The plaintiff in the lawsuit filed Thursday contends he was raped by former Democratic Party leader Will Rodriguez-Kennedy in August of last year.
SAN DIEGO - The former chair of the San Diego County Democratic Party said Friday that allegations in a newly filed lawsuit asserting he raped another man were disproven by an audio recording indicating a consensual encounter between the men on the night of the alleged attack.
The lawsuit alleges that the men and others went out to several local bars on the night of Aug. 18, 2021, and by the end of the night, the alleged victim was drunk and"coerced" by Rodriguez-Kennedy into going home with him. A police report attached with the lawsuit indicates the alleged victim spoke with San Diego police in March. The lawsuit states that he"tried to deal with the trauma on his own for several months until he sought advice from a college professor who advised that he had been raped by Kennedy and that he should report the assault to the police."
Rodriguez-Kennedy's attorneys contend the audio recording was made at about 1:30 a.m. and that metadata confirms it was recorded on that time and date.
