vs

AYANNA M KNIGHT

ov 1, 2015

At approximately 1600 hours on Wednesday, October 7, 2015, the complainant went

to the Shell gas station at 1765 New York Avenue to fuel and wash his vehicle.

Upon reaching the gas station, he parked his car at a fuel pump. Complainant

then entered the gas station s store to pay. Once inside he encountered

Defendant Knight and Suspect Charles. While the complainant was inside of the

gas station store, Suspect Charles rubbed her clothed buttocks against the

complainant s clothed genitalia without provocation or consent. Defendant Knight

and Suspect Charles then both repeatedly groped complainant s groin and buttocks

against his will and without his consent. Complainant kept trying to avoid both

Defendant Knight and Suspect Charles, but they both followed him around the

inside of the gas station store and continued to grab his crotch, his chest, and

Defendant Knight forcibly put her arm around complainant. Complainant asked

employees of the gas station to call 911

but they declined. Complainant exited

the gas station and returned to the pump to fuel his car. Defendant Knight and

Suspect Charles followed him. Defendant Knight and Subject Charles groped the

complainant s groin and buttocks again while he pumped the gas. The complainant

used reasonable force to repel Defendant Knight and Suspect Charles s assault.

When the car was fueled, the complainant drove his vehicle into the gas station s

car wash. Defendant Knight and Suspect Charles walked to the exit of the car

wash and catcalled to the complainant inside. The complainant called 911 from

his mobile phone from inside the carwash. Once the carwash was finished, the

complainant left the scene, went home, and called 911 again. The incident was

recorded by gas station s security cameras which show the actions discussed

herein.

In response to the complainant s 911 calls, MPD detectives recovered the gas

station s security camera footage and extracted still photographs of the

assailants. The detectives circulated the still photographs among crime

suppression officers familiar with local prostitution. On Friday, November 6,

2015, officers with the Metropolitan Police Department contacted the undersigned

and identified the suspects as ms. Marjorie Charles with a date of birth of

09/14/1992 and Ms. Ayanna Marie Knight with a date of birth of 01/24/1993. The

The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and

were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.

The foregoing statement was made under penalty of criminal prosecution and punishment for false statements pursuant to D.C. Code § 22 2514
