The woman told police she was out with friends the night of July 18 and early morning hours of July 19 and had asked Joe Rohrig during a phone conversation if she could come over. She had been having a sexual relationship with Joe Rohrig since March, she told police.
The woman was driven to the Rohrig house by a friend. When she arrived, she said she saw three people in a hot tub, but a male and female left the tub and went into the house before she got close.
She then called Joe Rohrig's cell phone and said, "I'm here," the search warrant application says. The man talking on the phone walked toward her, and
the friend who dropped her off left.
The woman told police she went into the hot tub with the man she believed to be Joe Rohrig, wearing one of his Tshirts. The man in the hot tub referred to his brother as Jared in conversation, further leading the woman to believe she was with was Joe Rohrig, she told police.
She also asked the man if his sister would be angry that she was there. When the man asked why, the woman said "because of your girlfriend," saying the girlfriend's name, the search warrant affidavit says.
(What does this mean, that she knew Jospeh had a GF????)
The man said his sister didn't care and the two began kissing and then went into a bedroom in the house, the affidavit said. Once in the house they undressed, dried off and began having sex.
"During the sexual intercourse, the
female victim said they were switching positions when she realized that the male she was with did not have a tattoo on his left buttocks," investigating detectives said in the search warrant application affidavit.
"The victim realized at that point this was not the person that she had previously had sexual relations with nor was it the person she thought she was having sex with," the detectives wrote.
She began to cry and asked him where the tattoo went. She told police Joe had told her that the tatoo was once a girl's name, but he had it covered it with the cowboy tattoo when they broke up, she told police.
Once she realized he was not the person she thought he was, she attempted to leave but was thrown on the bed and physically restrained by Jared Rohrig and he forced her to have sex against her will, the woman told police.
When Jared Rohrig left the room, the woman grabbed the phone in the room and dialed her own number. The number that showed up on her caller ID was Joe Rohrig's number, she told police. (If she was raped, she might have tried calling 911.....)
The man she was with then resumed trying to convince her he was Joe Rohrig and said "Jared" was sleeping in another room. The man sleeping in the other room did not wake up when she called out the name "Jared," she told police.
(Were they all there? Including the sister?)
Jared Rohrig, still pretending to be Joe, attempted to drive her home, but didn't know the way, the alleged victim said.
The woman said Joe had been to her house several times, but Jared had never been there.
When she asked Jared when he thought she would figure it out, he allegedly replied, "I don't know. I never thought that far ahead," the search warrant says.
The woman went to Milford Hospital
the next day to be treated for a sexual assault. She revealed her name to police two days later.
(I would think the true victim of a rape would go to the police immediately and go to the hospital)
Orange Police Chief Robert Gagne said Friday he was aware of the arrest.
Jared Rohrig was placed on paid administrative leave July 23, Gagne said. Jared Rohrig turned in his badge and gun while on leave due to an ongoing internal investigation, Gagne said. He declined comment until that investigation is completed.
Jared Rohrig, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall, was a star baseball pitcher at Jonathan Law High School and went on to pitch for Southern Connecticut State University. He now pitches for a Milford team in the National Amateur Baseball Federation league. He was hired as a probationary officer in Orange July 11, 2008.
Milford police spokesman Officer Vaughan Dumas said in an e-mail message that "no more charges are pending," when asked if Joe Rohrig was under investigation.
In the search warrant, police said they were seeking to take a photograph of Jared Rohrig's bare buttocks. It was not clear Friday if that photograph was taken.
Jared Rohrig is due in court Sept. 8.
Rohrig's attorney, Thomas Lynch of the Milford law firm Lynch, Trembicki and Boynton, declined to comment. A message left at the Rohrigs' house was not returned Friday evening.
