Description
The 13-year old complainant, who lived with her grandmother, was staying overnight with her mother and defendant stepfather and their two children when the alleged incident took place. She was sleeping on a mattress on the floor in the same bedroom as her siblings when she allegedly felt a hand touching her legs, buttocks, stomach and then underneath her shirt. She awoke to see defendant sleeping on the mattress nearby. After spending about five minutes in the bathroom, she returned to see that defendant had left the room. She stayed in the apartment one more night before returning home. No mention of this incident was made until more than a month later, when complainant interrupted a telephone conversation between her grandmother and mother over the complainants then recent behavioral problems. Complainant was told by her mother that unless her attitude changed she would have to return home and live with her and her siblings, a situation which was not what the complainant wanted. Complainant had more freedom living with her grandmother, her own room and a private school. It was only then that she first told her mother or anyone of the alleged incident, an account which was not believed by her mother.
