Paulson told investigators he also looked the inmate up on Facebook and one of the jail database systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another guard at the jail reported to investigators that the woman showed concern for Paulson and didn’t want to get him in trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She said inmates were making rumors because she said Correctional Deputy Paulson was ‘Hot,’” the report says. “(The woman) said she was not a victim of a sexual assault and did not need an advocate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman was interviewed twice, on March 16 and March 22, and stated that she had initiated the contact with Paulson and did not want him to get into trouble. She also threatened to sue the county if that happened or if she was moved in the jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Frankly, it doesn’t matter,” Essick said when asked last week about whether the inmate consented to the behavior. “A correctional deputy is not to have a relationship with an inmate, period.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transcripts of investigators’ interviews with Paulson and the woman were not included in the released records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By May 22, Ravitch’s office had made the decision that it would not pursue charges, citing a “lack of victim cooperation,” according to the records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman had previously declined to speak to an investigator from the office because she wanted her attorney present, said Schwaiger. He advised the District Attorney’s Office in a May 5 letter that he was representing the woman.

In a text response to a phone call, she said Schwaiger could call her office with additional information. She declined further comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paulson initially appealed the firing notice, but records show he resigned two months later, in August 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A search of his name in the Sonoma County Superior Court website showed no criminal or civil cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An Army spokeswoman said applicant screening includes an extensive background check and interviews “to determine if applicants have a history of conduct that shows they have questionable moral character or that they hold views that are inconsistent with Army values.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said Paulson’s was the only case of sexual misconduct he is aware of involving a correctional deputy and an inmate in the Sonoma County jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public disclosure of the case comes less than a year after Sonoma County agreed to pay $1.7 million to settle a lawsuit filed by former inmates at the jail who said they were physically and verbally abused by correctional deputies in 2015 as part of a formal “\u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/8422996-181/sonoma-county-jail-yard-counseling\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">yard counseling\u003c/a>” policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit prompted the office to retrain jail employees on use‐of‐force procedures.

The charges were based on a series of encounters between Perez and the now 20-year-old Jasmine Abuslin, also known as Celeste Guap, in the summer of 2015, when she was 17 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Judge Jon Rolefson ruled from the bench Wednesday that the prosecution had not met its burden to prove Perez was guilty of either charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s nothing in this set of facts that he knew or should have known [Abuslin's age],\" Rolefson said in court. \"The burden is on the prosecution to disprove that lack of knowledge. They did not do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the lewd conduct in a public place, Rolefson found prosecutors failed to prove a likelihood that anyone who could be offended would be at the dark spot off rural Fish Ranch Road in Alameda County, where Perez allegedly drove Abuslin to have sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s no reasonable expectation that someone would be present to see it and be offended,\" Rolefson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez's defense attorney, Joe Motta, said his client couldn't talk about the case because he's still a defendant in one of five lawsuits brought by Abuslin against Contra Costa County, Alameda County, San Francisco, Richmond and Livermore.

Perez sent several photographs of his naked penis to Abuslin between July 2015 and April 2016, according to the testimony and exhibits at the preliminary hearing. Abuslin, though sometimes she protested, sent several naked, sexually explicit photographs of herself to the former deputy, sometimes while he appeared to be on duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mr. Perez did nothing to exploit this young woman,\" Motta said. Abuslin appears to have been sexually trafficked since she was 12 years old, he said, but the prosecution didn't investigate her earlier life and what led her to cultivate relationships with so many law enforcement officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By the time she was 17 or 18, she’s been a one-woman wrecking ball,\" Motta said. \"She’s destroyed lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dismissal of charges against Perez comes less than a month after Rolefson \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/09/13/charges-dismissed-for-ex-oakland-officer-in-police-sex-scandal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tossed out charges\u003c/a> against former Oakland police Officer Brian Bunton for allegedly trading information on prostitution stings for sex with Abuslin, who was over 18 and working in the sex trade at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fizzling criminal prosecutions are in contrast to the major scandal that inspired them and precipitated a succession of police chief \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/17/a-department-in-crisis-yet-another-oakland-police-chief-removed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resignations\u003c/a> in Oakland last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County District Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the dismissal Wednesday of charges against Perez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman called the dismissal of charges against Bunton in September \"disappointing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We firmly stand behind the criminal charges that we filed and wholeheartedly believe that the evidence supports the charges,\" the office said in a statement last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Stanford Law School Professor Robert Weisberg said there's a difference between a major scandal in the news and criminal charges before a judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it is a highly morally fraught case, as these are, and the allegations -- even if they’re just allegations -- are very, very stigmatizing, then the case is going to look worse for the defendants at the very start because it’s all a big part of this scandal,\" Weisberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the cases proceed through the criminal system, they separate from each other and from the larger scandal, allowing defense attorneys to focus on the weaknesses of charges against individual officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It turns out that the evidence is much more equivocal once you have lawyers homing in on the specific allegations against the specific individual, and you really stick to the facts about that particular individual rather than some general sense that he is part of some wider scandal or scheme,\" Weisberg said. \"The cases look weaker when they’re looked at with great scrutiny on an individual basis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible, Weisberg said, that pending civil claims will fare better than the criminal charges, due in part to a lower standard of proof in civil cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights attorney John Burris, who represents Abuslin in those cases, agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The civil case is one place that you can get stuff done,\" he said. \"You don’t have the similar constraints that you have in criminal cases that I think prevents jurors and judges from really objectively evaluating police officers’ conduct if it can result in jail or prison terms.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Abuslin's hours-long testimony in preliminary hearings concerning Bunton and Perez was difficult for her, and she's considering whether it's worth it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s very, very painful for her to put herself out like that and offer testimony and then to have it sort of rejected, if you will, later,\" Burris said. \"It’s been an eye-opener for her and certainly raises questions about whether she should go forward in any of these further criminal cases.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's expected to repeat that process in Alameda County Superior Court Thursday morning, when Oakland police Officer Giovanni LoVerde is scheduled for a preliminary hearing.
