Grant Robicheaux and Cerissa Riley were accused of allegedly sexually assaulting several women
However, a prosecutor from Spitzer’s office found there were “several proof problems” in the case and in October 2019 Spitzer assigned two deputy district attorneys to further examine the evidence. The review team poured through thousands of videos, photographs and documents, along with thousands of text messages and hundreds of hours of audio recordings between the couple covering a four-year period.
“There is not a single piece of evidence or video or photo that shows an unconscious or incapacitated woman being sexually assaulted,” Spitzer said. “Not one.” Spitzer defeated Rackauckas in the November 2018 election for the Orange County District Attorney seat. On Tuesday, Spitzer alleged that Rackauckas and his team “manufactured details about the case and repeatedly misstated evidence to garner headlines and further Rackauckus’ reelection campaign,” theSpitzer added that prosecutors would request the court to dismiss the charges against Robicheaux and Riley this week.
“I didn’t create this situation, but it’s my responsibility to fix it,” Spitzer said. “Doing justice is not always pretty, and it’s not pleasant many times. This is not pleasant at all, but these are important decisions that affect people’s lives.”
