Rape Victim Writes Shocking Love Letter To Her Alleged Attacker
The deputy's lawyer says she has a 'love letter' - of sorts - sent to the deputy, written by the woman who says she was raped.
The letter says, "I can't stop thinking of how sexy you are." "Would you like to take me out sometime?" It ends, "Dying to hear from you, Gayla."
"It was what he asked me for." KOMO 4 News talked with the victim with her identity protected.
Gayla admits she wrote the letter, but says she did it because he asked her to. "Because he wouldn't leave me alone. He kept calling me... I didn't mean those things. Those were just what I thought he wanted to hear to leave me alone."
Gayla tells us she did not have consensual sex with Deputy Hogan. "I wanted him to leave me alone and leave my girlfriend alone." You heard right, her girlfriend.
"She was sitting there, No no no why is that happening?"
Lanee Slayden is Gayla's partner. She was there the night Deputy Hogan pulled Gayla over.
Lanee said, "I can understand because you get somebody with a power of authority and a badge and a gun and that frightens the hell out of people."
"Yes we were aware of the letter." Thurston County Captain Dan Kimball says he was aware of the letter when Deputy Hogan was arrested.
It didn't change the investigation. But, Deputy Hogan's attorneys will now try to use it to explain what happened.
He's in jail on a $250,000 cash bail. He has a court hearing next week. They will ask to have the charges dropped because of the letter.
"She wants him to know how she feels which is obviously, he's sexy, she's pleased with whatever occurred before and she wants more," says Silvia San Nicolas, Deputy Hogan's attorney.
