(In June 29, 2017 at approximately 11:51} am, was comin back from the bathroom on the
was hm. [ssh masts District atoms-s hulking ?its

support staff ?cubicle.

I decided to join the conversation. After talking with them for about 10-15 minutes,?
?came up to us. speci?cally myself and
?and asked us if we wanted to go to lunch at the Langham Hotel in
Pasadena where she and her family were staying as their house was being remodeled.

I said, ?well I was just going to get a salad and bring it back,? ?said that she
was just going to stay in to es. said ?come on, it?s my treat, I will even drive?.
So I said ?ok I will go?. then said ?ok I?m in". So each of us go to our
respective of?ces to get our purses and wallets. then headed down to the HDJ parking lot.

1When we got to the Langham at 12:20pm. we were seated right away outside near the pool.
The waiter came and we gave him our lunch selections. We all started talking about
various topics during lunch, from work to personal life outside ofwork.

?shared with us what was going on with her as far as her home life and that
pretty much her life revolves around work and nothing else right now. She started talking
about [Ml-case and how her and her co?eounsel got authority to dismiss and re?le
the casein order to better organize the issues in the case. A discussion arose about what

unit was ultimatelv res onsible for the direction ofthe case and who she is to report to as

?the Assistant Head whom I will not say his name?. She said it at least 3-4 times that I
heard.

During lunch, I was thinking to myself, what is going on with her not saying Ed?s name. I
would look at ?when she would say ?the Assistant Head whom I won?t say his
name? and?didn?t pick up on it. I thought it was unusual as I have only seen it
happen when I have handled cases where the victims are familiar with their perpetrators
and choose not to refer to them by their name.

At about 1:25pm, we left from the Langham Hotel and headed back to the of?ce. As-
-was driving, we were talking about the low morale in the Health Care Fraud unit
and how management, speci?cally Head Deputy Jennifer Snyder and Assistant Head
Deputy Ed Miller, were responding to it. And again, ?referred to Ed Miller
once in that conversation as ?the Assistant Head whose name I will not say?. During that
conversation, _aid that she would need to stop and get gas as she was near
empty. So we stopped at a Chevron gas station, and ?Ieft the car to go ?ll up
the gas tank.

While she was out of the ear, _and I were still talking and I just asked-
-?has someone in the of?ce touched you?? and ?stopped talking and it
was silent for about 3 seconds and then I said ?well that would be a yes". Then I said to

?did Ed touch you inappropriately?. ?never said yes or no to my
question, but said to me ?please don?t say anything to anyone, but Ed has said and done
things that have been inappropriate while I have stayed late working overtime in my
of?ce." I said won?t say anything, but this is not right?. I asked her ?speci?cally what
has he done to you inappropriately?" Then ?walked toward the front door of
the car and ?said to me, ?Please don?t tell -. I said won?t?.

?got back into the driver?s seat and started the car. The conversation then
turned to which freeway was the closest to get on to get to the of?ce faster and then what
plans each of us had for the upcoming weekend.

When we got back to the of?ce it was around 2:05 she was going to
go the restroom. I said to ??hey can I talk in ou in my of?ce for a second?.
?said ?sure?. So we went into my of?ce, *sat in the chair in front
of my desk and I closed the door to my of?ce.

I said what is going on? This is unacceptable?. ?said know, I
know?. I said so what is going on?" ?said to me that, on a few occasions when
she has worked late in her of?ce, Ed has come by and has made comments about her
sexually". She said on one occasion he has said to her ?boy what I wouldn't do to have a
tall -. She said she has told him on those occasions that ?she didn?t like what he was
saying and appreciated it if he would leave her alone.?

She said on one occasion, he came in to her of?ce and placed a yellow legal pad that had
writing on it on her desk while she was sitting down and said to her ?read this?.
