Season 1

A chilling investigation unfolds as we dissect the case of Jayson Tatlock, a former school resource officer who betrayed his position of trust in the most devastating way. What started as seemingly innocent interactions with a 17-year-old student spiraled into a calculated pattern of grooming that culminated in sexual assault during a private fishing trip.

The evidence paints a disturbing portrait of predatory behavior. Tatlock meticulously established himself as a trusted figure—bringing Starbucks coffee, offering snacks, and creating an environment where the victim felt special as his "number one favorite student." Behind this facade of mentorship, he was strategically pushing boundaries, escalating from flirtatious comments to increasingly sexual conversations while maintaining plausible deniability through always-open office doors and school-sanctioned interactions.

Most disturbing is Tatlock's own admission that he had been "eyeing" the victim since her first day of school when she was just 16, even searching through school databases to find her information after overhearing her name. The June 4th fishing trip to Cataract Lake wasn't a spontaneous outing but the culmination of months of boundary-testing, featuring alcohol, isolation, and assault that left the victim "petrified" and "frozen."

The psychological aftermath for the young victim is heartbreaking—sleeplessness, loss of appetite, flashbacks, and the painful process of self-blame that so often accompanies abuse by authority figures. Her words "I haven't been the same person since what he did to me" reveal the profound impact of betrayal by someone tasked with protecting students.

This case forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about how we screen and monitor those placed in positions of power over vulnerable young people, and how institutions respond when trust is violated. Join us as we continue this investigation in part two, where we'll examine what happened after the assault and Tatlock's response to these serious allegations.

00:00:50.442 --> 00:00:51.164
Tonight at 6,.

00:00:51.164 --> 00:00:58.070
A former school resource officer at Bloomington North High School is now accused of sexual misconduct involving a high school student.

00:00:58.070 --> 00:01:01.799
Jason Tatlock faces several charges that include child seduction.

00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:05.581
Court documents reveal the investigation started last June.

00:01:05.581 --> 00:01:14.706
That's when the victim's sister told Indiana DNI officers about Tatlock taking her sister on a fishing trip and allegedly kissing and touching her.

00:01:15.709 --> 00:01:17.893
Welcome back to 69 South everybody.

00:01:17.893 --> 00:01:19.102
I hope you're having a good day.

00:01:19.102 --> 00:01:24.191
I'm Chop, your host for the show today, and with me always is my beautiful co-host, Julie.

00:01:24.191 --> 00:01:25.093
How are you doing today?

00:01:25.459 --> 00:01:26.641
I'm amazing.

00:01:26.641 --> 00:01:30.489
Today we got a wild story for everybody.

00:01:30.489 --> 00:01:36.686
This has to do with a former police officer from the Monroe and Owen County areas.

00:01:37.367 --> 00:01:48.254
He also worked for the prosecutor's office in Monroe County, I think and then ultimately ending up being a resource police officer for Bloomington North High School.

00:01:48.254 --> 00:01:53.090
But it turns out that this time he's got the charges on him.

00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:54.325
What are them charges, babe?

00:01:54.819 --> 00:02:06.368
He has an F6 child seduction under a child care worker engages in fondling or touching with a child 16 to 17 years old.

00:02:06.368 --> 00:02:28.141
He also has a misdemeanor for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor B battery charge and a misdemeanor B furnishing alcohol to a minor, which I guess it's the basic offense for furnishing substance like that to minors.

00:02:28.804 --> 00:02:40.304
And for you guys out there that don't know this because I didn't realize it either until we started looking into this case is that in Indiana, child seduction is a criminal offense defined under an Indiana code.

00:02:40.304 --> 00:02:52.972
It involves an adult who is at least 18 years old and in a position of trust, authority or supervision over a child under 18, engaging in sexual activity with the child.

00:02:52.972 --> 00:03:08.747
The law is designed to protect minors from exploitation by individuals who hold influential roles, such as teachers, coaches, guardians or other authority figures, even if the child is above the age of consent, which is 16 in Indiana.

00:03:08.747 --> 00:03:15.067
Now, the key elements of a child seduction in Indiana is one the age and relationship.

00:03:15.067 --> 00:03:19.038
The offender must be 18 years of age or older.

00:03:19.038 --> 00:03:21.002
The victim must be under 18.

00:03:21.704 --> 00:04:03.430
The person or the offender must have a professional relationship or position of authority with trust over the child, such as a guardian, adoptive parent, grandparent, custodian or step-parent, child worker, teachers, school employees, people that work for the school corporations, including a charter school or special education cooperative, a coach, teaching or volunteer coaches, youth sports organizations like mental health professionals, military recruiters basically anybody that is like in a mentor position to help anybody that's a minor understand things.

00:04:03.430 --> 00:04:07.618
I mean basically a position of trust, wow.

00:04:07.618 --> 00:04:15.348
And I wonder why the track coach and Brittany Fortenberry wasn't exactly charged with this.

00:04:15.348 --> 00:04:18.093
Maybe because their charges was a lot freaking worse.

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.307
Harrison Goss was charged with child seduction.

00:04:20.387 --> 00:04:21.110
Oh, I didn't know that.

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.567
Yeah, he was charged with five counts of child seduction.

00:04:25.567 --> 00:04:28.033
Wow, it's crazy.

00:04:28.033 --> 00:04:40.115
I know we read these all the time, but when you start reading them all the time, it gets hard to remember which charges go with which cases.

00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.949
Yeah, it's hard to keep up with all these diddlers out here.

00:04:44.841 --> 00:04:45.142
Go ahead.

00:04:45.142 --> 00:04:45.586
I'm sorry.

00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:48.141
The penalties for child seduction as a level six.

00:04:48.141 --> 00:04:59.206
Felony for fondling or touching with a child aged 16 to 17 is punishable by six months to two and a half years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.

00:05:00.187 --> 00:05:14.896
So this officer, jason Tatlock, or former officer, is looking at two and a half years and then, whatever the misdemeanor charges carry, he'll probably cop a plea deal.

00:05:16.156 --> 00:05:17.877
Now there is some considerations.

00:05:17.877 --> 00:05:24.425
In the defenses of something like this, they have what they call a Romeo and Juliet exception.

00:05:24.425 --> 00:05:33.192
The Indiana's Romeo and Juliet law may apply to consensual relationships where the offender is under 21, not more than four years older than the minor.

00:05:33.192 --> 00:05:35.208
But that doesn't really apply here, does it?

00:05:35.641 --> 00:05:40.833
No, because he was 45 and she was 17.

00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:45.971
They actually started talking when she was about 16 years old.

00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:49.550
Yeah, but it wasn't nothing inappropriate.

00:05:49.550 --> 00:06:02.456
It was like a professional type relationship, until I think that the end of her junior year in high school is where it started to go left.

00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.002
Well, I think there was a little bit.

00:06:04.002 --> 00:06:09.170
A lot of flirting, this and that going on, but let's get into the probable cause affidavit and pick through this.

00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:09.940
Okay.

00:06:09.940 --> 00:06:27.970
So on June 18th 2024, now this is last summer an Indiana conservation officer detective sergeant was tasked as the lead investigator for this alleged sexual misconduct with the juvenile female.

00:06:27.970 --> 00:06:42.156
Now, this all started when the victim's family member called Owen County Dispatch to report what had happened on June 4th 2024.

00:06:42.156 --> 00:06:48.762
On June 4, 2024.

00:06:48.762 --> 00:06:51.709
She stated that Jason Tatlock told the juvenile they were going on a fishing trip with him and his family at Cataract Falls.

00:06:51.709 --> 00:06:58.607
On June 4, at roughly 7.55 am, jason picked up the juvenile to go to Cataract for a fishing trip.

00:06:58.607 --> 00:07:02.213
The drive to the falls took roughly 50 minutes.

00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:07.942
When they got to Cataract falls, jason and the juvenile began to go down the creek.

00:07:07.942 --> 00:07:14.735
After they got into the water and that's when jason took the juvenile to a cove.

00:07:14.735 --> 00:07:20.007
He then started to kiss her after he started to take off her top.

00:07:20.007 --> 00:07:20.848
So he tried to take off her top.

00:07:20.848 --> 00:07:22.329
So he tried to take off her top.

00:07:22.329 --> 00:07:37.348
He also mentioned that he dropped the juvenile off at Bloomington high school North at roughly six or 7 PM that evening when he was in the car with her.

00:07:37.348 --> 00:07:39.166
He confessed his attraction for her.

00:07:39.166 --> 00:07:44.331
He said he looked her up on the first day of school, august 2nd of 2023.

00:07:45.244 --> 00:07:49.526
Now let's look into how this whole relationship and deal kind of started.

00:07:49.526 --> 00:08:01.245
So they ended up taking the victim to Susie's place, which, if you don't know what that is yet, it's a really nice cool place where they take juveniles and minors to get interviewed for situations like this.

00:08:01.245 --> 00:08:06.052
These are her responses from the forensic interviewer.

00:08:06.052 --> 00:08:14.064
Now we're not going to go through here and say victim and tatlock on every single sentence that we're going to read from the probable cause affidavit.

00:08:14.064 --> 00:08:18.841
So in this area right here, we're just going to refer to her and him.

00:08:19.783 --> 00:08:30.735
So she started by saying that she spent a lot of time in his school office at Bloomington North High School getting to know him.

00:08:30.735 --> 00:08:39.394
She advised that she had kind of a crush on him and described that both she and him would flirt with each other.

00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:44.782
Kind of little schoolgirl crush on the police officer type shit yeah A little schoolgirl crushed on the police officer type shit, yeah.

00:08:44.802 --> 00:08:54.446
So then she said that Tatlock would talk about his wife and children and described his wife as being, quote unquote, crazy.

00:08:55.006 --> 00:08:56.988
Ain't everybody's wife kind of crazy though.

00:08:57.268 --> 00:08:58.488
That's what all men think.

00:08:58.648 --> 00:08:58.788
Oh.

00:08:59.649 --> 00:09:07.532
She added that, in addition to flirting, she would engage in sharing inappropriate jokes with him.

00:09:08.253 --> 00:09:15.015
She indicated that she suggested to him that he should bring into his office some snacks that she wanted.

00:09:15.015 --> 00:09:21.357
She also referenced him providing her with Starbucks beverage that he kept in his office for her.

00:09:21.357 --> 00:09:32.506
She went on to describe him bringing her favorite Starbucks coffee drinks to the school.

00:09:32.506 --> 00:09:36.660
She said that, looking back on this practice, she now felt that he may have been luring her to his office and that's exactly what he was doing Kind of, really kind of grooming her.

00:09:36.660 --> 00:09:37.020
I mean.

00:09:37.020 --> 00:09:45.157
You know, I mean it's hard to kind of like not love bomb, but like Flirt bomb Right.

00:09:45.291 --> 00:09:46.470
And it's kind of hard to distinguish.

00:09:46.470 --> 00:09:55.196
I mean, in the beginning maybe he had the best of intentions on just being nice, but as you go through this you can kind of see.

00:09:55.196 --> 00:09:56.961
I think he had it in his head the whole time.

00:09:58.529 --> 00:09:58.890
Now.

00:09:58.890 --> 00:10:12.434
She also stated that on Sundays she was scheduled back-to-back study halls and mentioned that sometimes she would go down to his office every day, and sometimes for up to 90 minutes at a time.

00:10:12.434 --> 00:10:21.902
She described that he would, or they would, look at each other in a flirty way and added that they both shared an attraction for each other.

00:10:21.902 --> 00:10:37.823
She stated that the door to his office was always left open and was never closed while she was in there and she quoted and that's why I never thought, yeah, that he would actually assault me.

00:10:38.831 --> 00:10:47.684
She also said like when time went on, the jokes that they exchanged, they become more sexual and more weird in nature.

00:10:47.684 --> 00:10:49.491
They become more sexual and more weird in nature.

00:10:49.491 --> 00:10:56.581
She said that he began to bring food to his office for her, especially remembering bringing McDonald's McChicken sandwiches.

00:10:56.581 --> 00:11:00.525
She added that he would basically bring her anything she asked for.

00:11:07.629 --> 00:11:14.258
So the victim recalled thinking that he brought her lunch, Starbucks and her favorite snacks, so she thought he was the coolest dude ever, and she even mentioned that he was cute.

00:11:14.258 --> 00:11:15.961
Now get this.

00:11:15.961 --> 00:11:23.203
In May of 2024, they began communicating with each other through email.

00:11:23.203 --> 00:11:30.383
She described sending him a picture of her taken when she was about eight years old and she was on a fishing trip.

00:11:30.383 --> 00:11:31.975
Now get this.

00:11:31.975 --> 00:11:39.083
This picture is displayed in his office or was before he got fired.

00:11:39.850 --> 00:11:46.157
So he had a picture of this girl, of her fishing at eight years old, like he had it printed out.

00:11:46.839 --> 00:11:48.576
Yeah, she emailed it to him.

00:11:48.629 --> 00:12:28.261
He printed it out, put it in a frame and or I don't know if it was in a frame but then hung it up or placed it in his office somewhere where he could look at it all day that's kind of fucked up now she said the key joke between her between them was that she was his number one favorite student and that this expression made her feel like a million dollars, and that there was also another school resource officer would sometimes be present in the office when she was there and she stated that she would play cool while he was present.

00:12:30.671 --> 00:12:42.138
And while discussing the photo of her younger self fishing that was displayed in his office, she added that they would joke around sometimes and even talked about and suggested to each other that they should go fishing together sometime.

00:12:42.138 --> 00:12:49.403
She described that, other than face-to-face interactions, they would only communicate via email.

00:12:49.403 --> 00:12:52.359
No social media or texting was used.

00:12:52.359 --> 00:12:59.844
She said that she never asked him for his phone number and she felt that employees and students exchanging phone numbers was prohibited.

00:12:59.844 --> 00:13:06.903
She later added that they would exchange emails during school hours, outside of school hours and on weekends.

00:13:06.903 --> 00:13:08.947
During school hours, outside of school hours and on weekends.

00:13:08.947 --> 00:13:14.222
She describes some of the emails exchanged between them would likely appear as inappropriate to detectives reviewing them.

00:13:14.222 --> 00:13:17.018
I bet you it is prohibited, but I mean.

00:13:17.057 --> 00:13:18.936
I'm sure it absolutely should be prohibited.

00:13:19.129 --> 00:13:27.470
Absolutely, and it should be prohibited for them to be communicating, I think, any way possible, shape or form, outside of school.

00:13:27.669 --> 00:13:36.022
Yeah, if a teacher needs to communicate with a student outside of school, they can contact their parents.

00:13:37.783 --> 00:13:38.905
I agree 100%.

00:13:38.905 --> 00:13:48.024
She did say that Tatlock would jokingly look her up on Instagram and Facebook profiles on his cell phone while she was in his office.

00:13:48.024 --> 00:13:52.654
I bet he was looking that shit up way more than when she was sitting there, you know it.

00:13:52.654 --> 00:14:04.216
She kind of expressed that, the feelings that she had and what she was doing, that maybe somehow what ended up happening was her fault, which she's completely wrong about that.

00:14:04.730 --> 00:14:06.614
No, it's not her fault.

00:14:06.614 --> 00:14:23.653
He, in his position that he had, should have had enough integrity that's the word you're looking for for sure to you know, do the right thing and redirect.

00:14:23.653 --> 00:14:35.519
You know her, when jokes get off center, he was initiating bad behavior absolutely.

00:14:37.162 --> 00:14:43.798
The victim felt that she was the one who had the idea to begin email communication between her and tatlock.

00:14:43.798 --> 00:14:49.171
Right then he should have said look, I don't feel comfortable communicating with you outside of school.

00:14:49.171 --> 00:14:56.940
You can stop by the office and say hi with the door open and all that shit, but that's where here's where it starts to get out of fucking boundaries.

00:14:56.940 --> 00:15:07.176
In my opinion, she had recalled that there had been an email exchange on a weekend and she didn't respond to him because she was out doing regular teenage stuff.

00:15:07.176 --> 00:15:18.861
When she got back to school that Monday, while visiting him, he said something indicating that he was worried, thinking perhaps the victim's sister may have taken her phone and read the emails.

00:15:19.791 --> 00:15:24.221
So he was already paranoid because he knew what he was doing was wrong.

00:15:24.909 --> 00:15:26.215
And that points it out right there.

00:15:26.215 --> 00:15:26.957
He fucking knew.

00:15:26.957 --> 00:15:37.625
She added that Tatlock seemed stressed and stated he said something about being nervous that his boss would come in his office and fire him over the exchange of emails with the victim.

00:15:37.625 --> 00:15:45.250
So he literally sat and thought about what would be happening if somebody did find the emails that they were exchanging.

00:15:45.250 --> 00:15:46.734
Oh, I'm going to fucking get fired.

00:15:46.734 --> 00:15:46.934
Get fired.

00:15:46.934 --> 00:15:47.556
This is gonna happen.

00:15:47.556 --> 00:15:47.755
This.

00:15:47.755 --> 00:16:05.216
He should have shut that shit down right then, when he was fucking getting scared, but he couldn't now.

00:16:05.235 --> 00:16:24.304
She stated that she knew exchanging these emails, but she reassured him that she was in regular practice of deleting their emails after they were exchanged, in which she described that this appeared to provide relief to his concern.

00:16:24.304 --> 00:16:34.735
She also added that he never asked her to send nude photos and that he never sent any inappropriate nude photos to her.

00:16:35.537 --> 00:16:43.066
She recalled one day when Tatlock was telling her that he recognized a male student had been staring at her chest while visiting his office.

00:16:43.066 --> 00:16:46.832
She described feeling really weird after this exchange.

00:16:47.192 --> 00:16:48.153
I bet she did.

00:16:48.234 --> 00:16:59.846
I bet, when prompted to discuss this further, the victim stated that Tatlock said that he wanted to tell the male student to stop looking at her chest, but mentioned that he decided that he shouldn't say that.

00:16:59.846 --> 00:17:11.721
She then described him that he would do a handstand.

00:17:11.721 --> 00:17:14.265
Her body would appear as a frowny face.

00:17:14.265 --> 00:17:19.382
She said she felt that this was one of his boob jokes directed at her.

00:17:20.871 --> 00:17:30.980
She stated that they discussed masturbation while together in person, and then she stated that she didn't want to discuss that issue any further.

00:17:31.321 --> 00:17:34.257
Now, whoa, this is where it takes another turn.

00:17:34.257 --> 00:17:43.759
I mean, this is a high school kid, she's in the freaking cops the freaking school cops office and they're talking about jacking off together.

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.557
That's a whole different fucking level.

00:17:45.650 --> 00:17:46.073
Well, not together.

00:17:46.073 --> 00:17:47.240
I mean, they're speaking about it with each other.

00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:48.086
That's a whole different fucking level.

00:17:48.105 --> 00:17:50.877
Well, not together, I think I mean they're speaking about it with each other.

00:17:51.371 --> 00:17:55.601
They're speaking about the subject, not doing it to each other.

00:17:55.601 --> 00:17:59.809
I know, but still there's no conversations that need to be had like that, absolutely.

00:18:00.151 --> 00:18:02.239
If he was dipping his toe in the water with.

00:18:02.410 --> 00:18:03.434
To see how hot it was.

00:18:03.490 --> 00:18:06.137
Yeah, and then all of a sudden, you're talking about masturbation.

00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:06.901
Damn.

00:18:09.650 --> 00:18:11.811
He jumped off the fucking waterfall with that shit.

00:18:12.874 --> 00:18:19.340
In May of 2024, at the end of the school year, she went to TJ Maxx and bought him a gift.

00:18:19.340 --> 00:18:24.145
She described it as a sign with a pointing finger that said number one dad.

00:18:24.145 --> 00:18:30.734
She also recalled buying him a candle and described it as smelling like his cologne.

00:18:30.734 --> 00:18:35.057
She said it was black and it said man, cave on it.

00:18:35.057 --> 00:18:44.173
On the last day of school he had purchased and gave her a $50 gift card for Starbucks.

00:18:44.173 --> 00:18:51.922
She recalled him telling her that he gifted this to her because she was number one.

00:18:52.589 --> 00:18:58.053
I mean that right there tells me that at the beginning here this girl didn't have any bad intentions.

00:18:58.053 --> 00:18:58.755
You know what I mean?

00:18:58.755 --> 00:19:08.178
She was looking up to this dude and she gave him a freaking thing with a pointy finger that says number one, dad, I mean I want to add something in here.

00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:31.742
And this young victim, you know she has gone through a lot in her life and she doesn't have her parents, so she's living with another family member, so she really looked up to to him and thought a lot of him, you know.

00:19:32.084 --> 00:19:35.980
Absolutely and trusted him and looked up to him and thought a lot about him.

00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:47.125
And that's where that charge come in, because when children look at you like that, it's easier for you to try to get in spaces you ain't fucking supposed to be in.

00:19:47.329 --> 00:19:50.529
Yeah, she thought he was cute, but she's a young girl.

00:19:50.529 --> 00:20:06.570
You know, a young teenage girl can think somebody is cute, but they don't have necessarily feelings of wanting to do something with them or anything like that.

00:20:06.570 --> 00:20:08.873
She recalled suggesting going fishing at Monroe Lake, wanting to do something with them or anything like that.

00:20:08.913 --> 00:20:14.017
She recalled suggesting going fishing at Monroe Lake and he did not want to go there.

00:20:14.017 --> 00:20:19.541
She said that he suggested going fishing at another lake that was three hours away from Bloomington.

00:20:19.541 --> 00:20:31.496
She said that she told Tatlock she was open for going fishing at the other lake and he recalled that Tatlock asked the victim if her sister would be allowed to go.

00:20:31.496 --> 00:20:39.121
She said that Tatlock ended up suggesting fishing in a lake in Owen County which is Cataract, and this is where they ultimately went fishing together.

00:20:39.121 --> 00:20:47.075
You know he didn't want to take her fishing at the Monroe Lake because everybody would have fucking recognized him over there.

00:20:47.075 --> 00:20:47.496
You know, I know.

00:20:47.496 --> 00:21:01.200
I mean, hey, her friends were probably out there from the school and everybody knew him as a resource officer over there and he was like fuck that we're gonna go a little bit farther away where nobody, you know knows this or there's gonna be any evidence of some shit.

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:06.416
If anything happens, he was pre-empting that strike from the gate he was.

00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:15.698
She said that he continued to email her after school was out of session for the summer and up until the boat fishing trip.

00:21:15.698 --> 00:21:21.458
She stated that on the boat trip she was assaulted and was scared to death.

00:21:21.458 --> 00:21:33.653
Now, just prior to the boat trip, she recalled sending him photos from her Florida vacation trip that she had taken while she was down on vacation.

00:21:33.653 --> 00:21:44.277
Now he responded to the receipt of these emailed photos by saying that florida looked good on her and that the photos were beautiful.

00:21:44.277 --> 00:21:46.840
She said this made her feel validation.

00:21:46.840 --> 00:21:57.017
She went on to describe visiting him at his school office even after school was out of session for the summer.

00:21:57.017 --> 00:22:02.292
She added that it was just them in the school building at this time.

00:22:02.292 --> 00:22:11.852
She stated that one of these summer days that she went to go visit, they went to wendy's for lunch together in the school vehicle.

00:22:11.852 --> 00:22:21.799
She remembered that he also gave her and a male student a ride on the last day of school and that he also stopped at mcdonald's on this drive.

00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:29.844
She believed that they dropped the male student off at his house and then he dropped her back off at the student parking lot.

00:22:29.844 --> 00:22:36.701
She recalled that this happened on May 21st 2024 between 3 and 4 45 pm.

00:22:36.701 --> 00:22:42.337
She suggested that there may be surveillance footage from the school of this event.

00:22:42.337 --> 00:22:48.276
She then described the parking lots as they are situated at Bloomington High School North.

00:22:50.098 --> 00:22:52.782
She discussed the trip to Wendy's in further detail.

00:22:52.782 --> 00:23:02.567
She said that during the trip she spilled some of her chocolate frosty on her vaginal area of her pants.

00:23:02.567 --> 00:23:14.925
She said that he brought this incident up while they were on the boat together on June 4th, suggesting that it must have attracted him or fascinated him.

00:23:14.925 --> 00:23:26.164
She recalled aloud of thinking how desperate he must have been and questioned herself why did he have to discuss it in an inappropriate manner?

00:23:26.164 --> 00:23:28.288
To discuss it in an inappropriate manner?

00:23:28.288 --> 00:23:35.921
She stated that she wanted to start talking about the incident that occurred on the boat, but she wanted to take a quick break for a minute and gather herself.

00:23:36.451 --> 00:23:37.978
She's probably about to start sweating.

00:23:37.978 --> 00:23:39.797
She's about to get into real shit.

00:23:39.797 --> 00:23:44.616
Yeah, I mean, the dude's probably like oh, I bet that Frosty tastes good.

00:23:44.616 --> 00:23:45.278
You know what I mean?

00:23:45.278 --> 00:23:48.640
Probably some fucking weird bullshit, and it made her feel weird there.

00:23:49.430 --> 00:24:08.226
It's a weird situation when you're younger, like that, and you have an older male that you've had, let's say, a playful banter with, and then they start crossing the fucking line.

00:24:08.226 --> 00:24:13.501
Right, it's a real weird situation, so I can only imagine how she felt.

00:24:14.150 --> 00:24:21.280
She had stated that during the planning of this trip she suggested to Tatlock that he should bring some alcohol on the boat for her.

00:24:21.280 --> 00:24:25.381
She recalled Tatlock saying that he preferred to drink rum and Diet Coke.

00:24:25.381 --> 00:24:34.894
She remembered thinking to herself that, damn man, he could have declined by saying, no, that's illegal, no, we can't be drinking, you're underage.

00:24:34.894 --> 00:24:41.419
But she added that he did end up providing her with alcohol on that day, june 4th 2024.

00:24:41.419 --> 00:24:46.070
She described that her and Tatlock arranged to meet that morning at 8 am.

00:24:46.070 --> 00:24:56.486
She recalled arriving at the school parking lot at 7.55 and that he was already there in the parking lot with his truck and trailer boat attached waiting for her.

00:24:56.486 --> 00:25:00.079
She got there five minutes early and this motherfucker was already sitting there.

00:25:00.589 --> 00:25:02.176
Oh, he was there at 7.30.

00:25:02.269 --> 00:25:03.255
I guarantee he was.

00:25:03.255 --> 00:25:13.528
She said that she had told her sister that she was going on a fishing trip this day with Tatlock and his whole family going on a fishing trip this day with Tatlock and his whole family.

00:25:13.528 --> 00:25:18.863
She did say that she did not tell her sister that it was only only going to be him and her going on the fishing trip.

00:25:19.631 --> 00:25:24.762
She was being sneaky, but that's what teenage teenagers do.

00:25:25.230 --> 00:25:25.852
Absolutely.

00:25:25.852 --> 00:25:29.474
I mean, she probably thought in her head I'm hoping this is what she thought.

00:25:29.474 --> 00:25:32.413
Hey, look, man, they're going to think it's fucking weird.

00:25:32.413 --> 00:25:37.476
It just me and this officer is going fishing, so I'm just going to say his family's going along, no fucking harm in it.

00:25:37.476 --> 00:25:38.137
You know what I mean.

00:25:38.137 --> 00:25:41.816
But she also did suggest that he should bring some alcohol.

00:25:41.816 --> 00:25:50.018
Now she's telling her family member that it's going to be the whole family, but, like we're saying, she's a fucking kid, fucking kid.

00:25:50.038 --> 00:25:52.623
Yeah, and he's the adult and he should have.

00:25:53.490 --> 00:26:21.473
One never even breathed air into this crazy idea of taking a student on a fishing trip privately I mean the thing about it is, if it was, uh, a young boy, he was mentoring, I mean it would all be completely straight, cool, but his fucking intentions, weren't that?

00:26:21.513 --> 00:26:25.962
No, they were mischievous, to say the least, at best.

00:26:26.563 --> 00:26:32.387
She did say that misleading her sister was only her idea because she knew what she was doing was wrong.

00:26:32.387 --> 00:27:01.316
She recalled Tatlock asking her if she had told her sister that it was only going to be the two of them, and she responded to Tatlock that she had lied to her sister, saying that she was going fishing with the fam so when asked to describe the drive to cataract, she described tatlock is looking at her for you know, kind of too long.

00:27:01.336 --> 00:27:10.559
She recalled thinking to herself that he should really stop staring at her now, while on the drive to the lake he started making inappropriate jokes.

00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:23.738
She mentioned that she wasn't listening to her intuition and described that she had a nervous feeling that her stomach was hurting and that the situation started just to feel really, really awkward.

00:27:25.381 --> 00:27:29.734
The victim recalled Tatlock talking about girls from the Austin Indiana area.

00:27:29.734 --> 00:27:38.142
She said that he said Austin girls are really hot and that he suggested that he had messed with an Austin girl before.

00:27:38.142 --> 00:27:44.303
The victim thought that Tatlock was describing an incident during which he had cheated on his wife.

00:27:44.303 --> 00:27:51.038
The victim stated that Tatlock had admitted to her in their discussions that he had cheated on his wife a year after they got married, cheated on his wife two years.

00:27:51.038 --> 00:27:54.718
That he had cheated on his wife a year after they got married, cheated on his wife two years ago.

00:27:54.718 --> 00:27:58.619
Had cheated on his wife the summer before they had met.

00:27:59.349 --> 00:28:01.498
Serial adulterer there.

00:28:02.670 --> 00:28:06.401
He's dipping his toes in the water with half his fucking foot.

00:28:09.391 --> 00:28:21.806
She then talked about confronting Tatlock on June 6th 2024, two days after the incident on the boat, asking him how many girls he had cheated on his wife with.

00:28:21.806 --> 00:28:25.892
She recalled him responding that she was the youngest.

00:28:25.892 --> 00:28:37.160
She also recalled thinking during this conversation that the relationship between her and Tatlock had been premeditated on his part.

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:43.144
The victim then returned to discussing the comments made by Tatlock about the girls from Austin, Indiana.

00:28:43.144 --> 00:28:49.667
She said that Tatlock had shared in discussion about a cousin of his and blowjobs.

00:28:49.667 --> 00:28:56.383
She recalled feeling this discussion was inappropriate and how it made her feel weird and want to switch the topic.

00:28:56.852 --> 00:28:58.409
I bet she wanted to switch the topic.

00:28:58.409 --> 00:29:04.057
Nobody wants to talk about their cousins and blowjobs Not with a fucking dude that's old enough to be your.

00:29:04.077 --> 00:29:06.997
That's the school cop and your yeah, that's fucked up.

00:29:06.997 --> 00:29:25.982
She confirmed that this discussion occurred while in Tatlock's truck on the drive to Cataract Lake.

00:29:25.982 --> 00:29:26.903
Oh, my goodness matter.

00:29:26.903 --> 00:29:40.912
She expressed that what had happened to her only involved her and Tatlock and she was worried that if others would be brought into the situation, she was in fear of being humiliated at school Poor thing.

00:29:40.912 --> 00:29:49.751
She also stated that she even told Tatlock after the boat incident that she was not going to tell anyone about it.

00:29:49.751 --> 00:30:00.873
She added that she felt that the situation was placed in was so unfair she described not being able to sleep, being scared, and that she lacked an appetite.

00:30:00.873 --> 00:30:09.076
She also expressed concern for tatlock and his family, not wanting him to get in trouble, lose his job, loses vehicles.

00:30:09.076 --> 00:30:12.903
She felt responsible for whatever Tatlock had going on for him.

00:30:13.551 --> 00:30:15.730
No, it is not her responsibility.

00:30:15.730 --> 00:30:21.022
He is a grown man and he knows the difference between wrong and right.

00:30:21.022 --> 00:30:25.700
He put them shoes on and laced them up and started walking in them.

00:30:25.819 --> 00:30:28.116
so he crossed that fucking line.

00:30:28.116 --> 00:30:39.042
The victim then discussed an interaction that she had had with her sister when her sister viewed something on her phone she described to her sister as unsafe.

00:30:39.042 --> 00:30:50.286
She elaborated saying that this was the precursor event that eventually led to her disclosing to her sister that she had been sexually assaulted by Tatlock.

00:30:51.530 --> 00:30:55.821
She stated I haven't been the same person since what he did to me.

00:30:55.821 --> 00:30:57.536
I haven't been the same person.

00:30:57.536 --> 00:30:58.895
I've had trouble sleeping.

00:30:58.895 --> 00:31:01.298
I've been traumatized.

00:31:01.298 --> 00:31:07.061
She stated that for some reason she cared more for Tatlock than for herself.

00:31:07.061 --> 00:31:17.710
She said she knows what it's like to have a dad in jail and thought to herself that she couldn't imagine the look on the faces of his family when they found out about the incident.

00:31:19.071 --> 00:31:29.596
Now, while rationalizing her thoughts, the victim suggested that tatlock could have blamed his actions on the boat on being drunk.

00:31:29.596 --> 00:31:40.644
She suggested that he knew exactly what he was doing, that he had premeditated it, that he had told her that he had been eyeing her since the first day of school.

00:31:40.644 --> 00:31:44.880
She described feeling betrayed, vulnerable and grossed out.

00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:50.615
She then refocuses on talking about the June 4th incident at Cataract Lake.

00:31:50.615 --> 00:31:53.843
She recalled him launching the boat.

00:31:53.843 --> 00:32:02.403
She remembered that once they were underway on the boat that her whole entire stomach just sinks.

00:32:02.403 --> 00:32:18.917
She got this horrible feeling and she described it, that she was acutely aware that she was now on the boat alone with him and added that after their discussions in the truck on the way to the lake, that she was feeling scared shitless.

00:32:19.670 --> 00:32:20.634
Scared shitless.

00:32:20.634 --> 00:32:36.179
I mean I wonder if her mind she was thinking, yeah, I'm kind of going on this fishing trip with the mentor thing, and then she realized he was probably fucking staring at her and shit with them weird ass fucking eyes and she was like son of a bitch man.

00:32:36.179 --> 00:32:38.392
I'm out here on the fucking boat with this motherfucker.

00:32:38.392 --> 00:32:39.434
He's got liquor.

00:32:39.434 --> 00:32:41.881
He's looking at me like he wants to fucking attack me.

00:32:41.881 --> 00:32:44.534
Now what the fuck am I gonna do?

00:32:46.277 --> 00:32:51.913
I couldn't even imagine it she then starts describing about what it was like on the boat.

00:32:51.913 --> 00:32:56.778
She said that he was at the controls of the boat and he was going pretty fucking fast.

00:32:56.778 --> 00:32:59.971
He kept looking at her like in a weird way.

00:32:59.971 --> 00:33:05.284
She described him as smiling at her and like looking at her in a flirtatious manner.

00:33:05.284 --> 00:33:09.621
She said that he navigated the boat to a back corner of the lake.

00:33:09.621 --> 00:33:13.731
She recalled feeling scared and concerned about what would happen to her.

00:33:14.212 --> 00:33:20.717
She drew an illustration on the whiteboard to attempt to assist in her explanation of where they were on the lake.

00:33:20.717 --> 00:33:31.550
She explained that the area that Tatlock had driven the boat to was surrounded by trees and she said while they were there she did not see any houses or boats in the area.

00:33:31.550 --> 00:33:34.211
I bet he knew this lake like the back of his hand.

00:33:34.211 --> 00:33:36.993
He had this shit all planned the fuck out.

00:33:36.993 --> 00:33:41.336
She said that while in this area that's when they start drinking.

00:33:41.336 --> 00:33:48.680
She said that Tatlock had brought for her Svedka, blue raspberry and rum and Diet Coke for him.

00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:54.042
She felt that it was only about 10 minutes into the boat trip when she began drinking.

00:33:54.042 --> 00:34:01.446
She recalled drinking approximately two to three shots worth of the vodka, drinking it straight from the bottle.

00:34:01.727 --> 00:34:02.207
Shoo.

00:34:02.607 --> 00:34:02.887
Shoo.

00:34:05.150 --> 00:34:05.590
No chaser.

00:34:06.893 --> 00:34:12.603
She said that the two of them began fishing and the conversation turned to where she may want to attend college.

00:34:12.603 --> 00:34:20.759
Tatlock asked her about attending college in Kentucky and how serious she was about that.

00:34:20.759 --> 00:34:23.007
She stated that she really was interested in studying nursing at IU.

00:34:23.007 --> 00:34:29.864
She remembered that she perceived Tatlock preferred her coming to IU instead of going to Kentucky.

00:34:29.864 --> 00:34:31.597
He wanted to keep her ass right around here.

00:34:32.610 --> 00:34:41.443
She stated that it felt like about 20 minutes or so she was starting to feel the intoxicating effects from drinking the vodka.

00:34:41.443 --> 00:34:45.740
She described feeling dizzy and that everything appeared to be very bright.

00:34:45.740 --> 00:34:54.833
When asked, she said she was familiar with the taste of this particular beverage and added that it did not taste weird to her.

00:34:54.833 --> 00:34:59.507
She described the bottle as being a brand new bottle.

00:34:59.507 --> 00:35:08.871
She couldn't remember if the seal was broken or not and that she stated she did not think that she had been drugged in any way.

00:35:08.871 --> 00:35:21.864
And then she described at one point she remembered chugging away on the vodka bottle, and after that the victim and Tatlock started discussing previous relationships.

00:35:22.971 --> 00:35:28.402
She stated that about 10 minutes after they started fishing, tatlock caught a catfish.

00:35:28.402 --> 00:35:31.539
She recalled feeling jealous because she hadn't caught anything.

00:35:31.539 --> 00:35:35.501
She said that Tatlock took a picture of the fish with his cell phone.

00:35:35.501 --> 00:35:41.894
She recalled that she continued to fish for approximately 15 minutes after this, but then she gave up.

00:35:41.894 --> 00:35:50.561
She then recalled that she had just sat down and drank some more of the vodka, and this kind of attributed to her feeling so nervous.

00:35:50.561 --> 00:35:55.661
She described that Tatlock had said something like damn girl, slow down on that vodka.

00:35:55.661 --> 00:36:01.722
She recalled him asking her if she was done fishing and her responding that she was just taking a break.

00:36:01.722 --> 00:36:08.456
She said that Tatlock then took a break from fishing also and stated that he then sat down next to her.

00:36:08.456 --> 00:36:18.726
She described herself as feeling pretty tipsy at this point and said that it appeared to her that he had drank approximately half of his bottle of rum and Diet Coke.

00:36:18.726 --> 00:36:21.438
She described the rum as dark in color.

00:36:21.438 --> 00:36:23.454
I wonder if it was a fifth or a pint.

00:36:23.454 --> 00:36:26.021
Probably a fifth.

00:36:27.271 --> 00:36:28.215
That's the big one.

00:36:28.615 --> 00:36:28.896
Yes.

00:36:29.489 --> 00:36:31.353
I can't ever, ever remember.

00:36:31.373 --> 00:36:34.876
Well, I guess that's the medium one if you call the half gallon the big one.

00:36:34.896 --> 00:36:36.157
Yes, I can't ever ever remember.

00:36:36.197 --> 00:36:37.559
Well, I guess that's the medium one.

00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:42.186
If you call the half gallon the big one, oh, you got a pint, basically a fifth, and then a half gallon, but a fifth is a pretty big fucking bottle.

00:36:49.309 --> 00:36:51.338
She began an attempt to explain the boat and draw another illustration to assist in her description.

00:36:51.338 --> 00:36:57.619
She described tatlock's boat as being worth about ten thousand dollars and added that he had just recently purchased it.

00:36:57.619 --> 00:37:16.336
She pointed out you know every where they were seated at now, I have to say, out of all the probable cause affidavits that I've read, I have to say this is by far the most detailed, in-depth one that I've ever read.

00:37:16.336 --> 00:37:18.597
They did an amazing investigation.

00:37:19.179 --> 00:37:21.175
I have to say I have to second that motion.

00:37:21.175 --> 00:37:27.498
Man, these dudes, they thoroughly went through this case and hit this shit point by point.

00:37:27.498 --> 00:37:30.739
Man, they don't leave anything uncovered, in my opinion.

00:37:31.251 --> 00:37:37.681
No, even down to asking you know what color of liquid is in that bottle?

00:37:37.681 --> 00:37:39.172
That's pretty detailed.

00:37:39.172 --> 00:37:44.954
When asked, the victim said that the alcohol had been stored in compartments upon the boat.

00:37:44.954 --> 00:37:48.831
She did not remember if he had brought any water along.

00:37:48.831 --> 00:37:52.097
She only recalled the alcohol and snacks being on the boat.

00:37:52.097 --> 00:37:59.043
She did not recall anything remarkable about the boat, just that she had never been on one like that before.

00:37:59.990 --> 00:38:05.282
The interviewer directed the victim to think back when Tatlock sat down beside her in the boat.

00:38:05.282 --> 00:38:08.860
She described feeling drunk at that point.

00:38:08.860 --> 00:38:17.485
She couldn't recall what they were discussing at that moment, but she did remember he began to touch her, rubbing his hand on her leg.

00:38:17.485 --> 00:38:21.840
She remembered Tatlock mentioning that the skin on her legs was soft.

00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:27.494
She said that Tatlock began talking about his wife and that she had been driving him crazy.

00:38:27.494 --> 00:38:33.065
She described that conversation turned to them discussing how they liked each other.

00:38:33.065 --> 00:38:37.663
She said that Tatlock then began to talk about his sex stories.

00:38:38.545 --> 00:38:48.715
The victim recalled that Tatlock spoke of cheating on his wife with a female police officer the previous summer, as well as discussing cheating on his wife with multiple women.

00:38:48.715 --> 00:38:59.300
The victim said Tatlock stated that he had sex in the passenger seat of his truck, presumably with someone other than his wife, and that Tatlock said that it was the best sex of his life.

00:38:59.300 --> 00:39:11.094
The victim said while Tatlock was telling this story, he said that quote I nutted so hard that it shot over her head from where we were laying at that.

00:39:11.094 --> 00:39:12.775
It shot over her head from where we were laying at.

00:39:12.795 --> 00:39:17.878
She recalled feeling absolutely shocked at hearing this described by him.

00:39:17.878 --> 00:39:28.106
She reported that he also told her quote there's a nut stain on the passenger side where you're sitting at end quote.

00:39:28.106 --> 00:39:37.302
Holy shit man, that is so I can't even imagine what this poor girl's mind, what's running through her mind?

00:39:37.302 --> 00:39:46.210
She stated that later, after returning to the truck, she observed a stain on the passenger seat.

00:39:46.210 --> 00:39:49.902
That could have been what he was speaking of.

00:39:49.902 --> 00:39:56.300
She pointed it out to him and he responded quote see, I told you.

00:39:56.961 --> 00:39:57.764
That's fucked up.

00:39:57.764 --> 00:40:05.599
That's not a conversation that a 40, middle-aged, 40-something-year-old man needs to be discussing with a 17-year-old kid.

00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:13.047
No, I mean, that's some shit that dudes be talking about by their self, not even when females of any age are around.

00:40:13.047 --> 00:40:13.469
You know what I mean.

00:40:13.469 --> 00:40:16.617
I know that it's so hard, it's shot over her head.

00:40:16.697 --> 00:40:17.842
It's disgusting, it's fucked up.

00:40:17.842 --> 00:40:25.130
She stated that the conversation with him turned towards him being unhappy in his marriage.

00:40:25.130 --> 00:40:34.324
She recalled that she responded back with advice and asked him why he doesn't just get a divorce from his wife.

00:40:34.324 --> 00:40:48.693
Now there is other things listed in this probable cause that I'm not going to say out of respect for his wife, but if she wants to know she needs to ask him or get a copy of the probable cause and read it herself.

00:40:49.373 --> 00:40:50.836
I'd fucking ask him if I was her.

00:40:50.836 --> 00:41:01.000
Victor recalled Tatlock saying that when he does have sex with his wife, it's like once a month, and after that quote, the shops closed for the rest of the month.

00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:01.661
Unquote.

00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:02.643
As it should be.

00:41:02.643 --> 00:41:07.202
She probably knows, he's just a weirdo, you know.

00:41:07.530 --> 00:41:08.974
Or maybe she's just tired of fucking him.

00:41:08.974 --> 00:41:10.250
After 25 years, you know.

00:41:10.250 --> 00:41:12.552
Maybe she's just tired of fucking him after 25 years.

00:41:12.572 --> 00:41:27.322
The victim pondered aloud thinking you know, if others were hearing this situation right now, a 45 year old, grown man telling his 17 year old student would likely think it was gross and weird.

00:41:27.322 --> 00:41:33.666
She recalled thinking that Tatlock should not be telling this to anyone, particularly not to his students.

00:41:33.666 --> 00:41:49.204
Now she described that while this conversation was occurring that Tatlock was continuously rubbing her leg.

00:41:49.204 --> 00:41:50.088
She then recalled fishing.

00:41:50.088 --> 00:41:56.402
Again for a short time she thought she only had one fishing pole in her hand, two or three times and she said the rest of the boat trip.

00:41:56.402 --> 00:41:57.907
She was being quote assaulted.

00:41:58.409 --> 00:42:05.251
Damn, and they was in the water from like nine o'clock till three or four ish because he dropped her back off at the high school.

00:42:05.251 --> 00:42:07.873
Five or six ish, ish, yeah.

00:42:08.329 --> 00:42:12.202
So they were on the water all day For six, seven hours.

00:42:12.202 --> 00:42:13.820
Good roundabout time.

00:42:15.876 --> 00:42:26.164
The victim described Tatlock as saying You're just so beautiful the most gorgeous eyes, gorgeous eyebrows, lips, your shape is nice, you look Latina.

00:42:26.164 --> 00:42:31.735
The victim described feeling again validated by his compliments, so he's making her feel good.

00:42:31.735 --> 00:42:33.001
He knows what the fuck he's doing.

00:42:33.001 --> 00:42:39.063
Didn't you say that he just took a sexual assault class a couple weeks before this fucking shit happened?

00:42:39.364 --> 00:42:47.391
I think he had to help give one to the students at the school or he was in a class when it occurred um.

00:42:47.391 --> 00:43:02.422
We'll get to that later, but it's in here holy shit so the victim described that when they were on the boat that Tatlock was mirroring her position, like he sat down right next to her.

00:43:02.422 --> 00:43:07.547
He's looking in her eyes while she's talking, like a mirror image of herself.

00:43:07.815 --> 00:43:11.445
Like sitting directly across from each other, knees touching, looking face to face.

00:43:11.574 --> 00:43:25.827
That's what I got out of it looking face to face is what I got out of it, and she added that while they were sitting like this, tatlock moved from rubbing her leg to rubbing her arm, and then, I'm sure, other places as well.

00:43:26.556 --> 00:43:36.054
She stated that Tatlock had told her that he had been on her since the day he met her, meaning that he was fucking checking her out the first time he saw her.

00:43:36.054 --> 00:43:48.009
She further described that Tatlock expressed to her that he had felt creepy for having the attraction to her and added that he mentioned that he did not see her as a normal 17-year-old girl.

00:43:48.009 --> 00:43:53.186
The victim continued to relay what Tatlock told her about his attraction to her.

00:43:53.186 --> 00:44:07.096
She said that Tatlock told her that he was obsessed with her and that's in quotes that he thought about her every day and that he was freaked out when she did not respond to his email that one day, which she spoke of earlier in the interview.

00:44:07.998 --> 00:44:15.565
She said that Tatlock described being attracted to her, recalling that she was wearing a tight top and jeans on the first day of school.

00:44:15.565 --> 00:44:19.903
He told her that on the first day of school he thought she was gorgeous.

00:44:19.903 --> 00:44:23.922
He told her that he wanted to know who she was.

00:44:23.922 --> 00:44:29.536
He recounted to her that he had heard the security guard call her by her first name.

00:44:29.536 --> 00:44:40.851
He then told the victim that he looked her name up in the Skyward school system, the school student database, and found many students with the same first name.

00:44:40.851 --> 00:44:42.797
She described that.

00:44:42.797 --> 00:44:49.110
He told her that he looked at each one of these student profiles to find her name and address.

00:44:49.110 --> 00:44:58.170
She recalled that Tatlock noticed that, based on her address, she lived like close to the school.

00:44:58.936 --> 00:45:11.782
They asked the victim if she had ever observed Tatlock, like driving past her house, but then she added that maybe that might have been his normal route of travel, so she never thought much about it.

00:45:11.782 --> 00:45:20.670
The victim highlighted that Tatlock said that he had an attraction to her on the first day of school and pointed out that she was only 16 years old at the time.

00:45:20.670 --> 00:45:33.045
She discussed aloud that after hearing this from Tatlock, she had feelings of being frustrated, annoyed and angry, considering the actions he described that he took, finding more about her.

00:45:33.045 --> 00:45:34.807
It's kind of fucking creepy that he took finding more about her.

00:45:34.827 --> 00:45:35.369
It's kind of fucking creepy.

00:45:35.369 --> 00:45:45.427
She stated that in the moment of hearing this described by him, she felt uncomfortable, and then she felt like he was a creepy old man.

00:45:45.427 --> 00:46:08.387
After that she spoke about how she looked much younger on the first day of school than she did on June 4th, adding that during, you know, during this time period, she had gone through a lot of changes and you know that she didn't think that this was normal, that Tatlock should be attracted to someone of her age.

00:46:08.387 --> 00:46:16.260
She said that after Tatlock disclosed this to her, she told him that she had a crush on him as well.

00:46:16.260 --> 00:46:23.753
Victim said that he responded that he was glad she told him that because he felt quote crazy and weird.

00:46:23.753 --> 00:46:29.827
End quote the victim said at this point Tatlock began to become more physical with her.

00:46:30.775 --> 00:46:42.244
She said that Tatlock even said quote I shouldn't be doing this unquote the victim recalled that she began to drink more alcohol, even drinking some of Tatlock's rum and Diet Coke.

00:46:42.244 --> 00:46:51.235
Acknowledging that she can't remember everything that led into the moment, she did remember that Tatlock began rubbing her shoulder and complimenting on her muscles.

00:46:51.235 --> 00:46:59.021
She again offered that the sentiment, that of Tatlock's attention it made her feel quote like a million bucks.

00:47:00.085 --> 00:47:08.768
She said after this exchange she remembered Tatlock talking to her in a sexual manner and again somehow brought his wife into the conversation.

00:47:08.768 --> 00:47:18.590
She said that the next thing she remembers was that she had to go to the bathroom, so she had told tatlock this.

00:47:18.590 --> 00:47:22.443
She recalled that he pulled the boat close to the shore and let her off.

00:47:22.443 --> 00:47:32.257
She was feeling scared that tatlock might watch her go to the bathroom or see her private area, so she made sure to go to a well hidden area.

00:47:32.257 --> 00:47:40.824
She stated that when she returned to the boat that he assisted her back on and said that he smacked her ass.

00:47:40.824 --> 00:47:45.581
She recalled Tatlock asking did I just slap your ass?

00:47:45.581 --> 00:47:49.742
She recalled that she responded that she didn't think so.

00:47:49.742 --> 00:47:58.766
She said that she knew that he did, but responded in that way because she was scared and didn't want to have to tell him that it made her uncomfortable.

00:47:58.766 --> 00:48:07.429
She described that both she and Tatlock were seated in the boat at this point and they were talking and he started to rub her back.

00:48:07.429 --> 00:48:10.965
She described moving to another area of the lake.

00:48:10.965 --> 00:48:18.219
She could not recall where on the lake that they were when it happened, but she said that he asked her if he could kiss her.

00:48:18.219 --> 00:48:27.922
She said that she responded with yes and stated that he kissed her on the lips as well as other places on her body.

00:48:27.922 --> 00:48:36.166
She proceeded to describe that he kissed her head and her ear, describing him nibbling on her ear.

00:48:36.835 --> 00:48:41.067
While describing this, the victim grabbed her right ear in the presence of the interviewer.

00:48:41.067 --> 00:48:46.025
The victim recalled that she spilled some of the alcohol on her leg.

00:48:46.025 --> 00:48:56.166
Seeing this, tatlock brought up the time that she spilled the Frosty on herself earlier in the year while they were in the school vehicle.

00:48:56.166 --> 00:49:07.679
Tatlov mentioned how that had turned him on back then and then asked the victim if he could lick the alcohol off of her leg.

00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:15.485
She recalled giving him permission and said that he proceeded to lick the alcohol off of her leg in her upper thigh area.

00:49:15.485 --> 00:49:22.346
While describing this to the interviewer, I observed that she pointed to the upper area of her left leg.

00:49:22.346 --> 00:49:29.844
The victim described the feeling as being grossed out and this was absolutely weird that this was happening.

00:49:30.755 --> 00:49:35.226
The interview also asked the victim to be more specific about Tatlock licking her leg.

00:49:35.226 --> 00:49:41.547
The victim clarified that Tatlock licked the skin of her leg, not just the material on her shorts.

00:49:41.547 --> 00:49:49.498
She added that Tatlock's hands were on her leg when he licked it and she demonstrated his hand placement for the interviewer.

00:49:49.498 --> 00:50:01.525
When asked by the interviewer what she heard when Tatlock was licking her leg, she said that she was grossed out and couldn't hear much other than his tongue placed on her skin.

00:50:01.525 --> 00:50:10.251
She stated that she felt fucking petrified in the moment and that she was literally quote, froze, unquote, she said.

00:50:10.251 --> 00:50:13.952
At that point she turned away from Tatlock and said she was going to take a nap.

00:50:13.952 --> 00:50:22.918
She recalled sitting up from lying down position and eating a snack.

00:50:22.918 --> 00:50:24.963
The victim said that Tatlock had maneuvered the boat to be in a different area of the lake.

00:50:24.963 --> 00:50:30.639
There she described that both she and Tatlock each took a nap on opposite sides of the boat.

00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:36.750
She recalled Tatlock placing a towel over his face and hearing him make snoring sounds.

00:50:38.275 --> 00:50:45.275
She said that at this point she woke up and felt that some of the alcohol intoxication was wearing off.

00:50:45.275 --> 00:50:47.239
She told him that her.

00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:52.668
She told him that her head was hurting, even though it really didn't.

00:50:52.668 --> 00:50:58.061
She said that she wanted it to seem as if she was drunk because she was scared.

00:50:58.061 --> 00:51:06.565
She recalled playing some music on her phone and remembered starting to use a fishing pole again, but gave up there shortly after.

00:51:06.565 --> 00:51:13.967
She described her belief that between three and four on this date, she felt like they had been out on the boat for a while.

00:51:13.967 --> 00:51:18.277
On this date, she felt like they had been out on the boat for a while.

00:51:18.297 --> 00:51:21.525
She summarized some of the occurrences on the boat that tatlock had licked the alcohol from her leg.

00:51:21.525 --> 00:51:24.255
That he had slapped her ass, kissed her.

00:51:24.255 --> 00:51:37.731
That he had kissed her neck, and then described tatlock reaching inside of her waistband with one hand near her belly button area.

00:51:37.731 --> 00:51:45.148
She described how she was feeling and indicated that she did not want Tatlock to touch her private areas.

00:51:45.148 --> 00:51:47.603
She said that she turned away from him.

00:51:47.603 --> 00:51:56.148
Tatlock may have offered an apology and asked if that tickled or something to that effect.

00:51:56.148 --> 00:52:05.849
She tried to describe and show how Tatlock and their bodies were positioned, adding that she was laying on him.

00:52:05.849 --> 00:52:16.791
She described Tatlock asked if she wanted to see a trick, she said that Tatlock told her that he could unclasp a brawl with one hand.

00:52:16.791 --> 00:52:23.246
The victim stated that before she could respond, tatlock unclasped her brawl.

00:52:23.246 --> 00:52:29.164
She said that after this happened she didn't move and was not going to remove her brawl.

00:52:29.164 --> 00:52:39.903
She recalled commenting to Tatlock that he must have had practice and the two of them started laughing about it, but she felt terrified in the moment.

00:52:41.295 --> 00:52:44.286
You know, opinions are like assholes Everybody's got one.

00:52:44.286 --> 00:52:45.942
I just can't help but wonder.

00:52:45.942 --> 00:53:10.148
It just seems weird to me that they were kind of like really freaking drunk and hot and heavy, or he was anyway, and then the next thing she remembers is she woke up and dude was snoring Like I wonder if something happened when she was so fucked up that either A she don't remember or B her mind is blocked out because it was so fucking traumatizing to her.

00:53:10.148 --> 00:53:12.563
But, like I said, I was just thinking.

00:53:12.563 --> 00:53:22.610
The victim recalled that Tatlock asked her how big her boobs were and described and motioned how Tatlock grabbed her breast on the outside of her shirt.

00:53:22.610 --> 00:53:23.735
She said that.

00:53:23.735 --> 00:53:29.989
Tatlock said that they were pretty big, to which she told him quote, yeah, for a 17 year old.

00:53:29.989 --> 00:53:34.876
She said that Tatlock responded don't say that Again.

00:53:34.876 --> 00:53:36.940
He's fucking acknowledging that.

00:53:36.940 --> 00:53:38.965
It's even the mission.

00:53:38.985 --> 00:53:39.746
What he's doing is wrong.

00:53:39.847 --> 00:53:40.429
Absolutely.

00:53:40.934 --> 00:53:50.090
She described that she was feeling that they were supposed to be fishing not her having Tatlock touch her boobs and do her brawl, slap her ass and kissing her.

00:53:50.090 --> 00:53:57.168
When asked, the victim stated that she felt immediate disgust when Tatlock grabbed her boobs.

00:53:57.168 --> 00:54:01.485
She also described having the feeling that she was being assaulted at the moment.

00:54:01.485 --> 00:54:06.706
She believed that around 5 pm they were getting ready to depart the lake and head home.

00:54:06.706 --> 00:54:14.608
The victim said that her bra was still unclasped and remembered Tatlock asking her if he should hook it back up.

00:54:14.608 --> 00:54:17.483
She said that she gave him permission to do so.

00:54:17.483 --> 00:54:20.603
She described her bra as having three hoops.

00:54:20.795 --> 00:54:25.135
She stated that Tatlock again began rubbing her back Now.

00:54:25.135 --> 00:54:30.248
She said that her and Tatlock agreed on leaving the lake.

00:54:30.248 --> 00:54:36.878
She recalled jokingly asking him to let her during the boat trip.

00:54:36.878 --> 00:55:10.628
She said that Tatlock made a comment while getting into the truck after loading the boat that it had been hard to do so while drunk.

00:55:10.628 --> 00:55:17.820
She mentioned that she had taken a photograph of herself while on the boat June 4th, but she had deleted it.

00:55:17.820 --> 00:55:24.340
She thought that while going through her phone, detectives may possibly be able to find this photo.

00:55:25.240 --> 00:55:29.556
She stated that on the road trip back to Bloomington she pretended to be asleep.

00:55:29.556 --> 00:55:32.702
She did not really want to interact with Tatlock anymore.

00:55:32.702 --> 00:55:35.929
She described knowing that she was just assaulted.

00:55:35.929 --> 00:55:40.686
She felt vulnerable and quote unquote naked even though she was clothed.

00:55:40.686 --> 00:55:45.005
She said that Tatlock was rubbing her back during the ride home from the lake.

00:55:46.496 --> 00:55:49.204
She remembers arriving at Bloomington North High School.

00:55:49.204 --> 00:55:59.630
She recognized the school parking lot and while peeking through the corner of her eye and she was acting like she had just woken up at that time, even though she hadn't been asleep the whole trip.

00:55:59.630 --> 00:56:08.717
When departing each other from the school parking lot, she recalled Tatlock thanked her and told her that he had fun, suggesting they should do it again.

00:56:08.717 --> 00:56:12.847
She said that Tatlock also expressed that he was here for her.

00:56:12.847 --> 00:56:15.538
She recalled questioning if this was a sincere comment or not.

00:56:15.538 --> 00:56:15.768
She said that she asked.

00:56:15.768 --> 00:56:16.402
Tatlock also expressed that he was here for her.

00:56:16.402 --> 00:56:17.369
She recalled questioning if this was a sincere comment or not.

00:56:18.135 --> 00:56:21.346
She said that she asked Tatlock if he was going to keep the vodka bottle.

00:56:21.346 --> 00:56:27.382
He mentioned that something about his wife may have concerned about it, so he suggested the victim take it with her.

00:56:27.382 --> 00:56:35.047
She suggested that her possession of the alcohol might have been captured on the school surveillance camera system.

00:56:35.047 --> 00:56:38.423
She said that she put the alcohol bottle in her trunk.

00:56:38.423 --> 00:56:45.885
She recalled being concerned driving around in the days after the alcohol bottle was in the trunk, mentioning that it was illegal.

00:56:45.885 --> 00:56:52.097
She stated that she gave the bottle to alcohol to a coworker who was 21 years of age.

00:56:52.097 --> 00:56:54.364
Of course that's legal.

00:56:54.603 --> 00:56:55.085
You know what I mean.

00:56:55.085 --> 00:57:04.742
She said that after saying goodbye to Tatlock in the school parking lot on June 4th, she started bawling her eyes out, crying when driving towards her house.

00:57:04.742 --> 00:57:13.820
She remembered thinking to herself get it together, recognizing that she would be encountering her family upon arriving home.

00:57:13.820 --> 00:57:16.744
She described feeling violated.

00:57:16.744 --> 00:57:21.885
Violated, weird and grossed out by what had occurred that day, by tatlock's actions.

00:57:21.885 --> 00:57:30.965
She recalled that she lied to her family, saying that she had a fun time on the trip and said that tatlock's family was nice.

00:57:30.965 --> 00:57:35.804
She said that after the exchange with her family members, she went to her room.

00:57:35.804 --> 00:57:39.822
She recalled being very hungry but had no appetite to eat.

00:57:39.822 --> 00:57:47.003
She said that, despite her feeling, she emailed tatlock and asked that he respond upon arriving home.

00:57:47.003 --> 00:57:51.699
She thought that this email may be able to be recovered on her phone.

00:57:52.942 --> 00:57:59.942
She recalled feeling as if she was in disbelief of what had transpired that day and decided to just go to sleep.

00:57:59.942 --> 00:58:03.231
She recalled that when she woke up, her head was pounding.

00:58:03.231 --> 00:58:06.760
She believed that she was being affected by a hangover.

00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:23.708
She then described having a range of thoughts about what Tatlock's daughter or wife would think about what had happened and feeling regret for flirting with Tatlock and thinking that what had happened to her was her fault as well, in which it was not.

00:58:23.708 --> 00:58:33.682
The victim reported that she had received an email back from him in which he wrote something like good night, beautiful, and see you.

00:58:33.682 --> 00:58:42.184
She recalled that he emailed something to that effect of finding her eyelash hairs stuck to his nipple.

00:58:42.184 --> 00:58:48.485
She explained that while going fast on the boat she had commented about her eyelashes were coming off.

00:58:49.108 --> 00:58:49.550
Damn.

00:58:49.550 --> 00:58:56.827
So the victim said that she struggled with her emotions the next day, having stomach pain and felt disgusted and grossed out.

00:58:56.827 --> 00:59:02.947
She said that it had bothered her and she felt she had to act normal to everyone as if nothing had happened to her.

00:59:02.947 --> 00:59:08.047
She described having difficulty sleeping and having flashbacks to what had happened on the boat.

00:59:08.047 --> 00:59:14.518
The victim remembered and talked about a comment that he had made while on the boat and talked about a comment that he had made while on the boat.

00:59:14.518 --> 00:59:21.083
She said that he had mentioned taking her to a Nashville in Brown County to a Hard Truth distillery.

00:59:21.083 --> 00:59:26.226
She stated that on June 5th she went to visit Tatlock at his school office.

00:59:26.226 --> 00:59:33.110
She described feeling concerned that if she had let on that she was scared that Tatlock may harm her.

00:59:33.110 --> 00:59:42.297
So she spoke to him as if she had been comfortable with what had happened on the boat and she said that they had flirted.

00:59:42.317 --> 00:59:57.775
Now, while she was in Tatlock's office, the victim said that she began to drink a vitamin water that came out of Tatlock's office refrigerator, she said.

00:59:57.775 --> 00:59:58.677
He asked her if the beverage tasted good.

00:59:58.677 --> 01:00:02.206
She said she commented that he could try it but noted that it had her saliva on it.

01:00:02.206 --> 01:00:09.862
And then he came back with a comment and he said I know a few things about that mouth.

01:00:09.862 --> 01:00:15.483
She recalled laughing at the comment and then had thoughts that made her feel gross.

01:00:16.375 --> 01:00:20.204
The victim stated Tatlock suggested going to lunch together the following week.

01:00:20.204 --> 01:00:23.923
At Hard Truth she said that she declined the invitation.

01:00:23.923 --> 01:00:32.608
I don't know, man, I got a little bit of weird feeling that maybe something more went on on this boat than is being told.

01:00:32.608 --> 01:00:37.014
I just just just my opinion, I don't know it.

01:00:37.014 --> 01:00:40.204
Just the whole scenario seems kind of weird to me.

01:00:42.115 --> 01:00:45.320
It's very odd, that's for sure.

01:00:45.702 --> 01:00:49.184
It is odd, and none of this is her fault whatsoever.

01:00:49.184 --> 01:00:49.925
No, none of it.

01:00:49.925 --> 01:00:53.963
Unfortunately, we're going to have to wrap this episode up.

01:00:53.963 --> 01:00:55.079
We're running out of time.

01:00:55.079 --> 01:01:01.420

01:01:29.389 --> 01:01:30.835
