Moreno asked her what she remembers. She said she remembered getting up the stairs and the next thing she knows, the police officer was having sex with her.
Officer Marino repeatedly denies saying, "Ma'am, do you want me to admit to something that didn't happen?"
It's only after she threatens to walk into the precinct and tell her story to the desk officer that Officer Moreno apologizes, admitted that he started out helping her and that things got a little crazy.
