Police were dispatched to a report of a missing person.
The missing person was S.S., DOB 07/17/92.

The defendant claimed that he had bumped into S.S. at the mall
and that they had walked around and then sat down in the food court.

He was unwilling to tell the police what he and S.S. talked about.
The defendant claimed that he returned home and did not know
where S.S. went or how she was getting home.
He denied any dating relationship with her.

When asked about the telephone call earlier, he acknowledged
that he had spoken with her for about an hour.
He had informed her that he would be at the mall but claimed
they did not have plans to meet.

The defendant was unwilling to offer information
unless asked direct specific questions. He kept repeating
that he did not know where S.S. was.
He denied knowing anything about her disability.

S.S was recently informed by her school
that she will never be able to live independently
or function on her own. S.S. told her father
she wanted to prove she is capable of being independent.

Police contacted mall security and located video footage
of the defendant and S.S. holding hands.
S.S. was found the next morning at a transit bus station in Parkland.

When S.S. was interviewed by police, she indicated
she met the defendant four weeks prior on the bus
and had given him her phone number.

S.S. related that the defendant called her
the day after they met and asked her to be his girlfriend.
When they discussed the fact that he was 20 and she was 15,
he said he didn’t care, she looked 17.

The next week they met at the Tacoma Mall Transit Center and walked to his house.
While in his room, he put his finger in her vagina. (Count I)

Then they went out in the hallway. He asked her to perform oral sex on him.
He was standing up and she was on her knees. (Count II)

She told him she did not want to do it anymore and they returned to his bed.
They both had their pants off.
He was trying to put his “dick” in her vagina. (Count III)

He was unable to do so, and he had her flip over
onto her stomach and attempted intercourse from behind her.
This attempt also failed. (Count IV)

She claimed that the last time she saw him was at the mall.
He told her he was going home for five minutes
to get money to turn on his cell phone.

She waited about two hours for him to return, eventually going to a friend’s house.
She went to sleep and then went to catch a bus. She was found
by her aunt’s boyfriend at the Parkland Transit Center.
