Plaintiff was raised in Southern California in a family of modest means. After completing high school, she qualified for the police academy but, instead, chose to pursue a career in nursing to become a licensed vocational nurse. 2, Inlate 2016, Plaintiff was introduced to Oscar De La Hoya. Thereafter, Plaintiff and De La Hoya met on several additional occasions and became friends. Plaintiff'and De La Hoya began to confide in one another about personal matters. Eventually, De La Hoya asked her out. 3. On their first night alone, De La Hoya revealed that he had unique sexual proclivities and fetishes that included, but were not limited to, watching transgender pornography and receiving anal gratification with the use of various objects. While Plaintiff had no moral objections to his preferences, Plaintiff made clear that she did not share his sexual proclivities. Plaintiff and De La Hoya agreed that as long as her wishes were respected, the two of them could engage in a sexual relationship. 4. Thereafter, Plaintiff and De La Hoya had a consensual sexual relationship that was formed with the explicit understanding that De La Hoya would abide by Plaintiff's wishes. Nonetheless, on several occasions, De La Hoya would request that Plaintiff wear strap-ons, anally gratify De La Hoya with various objects, and/or watch transgender pornography together. However, when Plaintiff would deny those requests, De La Hoya would respect those wishes or simply pleasure himself. Believing that De La Hoya would continue to abide by her wishes and never exceed her consent, Plaintiff continued her relationship with De La Hoya. 5. On or about November 12, 2017, De La Hoya invited Plaintiff to visit his newly purchased home in Pasadena, California. Upon arriving, Plaintiff was met by De La Hoya who led her in and gave her a tour of his new home. With De La Hoya's consent, Plaintiff began recording various rooms in the house. Upon entering the kitchen, Plaintiff saw and recorded various bottles of alcohol and a bag of what appeared to be cocaine. Plaintiff and De La Hoya shared a few drinks and the two engaged in normal conversation. -2- ‘COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGESSH USAR bed KIRAKOSIAN LAW, APC RIC ENGINE CO, LESS SeocewraAuneun 6. Eventually, De La Hoya became increasingly intoxicated and began repeatedly asking Plaintiff to "keep up" and take shots with De La Hoya. Plaintiff refused and drank at her normal pace as De La Hoya continued to get increasingly and exceedingly intoxicated. 7. Eventually, De La Hoya led Plaintiff into his bedroom where she believed they ‘would engage in consensual sex. However, after some time, it appeared De La Hoya was unable or unwilling to perform. De La Hoya began asking Plaintiff if she was interested in "experimenting." De La Hoya discussed various things, including strap-ons, transgender porn, anal sex, and videotaping or photographing sexual encounters. Plaintiff attempted to brush off the conversation until De La Hoya began watching transgender porn and asking Plaintiff if she was interested in wearing a strap-on and photographing. Plaintiff politely rebuffed De La Hoya’s requests and asked that he turn off the transgender porn. 8. Frustrated with Plaintiff, De La Hoya asked if Plaintiff would accompany him to the shower and anally pleasure De La Hoya. Plaintiff refused. De La Hoya entered his shower and began pleasuring himself with the use of a hairbrush handle while Plaintiff continued to photograph at De La Hoya’s request. Eventually, De La Hoya exited the shower and again tried to convince and coax Plaintiff to use a strap-on or other objects. Plaintiff continued to refuse his requests. 9. De La Hoya grew angry and frustrated at Plaintiff for refusing his requests and ultimately held her down with one arm while forcefully trying to insert his fist into Plaintiff's vagina. Plaintiff repeatedly said no and demanded that De La Hoya stop. However, De La Hoya overpowered her and suddenly and forcefully pushed his hand and fist into Plaintiff's vagina. Plaintiff screamed in pain and eventually squirmed her pelvis away from De La Hoya. Shocked, scared, and in extreme pain, Plaintiff screamed at De La Hoya for his conduct. Despite her visible distress, pain, and anger, De La Hoya laughed and responded by repeatedly urging Plaintiff to take a shot of alcohol and to try wearing a strap-on or to use various objects on De La Hoya. Plaintiff refused and De La Hoya angrily left the room. Plaintiff collected herself and left De La Hoya’s residence in extreme shock and pain. -3- COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES7 ae ee Ann Sat!
