Attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit"A' is a copy of MORENO's subsequent below- <br /> 2 <br /> 3 discussed May 24, 2023 complaint detailing misconduct of a serious nature on the part of both Rodriguez <br /> 4 and Valentin. <br /> 5 Attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B" is a true and correct copy of investigative <br /> 6 journalist Ben Camacho's June 21, 2023 article entitled "[CITY] Delays In vestigalion of a Child Sexual <br /> 7 <br /> Assault by an Off—Duty 0jf1cer by More than Ha Year, Commander Alleges" which includes an <br /> 8 <br /> 9 unredacted copy of MORENO's complaint released by an unknown person at IT <br /> 10 24. MOREND is inforined and believes that not only were the officers involved in the Culichi <br /> I I Town Incident not disciplined but they have received multiple promotions. <br /> 12 <br /> 25. On May 9,2022, Valentin released a video regarding the Culichi Town Incident in which: <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Valentin described how"a blog"[written by the above-referenced investigative journalist <br /> Camacho] that had been "shared on social media" contained "serious misinfannation"and <br /> 15 "baseless attacks on the integrity of some of the most dedicated members of our police <br /> department"; <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Valentin stated that he wished to "assure the community my command staff and I hold our <br /> officers to the highest standards"and that"we investigate any allegations ofwrongdoing and <br /> 18 hold officers accountable to our department policies and the law"; and <br /> 19 Valentin then described how an"anonymous complaint'''was received"seven months"after <br /> 20 the Culichi Town Incident and then falsely stated: "Upon receiving the initial complaint, <br /> 21 an internal affairs investigation was opened." <br /> 22 26. However, per MORENO's detailed complaint: (1) as the "initial complaint[s]" were made <br /> 23 in August of 2020 (not seven months later) to various upper-level police personnel (including other <br /> 24 <br /> Commanders who will so testify);and(2)no investigation was admittedly opened until(atthe earliest)seven <br /> 25 <br /> 26 months after the immediate complaints, this statement was false. <br /> 27 27. Despite this, Valentin retained (via significant CITY funds) purported "independent" <br /> 28 "investigators"(the OIR Group)who conducted an almost-year-long assessment based not only on the false <br /> lack-of-prompt-notice premise but admittedly interviewed only MET personnel (the OIR Report). <br /> 6 <br /> MORM90 V, CffYOF SANTA ANA CASENO. <br /> CONWL41NT <br />
