No sign of crime found in Utah Jazz case Alleged rape - A deputy DA doubts four players will face charges in a Portland incident Saturday, January 06, 2007 MAXINE BERNSTEIN The Multnomah County district attorney's office did not find sufficient evidence to corroborate a nude dancer's allegations in October that two of four Utah Jazz basketball players sexually assaulted her in a Portland hotel. Investigators were unable to locate any physical evidence of a crime, and the woman is no longer cooperating with police detectives or returning calls from an assigned victim's advocate, a prosecutor said. The woman could not identify who assaulted her. "Absent an admission from one of the suspects, it appears unlikely that identity will ever be established," senior deputy district attorney Don Rees wrote in a Tuesday memo. "That fact alone bars prosecution of this case because identity must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt." Portland police investigated the complaint of rape and sexual abuse after an unidentified nude dancer emerged from an elevator at the RiverPlace Hotel about 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 23, collapsed on the floor and said, "They raped me," according to the prosecutor's memo. Portland officers said the woman was screaming and crying in the hotel lobby, appeared to be extremely intoxicated and had difficulty remaining conscious. A hotel employee found her clothes in a fourth-floor hallway of the hotel where Utah Jazz players Dee Brown, Deron Williams, Ronnie Brewer and Paul Millsap, all team starters at the time, were staying, the memo states. Police said the four players acknowledged that they met the dancer at a local club and took her back to the hotel in a taxicab. But all four denied engaging in sexual contact with the woman at the hotel, the memo states. The cabdriver told investigators the woman was telling the players she wanted to have sex with two of the men at the same time during the ride to the hotel. He was told to stop at a convenience store so that one of the men could buy condoms. Surveillance images from a camera inside the cab show at least two of the players engaging in "mutual and apparently consensual sexual contact" with the woman, the memo says. Representatives of the Utah Jazz and the players could not be reached for comment. Police took the woman to OHSU Hospital for examination. She told a doctor and police that she had been assaulted by three men and sexually assaulted by two of them, saying they held her down and had intercourse with her. She said she pleaded with the men to stop. She said she didn't know what happened to her clothes or how she got to the hotel lobby. The state crime lab found no semen or spermatozoa on the forensic evidence kit collected from the woman. "Although this could be explained by the use of condoms, it nonetheless means that no extrinsic evidence is available in this case to support allegations of intercourse," the prosecutor's memo says. Police found no used condoms in the hotel rooms. The four players were interviewed separately within hours of the reported assault. Brown said he had eight alcoholic drinks at the club where he and the other players "hooked up" with the dancer. Brown said he returned to his room and played video games, the memo states. Williams said he went to Brewer's hotel room with the woman, Brewer and Millsap but later returned to his own room, according to the memo. He said the woman was upset and crying, even though no one had touched her, and told the men she had been raped three times in the past and didn't want it to happen again. Brewer said the woman stripped naked and lay on his bed uninvited. He said he decided not to have sex with the woman because she was too drunk and acting strange, the memo says. So he placed blankets and pillows on the bed to create a divider and told the woman she could sleep on the bed or the floor, the memo says. Brewer said the woman fell asleep for about 15 minutes, began crying and walked out of the room. Brewer said that "everyone in his group agreed not to have sex with the woman because of her behavior and statements about being raped in the past," the memo says. Millsap said that he left Brewer alone with the woman for about five minutes and that no one had sex with her, the memo says. The woman who made the complaint told police she used ecstasy the night before and a toxicology report found evidence of the drug in her urine, according to the prosecutor's memo.
