A Yes. I was
on Massachusetts Avenue, and I had no means of
transportation at the time. I was waiting for a bus or
for a cab to come by, and I decided to try hitching the
eight blocks to get down there. This gentleman over
here picked me up.
Q You say. "this gentleman over here." Could you
point him out?
A The man sitting right there.
@ on the end of the table? ~
Ae Yes.
MR. WINE: Let the record show that the witnes
has identified the defendant.
@HB WITNESS: Okay. So he picked me up, and
he asked me whether I had hitched very often. I.said,
no, I had never hitched before.
He asked me to fasten my seat belt, which I
did because he had his fastened and there was a Fasten
Seat Belt sign on the dashboard.
I told him where I wanted to get off, and he
stopped the car, and I started to get out of the car,
and he pulled a gun on me and then proceeded to handcuff
me behind my back and then drive off down Mass Avenue.igiga 8
I figured I had to try something, so I tried
rolling the window down with my foot and tried screaming
at the corner of There weré people
standing on the corner, but apparently nobody heard me;
we were in traffic, and it frightened him.
And he put his hand across my face, and I bit
him; and then he pulled a gun on me again. And I
figured, well, this is it, I'd better be quiet. I
started asking him questions, like, why do you want to
do this, I'd never --
Q Why did you want to do what?
A He had said to me: "I'm going to rape you."
And I said,"Well, why do you want to do this?"
Hesaid, "I've never done it before,"
You know, I just tried to talk him out of it,
saying things like; let's go someplace and have a cup of|
coffee and talk about it. I don't want to do this. I
haven't done anything to you, You can let me out now,
IT won't turn you in. I also said to him, "I'm not
afraid of you. I don't want you to hurt me, but I'm not}
afraid of you."
He just kept saying, “Well, you can ask me
any questions you want. You can talk as long as you wa
he Renate Gee wen ee Be SG oke ls Saale aR rn ae14194 “
I'm going to do it anyhow." He kept telling me that I
wouldn't be able to prosecute and he wouldn't get into
any trouble because henew the law, He said he wasn't
going to leave any marks on me, so 1f I did go to the
police they wouldn't, you know, be able to say that’he
had beaten me or anything
.@ Now, the car that you got into, do you recall
what that car looked like?
A. Ab first I thought 1t was a Valiant, put it
was a Dodge Dart, It was a 196%, blue -~ I identifiea
the year and I identified the color of the car and the
interior.
Q Well, after you had been traveling for some
time, what happened, if anything
4 Well, be kept driving ded key? Og ining
trying to talk him out of it, I figured I wasn't going
to let him see me get upset. I refused to cry. I
figured this is what he wanted. So I didn't cry; I
just kept talking to him, He had me blindfolded. It
was a nice day outside and I knew the leaves were
changing. I figured he was taking me into the country
and if he was taking me to a farmhouse, he must apprecia
the country, . So I started saying, "Well, it must be414194

really beautiful out here, the colors. The leaves must
be changing." He agreed with me.
I just kept trying to divert the subject, you
know, trying to make him forget about it, and finally
we got close to where the house was. He made me put
my head down on his lap so, I guess, the neighbors
didn't see. He said, "Th@elspeople that !live around us;
you're just going to have to put your head down." And
the whole time I was blindfolded.
Then he stopped the oe endyiee occims ance
the house, He allowed me to use the bathroom,
a Can you tell me when you first went to that
house were you able to observe anything?
A. Well, on the way there the corner of the
masking tape ~- he had used clear adhesive tape on my
eyes -- the corner of it came up, and I could see a
Little bit. Like, I saw part of the road. I also saw,
when he first took me into the house, I saw the concrete
-- there was a little concrete walkway, and then I
remember stepping up and we walked into the back porch
and I saw a table. And then we walked into the kitchen,
and I saw the oven, thé stove in the kitchen, which was
yellow, and I remember seeing the brick wall.

And then he took me upstairs, and I walked up
wooden steps with a handrail there, And I went ‘to the
bathroom, and I remember the bathroom was -~ the door
opened outwards instead of inwards.
He took me back downstairs into the bedroom,
and he made me undress. And then he chained me to the
bed; he handcuffed my left arm to the bed. And then he
walked away and got chains and chained my leg to the
bed after that, =
Q@ | What happened, in sequence now, please?And I said to him, “Will you take me back now?
He said, "I want to have lunch first. Would
you like lunch?”
I said, "No, thank you. I'm not very hungry."
And he gave me a glass of tea to drink because I was
feeling rather sick.
Q Is it fair to say this was not one of your
better days?
A. No, it was not.
He made lunch, and then he told me I could get
dressed and he took me out to the car. I guess one of [iy14194
his billy goats got loose. He handcuffed me and un-
handcuffed me again a number of times, and he allowed ne|
to get in the car. I believe he trusted me enough to
handeuff me in front of me instead of my hands behind
| ny back. He trusted me to put my hands in front of me,
And the cat jumped in the car; the cat jumped back out
again,
Then he made -- he started driving, and he
made me put my head down on his, lap again, and he
started to drive back towards Washington, towards
Georgetown, because I kept impressing upon him that I
would lose my job, and I had to get back. Like, you
know, I was going to lose my job, I wouldn't be able
to work'my way through school and stuff.

down Massachusetts Avenue. When I rolled down the
window, he pushed my head over and knocked my glasses
off my face. He had his hand trying to cover my mouth
and I bit him, I bit his hand, He told me that I drew
blood later, He said that I had bit him so hard that
I penetrated the skin.
