I'm sorry. I didn't hear the
20 how you code it, or do you just call it sexual 20 question.

19 had approached her. He had -- 19 there when we sort of said, "You know, I'm going to

9 Q. Okay. 9 When she described to you what happened in the car,
10 A. She said, "No, I don't want to go out." 10 did she describe it as is written in her statement?
11 He said, "Come on. You really have to come with 11 A. No.
12 me." 12 Q. No.
13 She's like, "No, I really don't want to go." 13 So, did she describe any element of resisting oral

15 okay." 15 A. No.
16 So, she said -- so, she went out to the car. She 16 Q. -- at any point?

15 Q. What happened next? 15 her. He asked her, "Are you going to do it?" And then,
16 A. So, I asked the counselor to take her to go get her 16 you know, she started to engage because he coerced her,
17 books out of her locker because I knew that she was 17 and then he put his hand on her head as she tried to
18 going to be at home, and so I wanted to make sure she 18 stop, basically. That's basically what she wrote in her
19 had access to be able to get all of her materials and 19 statement.
20 all her work while she was there, while we were 20 So, at that point I asked her just to stop for a
21 conducting the investigation. 21 second until our liaison officer could get down, so the
22 And so she went with the counselor out to go get 22 liaison could hear that as well because we were talking
23 her books. I stopped it there because we were getting 23 about a different issue at that point.
24 towards the end of the school day and all of the kids 24 And so he came down, and she sort of repeated what
25 were going to be in the hallway pretty soon, and I 25 she has in that statement.
Page 118 Page 120
1 didn't want her to be with the counselor in the hallway. 1 Q. Okay. You had already called the liaison officer down,
2 There's a lot of confidentiality stuff. I try and 2 though, because of -- simply because of the age

5 the other kids that something is going on. 5 Q. -- before you even knew there was an allegation of
6 And because these rumors were already going around 6 coercion?
7 and they had made it to my office, that means there was 7 A. Correct.
8 a lot of stuff going on. So, I was really trying to 8 And I had called Mom, and Mom was on the way. So,
9 protect her the best I could. So, I sent her with the 9 I thought Mom would maybe be about a half hour or so to
10 counselor, and then I picked up the phone and I called 10 get there. It took Mom a little bit longer to get
11 Mom and I explained what happened. 11 there, maybe an hour, hour and a half to get there. She
12 And then I called my liaison officer, and I said, 12 did come in with Dad.
13 "I have a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old. I need you to 13 So, I had Jane Doe finish her story with me and
14 come down." 14 then write it out.
15 In the meantime, then, she comes back with the 15 Q. Was the liaison officer there when she wrote it out?
16 counselor from getting her books and comes back -- 16 A. He might have been in my office, and she might have been

1 Q. Okay. Did she become tearful at some point? 1 advocate for her and to be that set of eyes and ears.
2 A. Not during the conversation that I had with her. 2 So, when she did leave with the counselor, I don't know
3 Q. At any point did she become tearful? 3 if they went back to the counselor's office or not, but
4 A. No. I mean, she -- when I told her I was going to call 4 that's one of the other reasons why I put a counselor in

8 Q. Okay. And when she described what happened with John 8 time of the day was it? Do you remember?
9 Roe in the car -- so, it sounds like you were there, the 9 A. I believe it was right -- probably right around 1:15 or

23 A. She changed her story several times throughout, though. 23 revised statement as school was releasing.
24 BY MS. SALVATORE: 24 Q. Okay.
25 Q. Okay. Had you ever -- well, I think your testimony was, 25 A. So --

2 an allegation of coerced sexual activity or sexual 2 out, did you have any other conversation with her, or

9 BY MS. SALVATORE: 9 but ultimately then Mom and Dad had arrived.
10 Q. Okay. And do you have any training on whether it's 10 Q. Okay. And what happened when Mom and Dad arrived?

13 in the initial interview? Do you know whether that's 13 explained to Mom and Dad that it is -- I had talked to
14 unusual or not unusual? 14 her about not talking to the other young man at all over
15 A. I mean, every victim responds differently. So, that 15 the weekend for her protection.
16 could definitely happen. 16 So, we talked a lot about what she needed to do,
17 Q. Okay. Did you believe her when she told you what had 17 not, you know, communicate at all, but it is -- I was
18 happened, or did you make any judgment at all at that 18 going to do an investigation based on the information
19 point about whether what she was telling you was true or 19 that she provided, and that I would be in contact with
20 not true? 20 them early next week as a follow-up.

2 she had alleged a coerced sexual encounter with John 2 John Roe's parents?
3 Roe? 3 A. I want to say by the time I was done with Jane Doe's
4 A. Again, it could have been right as the bell sort of was 4 parents it probably was 5:30 --
5 ringing. Because, again, she had left with the 5 Q. Okay.
6 counselor to get books, and she was back before, again, 6 A. -- by the time I was making contact.
7 to try and keep her protected from kids seeing anything 7 Q. And what did you tell John Roe's parents about when you
8 happening. 8 wanted to interview him or talk to him?
9 Q. Okay. 9 A. I told him that it is that -- because, again, I was
10 A. I don't know if she gave it to me as the bell was 10 talking to Dad, and so he really couldn't commit to a
11 ringing, right after the bell was ringing, but it was 11 time; that we needed to talk to Mom, and that I would be
12 clearly, you know, at the end of the school day. 12 in contact on Monday to determine when that time would
13 Q. And what was -- did you talk to Jane Doe's parents in 13 be. I told him it had to be, obviously, as soon as
14 front of Jane Doe, or did you have a separate meeting 14 possible. I told Dad the exact same thing, no
15 with them? 15 contact -- make sure they're not making any contact over

17 into the principal's office and talked with Mom and Dad. 17 Q. What was John Roe's dad's reaction to the phone call?
18 MS. SALVATORE: Can we go off the record for a 18 A. I think he was a little shocked as well, as you could

20 (Discussion held off the record.) 20 Q. Uh-huh.

25 information that I had given them because, of course, 25 A. Just that it is that she was a 15-year-old, and he was
Page 126 Page 128

2 had engaged in oral sex on the school -- and that that's 2 Q. Okay.
3 what I was doing. At that point it was a misconduct 3 A. I also told him that, obviously, the police would be,

6 Dad that I had contacted the police and Officer Schultz. 6 point?

9 our process and that we would investigate it, and that 9 I came back in on Monday, and the first thing I did
10 we would be in contact with Mom again on Monday. And we 10 was just check the camera because I wanted to make sure
11 basically sent her home with the parents. 11 that what Jane Doe was telling me was accurate, because
12 Q. Okay. 12 that would be the first place that I would start is with
13 A. At that point, then I went back to my office and got on 13 our building cameras to see, because there was really
14 the phone with John Roe's parents; couldn't get a hold 14 two parts to her allegation. The first issue was
15 of Mom. Called her twice over about a 10-minute period 15 coerced and then the second was that it is that she was
16 and then finally ended up calling Dad, and I told him 16 coerced in the vehicle as well.
17 that he obviously was suspended pending an investigation 17 And so that was the first piece of anything I could
18 immediately, and he needed to go pick him up. 18 get to because I couldn't get to the other student yet.
19 Dad indicated that he was at the track meet, so I 19 I couldn't get to anything else other than that piece.
20 told him to go pick him up from the track meet. Dad 20 And so as I reviewed the camera, what I found was
21 told me it would take about a half hour or so to get 21 that it was just a very quick -- there was no exchange
22 there from work. 22 at all. It was not like she had reported. So, she had
23 Q. Okay. Was it a home track meet or away? 23 reported that it is -- they had this whole -- engaged in
24 A. They were away, I believe. 24 this whole conversation he told her. You see on the
25 Q. Away. 25 camera literally he walks right by her and she walks

3 So, that kind of made it -- made me unsure of sort 3 statement at least in terms of what happened at the
4 of what was happening at that point. 4 locker; right? It doesn't differ from the written
5 MS. SALVATORE: Let's stop for just a second. I 5 statement?
6 just want to take a look at her statement while we're 6 A. Doesn't necessarily differ from --
7 talking about this topic. 7 Q. Okay. And the security camera that you reviewed, how
8 Can we mark this, John? 8 good of a -- I mean, how close was it to where the
9 (Deposition Exhibit 6 marked 9 locker was or describe what the footage -- quality
10 for identification.) 10 footage it was and how well you could see the
11 BY MS. SALVATORE: 11 interaction in the camera.
12 Q. Exhibit 6 is the -- do you recognize this as the 12 A. So, you can't hear audio, but you can see what happens.
13 statement Jane Doe wrote out for you -- 13 It's very clear. You can see that it is that he walks
14 A. Yeah. 14 by. He basically turns his head and then keeps walking,
15 Q. -- on the Friday that this happened? 15 and then she follows right behind him, and you can
16 A. Yep. 16 follow. And it's multiple cameras because they're
17 Q. Okay. And you had testified earlier that her written 17 positioned throughout the building. You can actually
18 statement was consistent with the last version of the 18 see him walk down the hall and turn, and you can see her
19 verbal statement she gave you? 19 do the same thing, and she follows him all the way out,
20 A. Okay. So, if -- maybe if we go line by line, some of it 20 and you can follow that out for most of their walk out
21 might not be exactly same. 21 to the vehicle.
22 Q. Okay. 22 Q. Can you see them outside the school building at all?
23 A. The first part in here where she says that she shut her 23 A. We can -- I can't remember if we saw them going out or I
24 locker and started walking with him, "Let's go to the 24 saw them coming back in. I think I saw both. I haven't
25 car and chill," that's not what she reported at all. 25 looked at that in a long time.
Page 130 Page 132
1 So, when she reported to me, she reported that it is, 1 Q. And then -- but you can't see the car, I'm assuming,
2 and we went through that a number of times. And before 2 from the security footage?
3 she wrote the statement, I read back to her what it is 3 A. Correct.
4 she had told me, including this other piece about him 4 Q. Okay. And then did you also review the footage of them
5 putting his hand on her head, and she said that was 5 entering the building --
6 correct. 6 A. Yes.
7 Q. But when she wrote the statement, when she talks about 7 Q. -- or when they entered the building?
8 the locker part, she doesn't say he coerced her at the 8 And what did that footage show?
9 locker. In the statement -- the written statement she 9 A. Basically she came in ahead of him. She walked right
10 gave, she just says: 10 past the security desk and then walked to, I believe,
11 "I was at my locker preparing for class. 11 her locker and then to class. He walked in a few
12 I saw him coming towards my locker. C.L. was 12 minutes later.
13 around him. He approached me. I had shut my 13 Q. Okay. And so you reviewed that.
14 locker. I started walking with him. He said, 14 Was there anything else in terms of security
15 'Let's go to my car and chill.' Never did I 15 footage that you reviewed or just that?
16 think anything sexual was about to happen. We 16 A. Again, it takes a little time to go through all those
17 walked to the doors to leave the building." 17 cameras, as you can imagine, and try and figure out
18 She doesn't indicate in her written statement that 18 where they actually went. And because she had changed
19 he -- that she resisted. I mean, she just says she left 19 her story so many times, I wasn't quite sure where I was
20 with him; right? 20 with regards to what I was looking for. And so I had to
21 A. She doesn't. But I will tell you that she definitely 21 be diligent as I went through those pieces.
22 said that, and when I reported that to the parents, 22 So, once I did that, I called Mom. I talked to
23 that's the part that I reported because she sort of 23 Jane's mom. And at that time Jane's mom told me that it
24 reiterated that with them, as well, that it is -- that 24 is she had talked to Jane over the --
25 that had happened while she was there in the office. 25 Q. Just use "Jane Doe."

10 Q. Did you alert anybody else in the district about what 10 A. And John Roe and his mom.
11 was happening, the superintendent or anybody else at 11 And so -- I'm sorry -- John Roe came in. He also

18 A. Aaron -- God, this is horrible. 18 about what had happened he offered this, or had you
19 Setlak. 19 given him some background as to what had happened or
20 THE REPORTER: Excuse me? 20 what the allegations were at this point?
21 A. S-e-t -- Aaron Setlak, S-e-t-l-a-k. 21 A. I had already given those to his father, so I'm sure his
22 BY MS. SALVATORE: 22 father had already filled him in. And so I just asked
23 Q. Okay. 23 him to tell me what happened.
24 A. Sorry. 24 Q. Okay. So, you told Dad on Friday the specifics of what
25 Q. Okay. Did you notify anybody else at this stage as to 25 was alleged?
Page 138 Page 140
1 what was happening or what the allegations were? 1 A. Correct.

2 A. Not at this point. 2 Q. And he had three days between when he knew what the
3 Q. Okay. And did the principal know? Had your principal 3 allegations were and when you actually interviewed John
4 been made aware at this point? 4 Roe before he responded to that?
5 A. The principal may have been aware because, again, 5 A. Yes.
6 remember we had included the police liaison officer. 6 Q. Okay. And so when you said, "He offered a statement,"
7 So, the other part of that was happening 7 he sort of -- did he have a written statement or was
8 simultaneously where I believe he was making contact 8 this a verbal statement he made during the interview?
9 with parents as well, again, separate and independent 9 A. So, this was an oral interview.
10 from what I was doing, but I believe he was also doing 10 Q. Okay.
11 that. 11 A. I just want to clarify, when you say "three days," for
12 Q. Okay. And at this point, as of the Monday following the 12 me it wasn't three days. For me, Friday was after
13 interview with Jane Doe, did you review any board policy 13 school. It was gone. So, we had Monday in which I was
14 or district policy at all at this point? 14 doing part of the investigation, and then on Tuesday I
15 A. I don't know what order I would have done it, but I 15 saw him first thing in the morning.
16 would have done it at some point during that piece. 16 Q. No, I understand. I understand you interviewed him at
17 Q. Okay. And anything else that happened Monday related to 17 the first opportunity. I'm just trying to establish he
18 this incident? 18 knew what -- the specifics of what he was going to be
19 A. Not that I can recall. 19 interviewed about for three days before he was actually
20 Q. Okay. And then tell me about what happened on Tuesday. 20 questioned about it; right?
21 A. So, on Tuesday, right at the beginning of the school 21 A. I would have informed his dad what it is she had alleged
22 day, John Roe came in with his mother to the office. I 22 without including her name.
23 wanted to -- I took them to another office to have a 23 Q. Okay. Okay. And presumably Dad told him what he was

1 Q. Why did you do that? 1 Q. Okay. And did he write a statement, then, reflecting
2 A. So, Mom left. 2 that oral statement as well at that time?
3 Q. Wait. 3 A. He did write a statement. I don't recall its contents,
4 Why did you do that? Why did you tell her that she 4 but he did write a statement.
5 might want to think about what he's writing because 5 Q. He wrote a statement on Tuesday in front of you?
6 there's a police investigation? 6 A. On Tuesday, yes. Yeah.
7 A. Not because it was a police investigation; because it is 7 Q. And you maintained that in the school file?
8 that she was alleging that there was more. 8 A. Yes. As part of the recommendation.
9 Q. Because who was alleging there was more? Jane Doe? 9 Q. As part of the -- okay. And did you find him -- his
10 A. The girl, yes. 10 version credible that he told you and wrote out that
11 Q. Okay. 11 day?
12 A. And so Mom left with him for maybe 15 minutes. I don't 12 A. So, what was different was when I questioned him, I'm
13 think she actually left the parking lot. I think she 13 like, "Well, just because you said that sort of this is
14 went out and talked to him -- 14 happening, how do we know it actually happened?" Like
15 Q. Okay. 15 you're -- you know, "You're saying that it is that she
16 A. -- and then brought him right back in -- 16 initiated it, and that she asked you for it."
17 Q. Okay. Then what happened? 17 And he's like, "It's right here on my phone," and
18 A. -- to give a revised statement. 18 he took out his phone and he started reading what they
19 Q. And what happened then? 19 were.
20 A. So, then he gave a revised statement. And so this is 20 And he read those text messages, which were very
21 when he gave an oral statement again and then eventually 21 graphic in nature. And it specifically said exactly
22 wrote a final statement as well. 22 what it is that he was saying; that basically they had
23 Q. And what was his revised oral statement? 23 agreed to meet up. She had basically initiated and
24 A. So, his revised oral statement was basically that it is 24 said, you know, "I want to give you a blow job," or
25 that Jane Doe had contacted him the night before, had -- 25 something to that effect. And he read through those
Page 146 Page 148
1 via text or Kik or whatever social media piece they were 1 text messages.
2 using and had told him she wanted to meet up with him 2 Q. Did you see them as he was reading through them, or did
3 the next day and give him a blow job. And he said, "Oh, 3 he just hold his phone and read them?
4 that's not really going to happen." 4 A. He was holding his phone. Mom was sitting right next to
5 And she said, "Well, yes, it is, and not only that, 5 him. I was probably this close to him. So, I don't
6 but I want to do some other things to you sexually as 6 know that I actually saw all of them, but, I mean, I was
7 well." 7 right there as he was reading through them.
8 And that it is that they had met up at the locker. 8 Q. But did you look at the screen, is my question, and
9 It was preplanned that they had decided that was going 9 verify that they were actually text messages that he was
10 to happen. They were going to meet up at the locker and 10 reading?
11 go out to the car. He had contacted his friend to leave 11 A. I did not look at the screen because, again, there could
12 his car unlocked -- his car door unlocked so that he 12 be pictures. There could be other evidence. There
13 could go out to the car. 13 could be other pieces out there that could be harmful to
14 And they went out to the car, and Jane Doe was in 14 all kids; right? To more kids than that.
15 the car with him. He said, she said, "Are we going to 15 So, we're trying to protect our kids when we do
16 do it?" 16 that piece.
17 And this is his version, different than hers. 17 So, I didn't actually take his phone and look at
18 She said, "Are we going to do it?" 18 it, but I could see he clearly was reading it. I mean,
19 And he said whatever his response was. "Yeah, 19 I was close enough to that. Mom was sitting right next
20 let's go." 20 to him. Clearly it was following a flow of exactly what
21 And so she, indeed, engaged in oral sex. 21 had happened.
22 When they were done. He said to her, "You should 22 So, then I said to him, "Well, can you tell me a
23 go in first." And so she did. She went in first, and 23 little bit more about this issue of the shoes?"
24 he waited a couple minutes and then came back into the 24 And he said, "Well, Jane Doe contacted me on Friday
25 building and went to class. 25 night to tell me that we were in big trouble. And she

1 proceeded to tell me a story that it is -- that she said 1 copies of the texts or to make a mirror image of the
2 that it is that I had done -- that basically it is that 2 phone or to take custody of the phone for any reason?
3 she had engaged in oral sex and that she had had to 3 A. Traditionally, we wouldn't do that. Traditionally, the
4 report it to the principal" -- because I found out -- 4 police would do that piece as they're doing their
5 "and that she basically didn't want to do that but she 5 investigation piece. Again, I had the information that
6 had to." 6 he had provided in a statement.
7 And so he sort of asked her what she said, and so 7 Q. Okay. And he mentioned -- you mentioned that he said
8 she told him. And he said, "You accused me of rape." 8 that there was -- his friend had left his truck
9 And I think that he had gotten that piece from his Dad; 9 unlocked, and he had asked his friend.
10 right? Because that's not the words I used, but that 10 Do you know who the friend was, or did you ask him
11 was the words he used that I can recall as he was 11 which friend? Who was this?
12 reading through part of that text message. 12 A. He -- I can't recall if he actually told me who it was.
13 And she's like, "No, I didn't accuse you of that." 13 I probably asked him, and I probably had it written
14 And he said, "Yes, you did." 14 down.
15 And she said, "No." And basically went on to say, 15 Q. Okay.
16 "I did it willingly. So, it can't be that." And, "No, 16 A. Actually, I do know the answer to the question.
17 we're not going to press charges," and "No, that's not 17 He did tell me. I did write it down, and I went to
18 going to happen." 18 go call that student out of class, and they were not in
19 And so there was this whole text message that had 19 the building, so I couldn't get to them.
20 happened that they had -- over the weekend where they 20 Q. Did you ever interview that student?
21 had talked. And so he went through that piece as well. 21 A. I did not.
22 Q. Did he show you those text messages as well? 22 Q. Did you make any other attempts other than that day to
23 A. Again, he was sort of reading them as he went. So, I 23 reach that student for an interview?
24 didn't physically see them, but close enough to be able 24 A. I did one other time, but he wasn't available.
25 to know that that's what was there. 25 Q. He wasn't in class?

1 And, again, very detailed and specific about the 1 A. Either he wasn't in class or he was out of the building.

3 up with this story about the shoes and agreed that they 3 one day he was on an activity which would have been

8 information than the information that I had gotten 8 it a different student?
9 originally. 9 A. Different student.
10 Q. Did you ask for copies of the text messages at any point 10 Q. Okay. What about the male who approached Jane Doe in
11 in time from him? 11 the hallway with John Roe? Did you know his name?
