SUMMARY OF EVENTS:
On February 25, 2019 at approximately 2:58pm, Chief Jason Malloy
contacted me regarding an adult female in their office who is
reporting being raped by a police officer of Lincoln County. I was
told the allegations were against Bobby (Robert) Bomar, a Lincoln
City Police Sergeant. I was also advised the incident occurred in
Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, on December 17, 2016 when Mr.
Bomar was off-duty. I contacted OSP Sergeant Steve Hinkle and OSP
Lieutenant Matt Lawson and advised of the allegation. I was
advised to proceed with the investigation and OSP Detective Carlos
Barrientos would be assisting.
ACTION TAKEN:
On Monday, February 25, 2019 at approximately 2:58pm, I received a
telephone call and a text message from Chief Jason Malloy regarding
an adult female in their office who is reporting being raped by a
police officer of Lincoln County. Chief Malloy advised the police
officer mentioned was not a Newport Police Officer and asked if I
could take over the report. I responded to the Newport Police
Department at approximately 3:25pm and met the adult female.
Officer Humphreys introduced me to Camille Etheridge and he advised
we could use the NPD conference room to talk.
The following is a summary of what Ms. Etheridge reported to me.
The summary does not contain all of the comments made during the
interview, nor does it necessarily reflect the chronology of the
discussion. For a verbatim account of the interview, refer to the
audio recording of the interview in its entirety. After the
interview, I transferred a copy of the recording to a CD and entered
it into evidence under exhibit CJU/E-1. Ms. Etheridge told me she
was with her boyfriend at the time, Bobby Bomar and they had been
dating for about three months. She said they first started going
out in September 2016. I asked how they met and she said just
seeing each other around town. Ms. Etheridge told me she worked for
the Mental Health office in Lincoln City and had met him through
there. She told me she asked him out for a cup of coffee and it
went on from there. She said they had dated for about three months
when they decided to go to Portland for the night. She told me
that's when it happened and after that they didn't see each other
anymore.
She told me on December 17th, 2016, she and Bobby arrived in
Portland and checked in to the Marriott Hotel in the downtown area.
She told me she doesn't remember which Marriott it was. Bobby drove
his Toyota pick-up. Ms. Etheridge told me during this time, Bobby
was living with a gal named Selina. Bobby told Ms. Etheridge they
used to date, but were no longer romantically involved and he just
lives with her until he can find a place on his own. Ms. Etheridge
said she remembers Bobby telling her this while in Portland. He
also said he had to tell Selina he was going to Portland to stay
with his sister. Ms. Etheridge thought that was weird lying to
Selina if there wasn't anything going on (romantically) with them.
Ms. Etheridge knew one of his sisters did in fact live in Portland.
Once at the hotel, they unpacked and watched some television before
going out. They had walked around a bit and got something small to
eat. Ms. Etheridge said they went back to the hotel and left again
to go get a drink and eat dinner. She told me the last thing she
remembers that evening was them walking to a restaurant/bar called
'The Independent' at approximately 7:00pm. She said it was within
walking distance from the hotel, but wasn't too long of a walk. I
asked her how she knew what time it was, and she told me she thinks
she texted her son and saw the time when she texted him. She
ordered one of her favorite drinks, a midori sour, and drank a
couple sips then went to go to the bathroom or get some water. When
she returned back to where they were sitting, she finished her
drink. Not long after finishing her drink, she began feeling very
hot and nauseous. She told me she began sweating and felt like she
was going to vomit. Ms. Etheridge thinks she even told Bobby she
feels like she is going to throw up and she remembers Bobby telling
her "I hope you're okay". She told me that was the last thing she
remembers. She told me she doesn't even remember leaving the
restaurant. Ms. Etheridge told me she couldn't tell me if she
walked back to the hotel or if Bobby carried her or what. She told
me she doesn't remember anything until waking up to Bobby's penis
inside of her anus. She then told me she had never had anal sex
with anybody and it hurt. She told me she never gave the indication
of wanting anal sex with Bobby. She told me she would never agree
to having anal sex. She told me she thinks it's disgusting and she
doesn't know where Bobby got the idea that it would be okay. Ms.
Etheridge told me she is not a heavy drinker and just drinks
socially on occasion. She also told me she has consumed one or two
alcoholic beverages before and never became drunk or loopy enough to
where she doesn't remember her actions. Ms. Etheridge said she
takes medication and it has never affected her in a way, while
drinking an alcoholic beverage, where it had made her black out.
I asked Ms. Etheridge about their previous sexual activity with each
other. She said they had been sexually active before their trip to
Portland. I asked if they had sex right away after dating and she
told me it was about a month or so before they had sex. I asked if
she thought their sexual relationship was good and she said "Yes".
I asked if their sex life was pretty traditional or if there were
other ways they had sex. She told me it was pretty typical, no
bondage or anything crazy like that. I asked if anything disturbed
her or made her concerned about being with Bobby intimately and she
told me nothing had raised a red flag with Bobby. She told me even
when she has tried to ask Bobby about what he did to her in
Portland, "...He has never been a jerk or anything, but his whole
thing right here was enough to make him a bad person in my eyes".
Ms. Etheridge continued explaining that when she came to, she was
naked on the hotel bed with her face on the pillow and Bobby's penis
was inside of her anus. She was on her stomach and felt Bobby's
hand between her shoulder blades, holding her against the bed. She
said it took a few moments to figure out what was going on and she
said she was just "blown away". I asked how long he stayed inside
of her when she came to and she said she thinks he was finishing up
because she could tell he ejaculated inside of her. She estimated
the time she felt him inside of her was probably around 30-40
seconds. She told me she had no idea how long he had been doing it
before she came to. I asked if it was painful and she said it was.
I asked if she remember him saying anything and she said she doesn't
remember. I asked her if she said anything to Bobby and she told me
she doesn't remember saying anything to him, but thinks she was
moaning in pain. She told me he pulled out of her anus and laid
down on the bed with his back to her. She slowly go up and turned
around and sat down on her butt and that's when she noticed that
there was blood on the other side of the bed. Ms. Etheridge said it
looked dryish and that made her think how long he had been doing
this to her. She told me she didn't remember any of it. She
noticed there was blood underneath her where she had been sitting on
the bed. She told me she covered herself up, laid back down with
her back to Bobby and cried til she fell asleep. I asked Ms.
Etheridge if lights were on in the room and she said it wasn't pitch
dark, but it was somewhat lit by indirect lighting. She didn't know
from where. She also said she looked at the digital clock and
thought she saw it displayed the time, 1:30am.
She told me when she arrived back home the following day, she was
still shocked and confused about what he did to her. She thought
she should report what happened to the police, but changed her mind.
She told me, "I was afraid to report it because I didn't think
anybody would believe me because it's me against a cop". She
continued saying she also didn't want the Lincoln City police to
mess with her son at her expense. She told me her son, Ian, works
for the funeral home and police officers see him regularly when he
picks up dead bodies. All she could think of was Bobby hauling Ian
off out in the woods and being shot, or harassing him by pulling him
over all the time, giving him tickets that he can't afford, "so I
just left it alone". She then said, she is embarrassed and
humiliated, "But now I'm pissed". She told me no one should be able
to get away with what he did to her.
I asked Ms. Etheridge to explain in more detail about the next
morning, when they woke up. She told me she is till foggy about the
next day, but remembers some things. She said Bobby barely spoke to
her at all, and thinks he went right in to the bathroom to take a
shower. During the drive home, she remembers him asking, "How's
your butt?" She couldn't believe he asked her that and she told
him, "It hurts really bad". She thinks the drive home was quiet
because she doesn't remember a lot of talking. When Bobby drove up
to her apartment, he just dropped her off. She said he didn't walk
her up to her door, give her a hug or a kiss. She said that was
very unusual because he was normally very affectionate. The
following three days, she told me they didn't speak to each other at
all. She said they went from calling and texting each other
multiple times a day, to nothing. Ms. Etheridge said she remembers
during this time, she saw him in his patrol car as she was pulling
into the Safeway parking lot. He waved at her and kept driving.
She thought he would reach out to her at that time, but he didn't.
She thinks she sent him a text that day asking him what 's going on
and he responded saying he has been busy. She remembers him coming
over to her apartment on his lunch break during that same week and
they spoke in her kitchen for a couple minutes. Ms. Etheridge said
she was unsure of how to act in front of him and didn't know how to
feel or what to say. She had loved Bobby and then was confused
about what he had done to her. After Bobby left, she texted him and
told him she didn't want to see him anymore and she just left it at
that. She told me she didn't explain to him why. He just said
something like, 'Okay, I understand'. She said it was probably
before Christmas when she broke up with him. She told me she feels
him distancing himself from her made no sense. She told me before
Portland, they talked on the phone, visited in person and texted
each other every day. They would often get up early before work and
meet at Starbucks and sit in his truck and just talk. So his
avoidance of her, she said, was very different from his usual
behavior. She told me she feels he was doing this because he knows
he did something wrong to her.
Ms. Etheridge told me she reached out to her psychologist, Dr. Fran
Ferder, on March 21, 2017, advising she really needed to speak with
her. Dr. Ferder is a licensed Therapist who previously had an
office in Gleneden Beach, Oregon. She has since moved her practice
to Salem, Oregon. I asked Ms. Etheridge how long she had seen Dr.
Ferder and she told me about three years. From a brief email to Dr.
Ferder, Ms. Etheridge explained what happened and how little she
remembers. Ms. Etheridge told me Dr. Ferder urged her to report the
incident to police, but Ms. Etheridge told her she was too scared to
go forward with a report. Ms. Etheridge told me Dr. Ferder offered
the services of her brother who is a Private Investigator. She told
Ms. Etheridge he could look into it 'under the radar', but Ms.
Etheridge figured somehow police would be notified and it would get
back to Bobby. Ms. Etheridge continued seeing Dr. Ferder until she
was unable to afford the sessions in December of 2017. During the
therapy sessions, Ms. Etheridge told Dr. Ferder she was still having
painful issues with her rectum and Dr. Ferder recommended her to
make an appointment with a medical doctor to make sure she was
physically okay.
On June 28, 2017 and October 10, 2017, Ms. Etheridge also saw Dr.
Jennifer Hamilton in Corvallis, Oregon. Dr. Hamilton is also a
licensed Therapist and had been seeing Ms. Etheridge before the
incident occurred in December 2016. Ms. Etheridge reported the
sexual assault to Dr. Hamilton.
I asked Ms. Etheridge to explain her physical symptoms after being
penetrated anally. She said besides the random bleeding from her
rectum, she also experienced minor fecal incontinence and lower
abdominal pain. She told me her incontinence wasn't severe like
"horrible explosive", it was more leaking that she couldn't control.
She told me she had to wear adult diapers because it would happen
at random times. During the months of April and May 2017, Ms.
Etheridge consulted medical professionals regarding her signs and
symptoms. Dr. Myra Thompson, of Adventist Health Medical Group in
Lincoln City, performed routine gynelogical testing on Ms.
Etheridge. On April 4, 2017, Dr. Thompson discovered Ms. Etheridge
had contracted a sexually transmitted disease, specifically the
human papilloma virus (HPV). Due to the several strains of HPV, Ms.
Etheridge continued to seek gynelogical testing for updated
information. Upon subsequent cervical Papanicolaou (pap) smear
testing, the HPV contracted by the STD is still resulting positive
results through her cell tests and her lab work is coming back as an
abnormal pap. Ms. Etheridge advised she hadn't had sex with anyone
for three years until dating Bobby. The pap smears during that time
were normal. I asked her if she has had sex with anybody besides
Bobby during her relationship with Bobby and she told me "No". I
asked her if she had anal sex with anybody else, and she told me
"No". I asked if she ever had anal sex in her lifetime and she told
me "Absolutely not". I asked Ms. Etheridge if she has had sex with
anyone since dating Bobby and she told me "No". Dr. Thompson
referred her to Dr. Arun Ramon, of Samaritan Health Services in
Lincoln City, due to the rectal incontinence and bleeding. Dr.
Raman conducted a colonoscopy and discovered rectal tearing
contributing from sexual trauma/penetration. I asked Ms. Etheridge
why she waited to see the doctor for her rectal problems and she
told me she basically was embarrassed and figured the pain would go
away on its own. She told me she didn't want the doctor to think
she was 'that way'. The pain and incontinence were not healing, and
both her therapist and her gynecologist advised to see a
professional. Dr. Thompson recommended Dr. Arun Ramon. Once the
tears were discovered being associated with a sexual assault, she
asked the doctor’s office if they had to report it and she was told
they weren't obligated to report it unless either participant was
under 18. I asked Ms. Etheridge what Dr. Ramon did for her
treatment and she told me there wasn't much he could do because it
was slowly healing on its own. She told me he gave her "Kegel" type
exercises to strengthen her muscles. Around July 2017, Ms.
Etheridge was also seen for kidney stones. She told me she had
kidney stones in the past and saw Dr. Rosencrantz, of Oregon Urology
Clinic. The stones were removed and she had no prolonged effects
from the procedure.
I asked Ms. Etheridge how she feels today, and she told me
physically she is fine.
Ms. Etheridge told me a couple months had passed when she received a
voice message from Bobby on her cell phone. She thinks it was in
mid April, 2017. She was at work and didn't answer her cell phone.
Bobby had left a long voice message, probably 5-7 minutes, telling
her how sorry he was. She quoted him saying, "I'm so sorry for what
I did". Ms. Etheridge told me Bobby did not elaborate what he did
to her, just that he was sorry for it. She told me she was annoyed
at him calling to say sorry and deleted the voice message. She
later wished she hadn't deleted the message. She continued saying
she had been hesitant to turn him in because she had no proof, and
realizes now that the voice message would've been useful. She
thought to herself, without proof and reporting what he did to her,
she figured she was just putting a 'target on her back'.
During the interview, Ms. Etheridge told me she brought some
documents of a conversation she had with Bobby regarding what
happened in Portland. She said she initiated contact via Facebook
Messenger in January of this year. She gave them to me to read.
She explained that she had taken screen shots from 'Facebook
Messenger' of a conversation she had with Mr. Bomar on January 21,
2019. She told me she couldn't stop thinking about what happened in
Portland and wanted answers. She said she took photographs (screen
shots) of the conversation because she was telling him how she felt.
How she felt raped by him when they were in Portland. His response
was odd to her and she kept the conversation on her computer. At
one point during the conversation, Ms. Etheridge wrote, "I am not
sure what you were thinking that night. Regular sex would have been
ok, but not what you did. Regardless of what your intent was, I
felt like I had been raped and by someone who said that he wanted to
protect me and take care of me". In the same paragraph, Ms.
Etheridge wrote, "I just wanted you to know that what you did has
nearly broken me". She also informed him of contracting the STD.
Mr. Bomar responded by blaming it on his former girlfriend and
saying it (the STD) has been on his mind. He also wrote, "I am
beyond ashamed and sorry. I feel like a total piece of shit right
now". Mr. Bomar did not comment on Ms. Etheridge feeling like she
had been raped. Ms. Etheridge responded to his comment and said, "I
was there because I wanted to have some time away from town with
someone that I loved and wanted to spend time with. I should not
have ended up having to be seen by a surgeon for something that I
didn't even agree to do. I wasn't even given a choice. Had you
been decent enough to wait until I had my wits about me, I would
have said no". Mr. Bomar responded by saying, "I don't know how to
respond to that, but I understand completely what your saying. And
I will say this again, I never meant to hurt you like this. That is
sincere". He also asked her if he could meet with her in person for
coffee to talk and she asked, "What did you want to talk about?" He
responded saying, "Just about how things were miscommunicated. I
feel if I don't explain things we will be left back in the unknown.
I'm not good at typing my feelings." He continued saying, "What
you think of me is important. I swear on my life I never ever
wanted to hurt you. And you feeling pain from this really hits me
hard." Ms. Etheridge said she did not feel comfortable with seeing
him in person because she still had feelings for Bobby and told him
seeing him in person would not happen. Ms. Etheridge told me there
was more to the conversation that day. She told me there were some
comments about him losing his brother and brother-in-law, being at
training, traveling back in the snow and some local news. She took
screen shots of the entire conversation and gave me a copy of all
the screen shots. Ms. Etheridge told me later that she did not know
his brother had died. (Please refer to the Facebook Messenger
conversation attached to this report). She also had documents of
her doctor’s visit in April 2017.
Towards the end of the interview. Ms. Etheridge told me she was
moving away from Lincoln City on Thursday and her son is moving with
her. She told me she felt better about coming forward to police in
Newport knowing she isn't in the same city as Mr. Bomar. She
appeared very nervous and asked if Bobby will find out before she
has a chance to move to Newport. I told her I couldn't promise her
that he won't know about the allegation before Thursday. I asked
her if she was willing to call Mr. Bomar and ask him about the night
in Portland. She said she would be willing to make the call. We
spoke about meeting within the next day or two and she said that
would be fine. She again reminded me she was moving, but would be
available.
At 4:30pm, the interview ended and I told Ms. Etheridge I would be
in touch with her. I gave her my business card and told her to call
me anytime if she had any questions or concerns. She told me she is
just concerned about Bobby finding out and harassing her. I told
her if anyone tries to contact her, to call me or have them call me.
After the interview, I contacted Sergeant Steve Hinkle and advised
of the allegation. Sgt. Hinkle advised the Lieutenant and Captain
of the criminal division and made the appropriate notifications.

SUMMARY OF EVENTS:
On February 25, 2019 at approximately 2:58pm, Chief Jason Malloy
contacted me regarding an adult female in their office who is
reporting being raped by a police officer of Lincoln County. I was
told the allegations were against Bobby (Robert) Bomar, a Lincoln
City Police Sergeant. I was also advised the incident occurred in
Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, on December 17, 2016 when Mr.
Bomar was off-duty. I contacted OSP Sergeant Steve Hinkle and OSP
Lieutenant Matt Lawson and advised of the allegation. I was
advised to proceed with the investigation and OSP Detective Carlos
Barrientos would be assisting.
ACTION TAKEN:
Upon obtaining statements from Ms. Etheridge regarding the sexual
assault in Portland and the events that took place afterwards, I
asked Ms. Etheridge if she would be willing to call Mr. Bomar and
having him talk about the incident. She agreed and met myself and
Detective Carlos Barrientos at the Oregon State Police office in
Newport, Lincoln County, Oregon. I explained how the phone
conversation worked and how it was going to be recorded. She seemed
nervous and anxious and asked appropriate questions. I told her
Detective Barrientos and I would be in the room with her and if she
felt uncomfortable or too stressed, to just tell him she needed to
go and hang up the phone. I told her we would not be able to hear
what Mr. Bomar was saying, only what she was saying. She understood
and agreed to call him on her cell phone.
At approximately 2:20pm, Ms. Etheridge dialed Mr. Bomar's personal
cell phone number. She said this has been his phone
number since she has known him. I started the recording. The
following is a summary of the conversation between Ms. Etheridge and
Mr. Bomar. The summary does not contain all of the comments made
during the phone call, nor does it necessarily reflect the
chronology of the discussion. For a verbatim account of the phone
call, refer to the audio recording of the phone call in its
entirety. After the phone call, I transferred a copy of the
recording to a CD and entered it into evidence under exhibit
CJU/E-2.
After three rings, a man answered the phone. Ms. Etheridge asked if
it was Bobby and he said "Yeah". She told him it was Camille and he
asked how she was. She said "All right" and told him how she is
trying to let this go, but needed to ask him what happened that
night. He told her that is why he wanted to meet with her for
coffee. She told Bobby she couldn't meet him because she was afraid
to be around him. Ms. Etheridge became emotional and began crying.
She told Bobby she doesn't know what else to do. He told her not to
be that way. He said, "I don't need you to be afraid of me. Please
Camille, don't, don't be afraid of me". Ms. Etheridge told him
that she needed to tell him what happened. Mr. Bomar said "Okay,
let me go to a different area". Mr. Bomar then said "...I've been
just, I've been tore up over this ever since you reached out to me a
month ago. I, it was just, living with this". Ms. Etheridge
interrupted him and said she has been living with this for a year
and a half and "I guarantee it's been worse for me". Mr. Bomar
said, "I had no idea that you were hurt this way. I swear to you, I
feel beyond. I'm not, I'm not that person. I, you meant the world
to me". Ms. Etheridge told him she wanted to know what happened.
Mr. Bomar proceeded to say, "Well, see, that's where... we got
there." Ms. Etheridge interrupted and said "Got where?". He told
her Portland. She told him she remembers sitting at the bar and
nothing after that. Mr. Bomar responded saying, "But, see, we were
intimate before the bar". Ms. Etheridge said, "What?". He told
her, "We were intimate before we went out for drinks, that's why I
don't understand..." She confirmed with him asking, "We had anal
sex before going to the bar?". Mr. Bomar said he would never take
advantage of her in any way. She then said "Did you hear me? We
had anal sex before we went to the bar?" Mr. Bomar responded by
saying, "We had, before we went to the bar". Ms. Etheridge said,
"There's no way". When Ms. Etheridge told him she was blacked out
for hours Mr. Bomar responded by saying he didn't understand that.
She told him when she came to, he was in her butt. Then she asked
if she did something to make him mad. He told her she's never made
him mad. Then he said "I was so confused over everything that
happened beyond after that. I had no idea." Ms. Etheridge told him
she knows they didn't do it before because the last thing she
remembers is being at the bar, then waking up to him "screwing me in
the ass". She then added, "...then the next morning you had the
fucking nerve to ask me how my butt was". Then said, "What the hell
is wrong with you?" Mr. Bomar said, "Camille, Camille please, there
was no way that was how it was". Ms. Etheridge said, "I would never
ever had agreed to do that". "And you didn't ask me, did we even
discuss it?" Mr. Bomar said, "Camille, I was, when we were, when we
were, when we were having intercourse, I was talking to you". She
told him she was blacked out so how could he have been speaking with
her. Mr. Bomar told her he had no idea. Ms. Etheridge asked him
how he could not know. He told her, "I did not know. I would
never, I would never do that to a human being, uh, ever in my life
I've never abused a person". Ms. Etheridge told him they didn't do
anything before going to the bar because they weren't at the hotel
very long. Mr. Bomar said, "We got there, yeah, it's, I mean, it,
it's been a couple of years ago. I just, I'm trying, I've been
,I've been putting this all through my head for about a, over a
month now trying to work this out". Mr. Bomar said, "I swear to
you, I swear, Camille, I never, ever, ever wanted to violate or hurt
you. I promise you". Ms. Etheridge responded by saying, "Well, you
did".
As Ms. Etheridge was saying she was blacked out, Mr. Bomar kept
saying he didn't know. He told her she didn't have that much to
drink and he hardly drank anything either. He said, "I had, well, I
mean, I remember it was cold out, and I remember getting up and we
talked and we went and had coffee. And then it, I, I remember going
to Starbucks. I thought, I thought everything was fine". Ms.
Etheridge told him she doesn't remember any of that and began crying
again. Mr. Bomar told her he doesn't know why she doesn't remember
anything. He told her he thought "everything was great". He told
her they went to Starbucks, they got coffee, they drove and talked
all the way back. Ms. Etheridge said "No we didn't". She said he
hardly spoke to her on the way home, dropped her off and then didn't
have anything to do with her for a week. Ms. Etheridge told him she
thinks it's because "you knew you fucked up". Mr. Bomar replied
saying, "No, that is not it. That is so not it. I, I, I'm telling
you right now, this, this is not how this is. I swear to you. I
swear to you...please, I'm not, I'm not the guy you think I am, I'm
not that person". She told him not in a million years would she
have agreed to have anal sex. She said she thinks it's disgusting
and it was very painful. Mr. Bomar told her he doesn't know where
this is coming from. She asked him then why did he call several
months later saying how sorry he was over and over again. Mr. Bomar
told her, "I called you to say I'm sorry for us. I had no idea. I
was calling to say I was sorry that things went the way they went.
I was sorry that, that, that we broke up. I was, I was so, uh, I
mean, literally. I mean, I talked to you about everything. I, I, I
was, I was, I was so surprised and set back by what happened between
us".
Ms. Etheridge again asked Mr. Bomar, "At what point did I willingly
agree to have anal sex? Because I don't remember even being asked.
I don't remember having any kind of conversation like that. I don't
remember anything after we left the bar". Mr. Bomar responded
saying, "I don't know what to say to that". He told her, "I, I am
just as in the dark of this as you are when it comes to this. I'm
trying to put it together and I had no idea that you felt this way".
"I don't like you being upset, and I don't want to feel, I want to
figure out a way to work with you to make you, to , to help you
through dealing with this, 'cause we're both, now we're both in
this. I feel horrible". Ms. Etheridge asked, "Whose, whose big
bright idea was it for us to have anal sex?" There was a
substantial pause and Mr. Bomar said, "I, I just don't even know
what to say to that. I don't". Ms. Etheridge said, "So, then I
could say it probably was not my idea then? That's what I'm
hearing". Mr. Bomar said, "I don't know what to say. We were, we
were everything, I, I, I would never do something like that to you".
Mr. Bomar told her he would never do anything to violate her. He
said he would never force himself on her. He also told her there
were no indications of her being blacked out. He told her, "I would
never touch you if you were blacked out". He said they were
intimate with each other and he thought everything was going good.
He said, "I had no idea this was a problem". He told her he feels
extremely horrible for this and he will feel this for the rest of
his life. Ms. Etheridge said, "Good, you need to". Mr. Bomar
replied, "but that's, that's something I'll, I will wear like a
coat, but, but I, it, It's because I feel that, I, that you’re
feeling this way, in feeling the stuff that you feel, uh, I, I,
'cause I don't, uh, I, I, I just would never do this to a human
being". Ms. Etheridge asked him if he's implying she's losing her
mind and he said "No, not at all". He told her he's not saying
that. Ms. Etheridge again asked Mr. Bomar, "tell me what the hell
happened, because I don't remember anything". He told her, "We went
to the bar, we had drinks, we weren't there for very long...we went
back to the Motel". Then he said he was under the impression that
they were intimate before they went out. She told him, "No, we
weren't, and I never, ever would have agreed to have anal sex if I
was in my right mind. There is no way". He told Ms. Etheridge he
was sorry she feels this way and she told him that doesn't do her
any good. She said he needs to be sorry for what he did. Mr. Bomar
replied saying, "I am truly sorry for that happening. Yes, yes, I
am 100 percent truly sorry for that happening. I had no idea that
it was gonna do this".
When Ms. Etheridge spoke about their break-up, Mr. Bomar said he
thought she didn't want him anymore. He said that's how he felt.
He said he never ignored her. She said that was not true. He then
told her after they got back from Portland, he had to go to
California because his brother "got the death sentence". He said,
"literally after we got back". Ms. Etheridge said she didn't hear
anything about that. He told her he had to go to California. She
asked him why he never told her about that. She told him, "After
Portland you just left the state and didn't bother to let me know
that". Mr. Bomar said he reached out to her, but she didn't want to
see him anymore. She said he ignored her for almost a week before
reaching out to her. She said when she came to the realization that
he hurt her, she didn't want to see him anymore. She told him,
"After being ignored and basically raped in the ass, of course I
didn't want anything to do with you". Mr. Bomar said, "I did not
rape you...I've never raped a human being in my life". Mr. Bomar
said, "And if you were blacked out, it was to, uh, I, I, I get that.
I get that that that's how you feel. I totally get that". Ms.
Etheridge told him that's not how she feels, that's what happened.
He told her he doesn't understand where the blackout came in. I
said, "I don't understand where any of this came in, because there
was, there was, I mean it was, it, oh my gosh, there are just, I
mean, I, I don't know what else to say. I don't, because this is
not what it, what it seems to be. I swear, and you're not, I don't
understand where any of this come came from. Where the blackout
came from". Mr. Bomar said, "...it doesn't make sense, because we
conversed, we talked, we laid there". Ms. Etheridge said she
doesn't remember any of that. She began telling Mr. Bomar about her
symptoms at the table at the restaurant and he asked her if she was
implying that he put something in her drink. He said, "Well, I'll
take a polygraph. I'll take a polygraph if I have to". He said he
would never do that to her. He told her, "And I don't know what
else I can say. I don't, I, I never would do this to you. I, I
really would never put something in your drink. I would never drug
you. I've, I've, that's I, I don't even get that. I don't even
know how that even came about and I don't know what to say because
there was nothing, I mean". He continued saying, "I wanna be able
to work through this with you and try to work through this together.
I really really do because I don't want anything bad happening
here. I don't want you, when you talk about hurting yourself, I
don't, that makes me sick to my stomach". Ms. Etheridge asked Mr.
Bomar, "Who took my clothes off?" He responded saying, "I don't
know, we were in bed, I mean it was , we had an intimate evening
and I didn't know it was like this".
During this part of the conversation, there were several long pauses
in Mr. Bomar's responses. Ms. Etheridge asked him if he was still
there a couple times. Mr. Bomar said he was still there, then said,
"I'm just workin this through my head right now. I'm tryin' to work
this through so to, to come up with some kind of answers and stuff
and I'm replaying it over, goin' and goin' I, I had no, there were
no indications of blackin' out. There was, we had a good morning
the next morning...I remember going to Starbucks". She asked again
if there were discussion about having anal sex. Mr. Bomar said he
remembers asking Camille, "Is this okay?" Mr. Bomar then said
Camille told him, "Be careful. I just remember bits and pieces of
stuff like that and, you know, it was 2 years ago, over 2 years
ago...". Ms. Etheridge told him, "There is no way in hell I would
ever agree to do that". Mr. Bomar told Ms. Etheridge that he
wished she would have spoken to him about this a long time ago so we
could work this out instead of wait 2 years later.
The conversation led to when Mr. Bomar had to go to his brother in
California because he was dying of cancer. He again told Ms.
Etheridge that it was right after they got back from Portland. Ms.
Etheridge reiterated that he did not even communicate that with her.
She said, "...since you love me so much and we were so close that
you wouldn't reach out to your girlfriend for some support but you
didn't". There was another long pause from Mr. Bomar. Ms.
Etheridge asked if he was still there and he said, "Still here, I'm
I, I don't know what to say to you about that".
Mr. Bomar told Ms. Etheridge, "I just wish I knew how we could work
through this". Ms. Etheridge said she was trying to work through
this by calling him, but doesn't feel he is being honest with her.
Mr. Bomar said, "I am being, I'm being totally transparent and
honest with you through this whole thing right now. I am and that's
but you, you just, you don't, you don't believe me".
Ms. Etheridge asked Mr. Bomar, "Who initiated the sex?" Mr. Bomar
said they were talking. He continued saying, "We were both intimate
and we were having intercourse and things were goin' great. We were
doin' what we would, what we done and things were goin' great
between us. We everything was really good. It was nice. We were,
we were havin' our, our moment and when other things started, you
were okay with it. I asked is this okay? And you were, you said
just be careful. Everything was fine. I had no idea that it was,
that you were blacked out". Ms. Etheridge said, "That is absolutely
fucking absurd". She told him that he was just making him mad now.
She told him this isn't helping. Mr. Bomar told her he never meant
to hurt her. He said, "...I understand how you feel. What would, I
mean , I'm not gonna sit here and lie to you and try to hide stuff.
I'm try, I'm, I'm bein', I'm bein very honest with you about this
and I'm , I'm trying to so hard try to work through this and I want
to work through this with you. I, I, would like nothin' more. I,
I, I worry about anything with you, worry about anything happening
to you. You, when you talk about, you know, hurting yourself,
that... that sucks". Ms. Etheridge interrupted him saying, "You are
the one that hurt me the worst so you don't have to worry about any,
anything else happening to me. You've done plenty".
Mr. Bomar told her how she feels about him really matters to him.
She told him that he knows now. So she said goodbye to him and
after he said goodbye, she hung up the phone.
At 3:06pm, I turned off the digital audio recorder.

REFER:
Medical records from: Dr. Myra Thompson, Dr. Arun Raman, Dr. Fern
Ferder and Dr. Jennifer Hamilton
SUMMARY OF EVENTS:
On February 25, 2019 at approximately 2:58pm, Chief Jason Malloy
contacted me regarding an adult female in their office who is
reporting being anally raped by a police officer of Lincoln County.
I was told the allegations were against Bobby (Robert) Bomar, a
Lincoln City Police Sergeant. I was also advised the incident
occurred in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, on December 17, 2016
when Mr. Bomar was off-duty. I contacted OSP Sergeant Steve Hinkle
and OSP Lieutenant Matt Lawson and advised of the allegation. I
was advised to proceed with the investigation and OSP Detective
Carlos Barrientos would be assisting.
ACTION TAKEN:
On Thursday, March 7, 2019, Camille Etheridge consented and signed
'release of information' forms from the following doctor's offices;
Adventist Health Bayshore (Dr. Myra Thompson), Samaritan Health
Services (Dr. Arun Raman), Catalyst Psychiatry (Dr. Jennifer
Hamilton), and TARA Oregon Therapy & Renewal Associates (Dr. Fran
Ferder). The following information is a summary of what was
disclosed within the documents sent to me either by US Postal
service, fax and/or email. Please refer to the complete transcripts
and medical records submitted into evidence at the Oregon State
Police Newport office.
On March 5, 2019, I contacted Dr. Fran Ferder , a clinical
psychologist who has known and counseled Ms. Etheridge for
approximately 3 years. Ms. Etheridge called Dr. Ferder and gave her
consent for me to speak with Dr. Ferder. Dr. Ferder also provided
me with correspondence emails between her and Ms. Etheridge. Upon
initial telephone contact with Dr. Ferder, she told me she is glad
Ms. Etheridge is finally coming forward and reporting this to
police, she must feel safe now. Dr. Ferder told me it is common for
a victim of sex abuse not to report right away, if ever. Dr. Ferder
added that she remembers Ms. Etheridge being adamant about not
reporting the abuse to police because she was scared about
retaliation. Not to herself necessarily, but to her son who also
lived in Lincoln City. Dr. Ferder told me Ms. Etheridge is 'as
honest as the day is long' and is a 'survivor'. I asked when Dr.
Ferder had knowledge about what Ms. Etheridge is alleging. Dr.
Ferder told me she remembers getting an email from Ms. Etheridge
asking to speak with Dr. Ferder. Dr. Ferder sent me the email and
it is dated March 21, 2017 at 1:56pm. In the email, Ms. Etheridge
writes:
"The super fantastic police officer that I was seeing and I went up
to Portland about 2 months ago for the night. We went out for a
drink. I had only 2 mixed drinks. The last thing that I remember
was taking a sip of my second drink and then when I "came to", it
was about 3 hours later and I was completely naked and he was
holding me down by the back of my neck and was sodomizing me. I
have been in shock and in somewhat of a daze over it since. I
stopped talking to him when we got back. I am not sure if that
constitutes rape, but it sure feels like it... not to mention it
being extremely physically painful. Even if it could be considered
a rape, he is a cop and a highly regarded one at that, so there is
no reason to make an enemy of him. I think that he would try to get
me back by bothering Ian, not me directly. I will just consider it
a lesson learned. I would like to get back into a regular routine
with therapy".
Ms. Etheridge met with Dr. Ferder the following day. Dr. Ferder
remembered Ms. Etheridge clearly being terrified going to police
thinking that Bobby would then go after her son, Ian. Dr. Ferder
told me she has a brother who is a private investigator, Robert
Ferder. She offered Ms. Etheridge his services, that he could
possibly see if there is any video surveillance at the restaurant or
hotel they had stayed at. Dr. Ferder told me Ms. Etheridge appeared
to have thought about it, but told her 'no' a couple days later.
Dr. Ferder told me Ms. Etheridge said it would most likely get back
to police and Bobby would find out. Ms. Etheridge continued to see
Dr. Ferder until her insurance coverage 'ran out' and she was unable
to pay for the sessions.
On March 7, 2019, I received medical records from Dr. Jennifer
Hamilton of 'Catalyst Psychiatry' in Corvallis, Benton County,
Oregon. Ms. Etheridge signed a 'release of records' form to allow
me to review her medical records with Dr. Hamilton. Ms. Etheridge
had seen Dr. Jennifer Hamilton for medication management for her
Bipolar disorder, OCD and PTSD since April 2016. On June 28, 2017,
during a routine evaluation and maintenance of Ms. Etheridge's
previous diagnosis and medication, Ms. Etheridge disclosed to Dr.
Hamilton about the sexual assault in December. Dr. Hamilton
documented the disclosure in her notes and recommended Ms. Etheridge
to continue to see Fran Ferder for therapy. Dr. Hamilton also did
not adjust doses or add any medication due to the disclosure. Due
to Ms. Etheridge's fear in reporting the December incident to
police, Dr. Hamilton urged Ms. Etheridge to try to gain any
evidence, even though she doesn't want to pursue anything now. Dr.
Hamilton called the Oregon State Police to see if they would be the
ones to investigate such a situation and they said the Department of
Justice would be the ones. Her notes do not indicate who she spoke
with at the Oregon State Police. Several appointments later, Ms.
Etheridge discontinued seeing Dr. Hamilton because she could not
afford to maintain her sessions with Catalyst Psychiatry.
On April 4, 2017, Ms. Etheridge was seen by Dr. Myra Thompson at
Adventist Health in Lincoln City. Ms. Etheridge signed a 'release
of records' form to allow me to review her medical records with Dr.
Thompson. Ms. Etheridge scheduled a routine gynecological exam and
also disclosed to Dr. Thompson the sex abuse incident from December
2016. In the doctor's notes, Dr. Thompson wrote, "While on a date
in Portland she recalls taking a sip of her drink and then does not
recall anything else for hours - woke up being sodomized by the man
she was dating. She is refusing to press charges "He is a respected
person in the community and no one would believe me anyway" Patient
is in counseling and has good support there...She fears retaliation
from this person to herself and her son if she speaks up". Ms.
Etheridge reported rectal bleeding stating to Dr. Thompson, "now bad
enough that she thinks she has started her period. Some rectal
incontinence". Later during the appointment, Dr. Thompson wrote, "I
did advise her to report this abuse to the state police - not local
police - and she will consider this but does not feel safe doing so.
She was encouraged to continue with counseling...Permission given
to make Dr. Ramen aware of her abuse hx as he will be performing the
colonoscopy exam". The results of Ms. Etheridge's pap smear stated
a positive specimen for HR HPV infection. Ms. Etheridge has
continued to see Dr. Thompson for her gynecological exams subsequent
to April 4, 2017.
On May 24, 2017, Ms. Etheridge was referred to Dr. Arun Raman at
Samaritan Health Services in Lincoln City and underwent a rectal
exam under anesthesia (colonoscopy) with Dr. Raman. Ms. Etheridge
signed a 'release of records' form to allow me to review her medical
records with Dr. Raman. Patient admission information summarized
the appointment occurring on May 24, 2017. The appointment reason
was listed as 'hemorrhage of anus and rectum and incontinence of
feces'. Dr. Raman indicates in his notes before the exam, "We will
do an EUA (exam under anesthesia) and check for internal
hemorrhoids, and any evidence of anorectal trauma. It's been 5
months and this might be hard to assess". He also writes, "Due to
the nature of her trauma, I don't think a colonoscopy would be high
yield for a cause of bleeding - it's likely all from the anorectal
area". Upon speaking with Dr. Raman on March 20, 2019 by telephone,
he told me a colonoscopy examines three feet into the intestine; due
to the nature of her trauma, he would probably only need to look in
the rectum, which is 20 cm. After the exam, Dr. Raman wrote notes
pertaining to the procedure in detail. Dr. Raman wrote, 'A rectal
exam was performed and no abnormalities were noted', 'we noted small
low internal hemorrhoids in the left lateral and right anterior
positions', 'There was no active bleeding', 'There was a small 1mm
posterior mucosal tear but no significant fissures', 'No foreign
bodies were noted'. The disposition of the rectal exam was to
continue high fiber, reassess in 4-6 weeks, and if still has
concerns then might need colorectal surgery consultation.
Upon speaking with Dr. Raman, I asked about the exam and his
findings more specifically. He told me he remembers Ms. Etheridge
very vividly and remembers their conversation. He told me when Ms.
Etheridge came in to his office, she advised him her symptoms and
gave a brief statement as to how it occurred. He said she didn't go
into details, but did say she was sexually assaulted. Dr. Raman
asked if she reported it to police, if she felt safe. She said she
was safe, but had concerns about the person who did this to her and
didn't report it to police. Dr. Raman gave her some counseling
options, but they did not get into specifics about what happened.
Because the alleged trauma occurred five months prior, He told me
the procedure was not a sexual assault exam, and it was not his
intent to confirm a sexual assault. He said when patients report
rectal bleeding, they can be attributed to hemorrhoids and/or
fissures (a tiny little tear typically from constipation), usually
the patient is examined with a finger in the exam room. Dr. Raman
discussed this with Ms. Etheridge and she advised she would not be
comfortable with that and asked if the exam could be done by
anesthesia and Dr. Raman said absolutely that can be done. During
the colonoscopy exam, Dr. Raman noted small hemorrhoids and a tiny
fissure.
I asked Dr. Raman about the exam findings and his conclusions. I
told Dr. Raman I was reading the 'patient admission information'
page regarding the 'final diagnoses' from Ms. Etheridges's
colonoscopy and asked him how the sexual abuse had been confirmed.
Within this page the results are coded; K62.5 [Principal] Hemorrhage
of anus and rectum, R15.9 Full incontinence of feces, T74.21XS Adult
sexual abuse, confirmed, sequela, and K64.8 Other hemorrhoids. Dr.
Raman advised he did not note his findings of sexual abuse were
confirmed. He was unable to locate the page I was referring to but
informed me that the hospitals computer system only allows certain
categories for documentation and billing purposes. His coding for
diagnosis is different. He stated to me his medical findings were
labelled as such; 'Hemorrhage of rectum and anus [K62.5],
Incontinence of feces, unspecified fecal incontinence type [R15.9],
Sexual assault of adult, initial encounter [T74.21XA]'. I observed
this page he was referring and also noticed his information was
electronically signed by him. The 'patient admission information'
page was not. We both were aware of the discrepancy and he assured
me his notes were accurate as to what he documented after the
procedure. Dr. Raman told me there was no objective evidence of a
sexual assault five months later. Dr. Raman told me he did not find
any evidence to the complications of the alleged trauma, not to say
that it couldn't have happened. Dr. Raman explained the blood Ms.
Etheridge was experiencing could have been caused from an existing
hemorrhoid, which is just a blood vessel, that may have been
irritated by trauma or an assault. She may have never have known
she had hemorrhoids until the alleged assault occurred. Dr. Raman
told me he did not find any evidence to the complications to the
alleged trauma, not to say that it couldn't have happened.
I asked him how resilient the rectum is and if he could 'tell' if
someone had anal intercourse. Dr. Raman told me he would not be
able to tell if someone had anal sex. He continued saying the anal
sphincter muscle is extremely pliable. He said if these muscles
were relaxed and there was plenty of lubrication, something as big
as a fist could be inserted into this area and it would go back to
normal after being removed. He also told me if an exam was
performed right after anal sex, it could be possible to see friction
or if it was a violent assault. There is a lot of compliance with
that muscle, he said, and there is no guarantee he would be able to
see physical evidence immediately after penetration. Dr. Raman told
Ms. Etheridge at the end of the exam, if her symptoms continued, he
advised she can go forward with more invasive tests and he explained
the tests. Ms. Etheridge said she would contact him if the symptoms
continued. To Dr. Raman's knowledge, she had not contacted his
office since the exam on May 24, 2017.

Barrientos would be assisting.
ACTION TAKEN:
During the week of March 11, 2019, I was given information regarding
a former girlfriend of Bobby Bomar's who may have had a similar
experience with Mr. Bomar as Ms. Etheridge. On March 27, 2019, I
attempted to contact Sarah Sabri by telephone. Ms. Sabri had worked
in Lincoln County and had a serious relationship with Mr. Bomar
during 2006-2007. She said their relationship was not publicly
known due to their respective jobs. Ms. Sabri had been a Deputy
District Attorney and Mr. Bomar was employed at Lincoln City Police
Department. I had known Ms. Sabri professionally through the
Lincoln County District Attorney's office and I was told through
another law enforcement official about her relationship with Mr.
Bomar. At approximately 4:25pm, I received a call back from Ms.
Sabri. She remembered who I was and agreed to speak with me about
their relationship.
Ms. Sabri was very curious about the call and why I would be
interested in her relationship with Mr. Bomar. I advised Ms. Sabri
that I am investigating a female who has come forward alleging Mr.
Bomar sexual assaulted her while they were dating in 2016. I told
Ms. Sabri I had understood she had a serious relationship with Mr.
Bomar and may have observed or experienced odd behavior from Mr.
Bomar. Ms. Sabri did not hesitate saying she remembers Bobby not
being honest with her regarding his sexual activity while they were
dating. She dated Bobby from July 2006 until June 2007. Ms. Sabri
admits she was only 24 years old when they were dating and said she
was very naive. She told me now looking back on their relationship,
it was a toxic relationship for her and she would have broken up
with Bobby much earlier.
Early on she said Bobby acted like he was hiding things from her,
but then would try to convince her otherwise. She told me he kept
talking her out of making a big deal about him looking on dating web
sites while they were dating, or Ms. Sabri finding female clothing
at his house while they were dating. She said Bobby would say,
'it's my sisters' or 'it's my ex-wifes stuff' in explaining why
other female clothing was at his place. She gave me an example of
his dishonesty by telling me about how Bobby always using her
personal computer when he'd stay at her house. Ms. Sabri was
curious to what he was viewing and would check his browsing history
on her computer but found Bobby deleted the information. Ms. Sabri
felt this was odd because he was so secretive about it, so she
placed a 'Key Logger' on her computer. This enabled Ms. Sabri to
research Bobby's history during the times when he was on her
computer. It would also show Bobby's side of a conversation if he
was communicating with someone. She told me she doesn't think he
knew she did this, but was shocked at what she saw and what he was
doing. He had his profile on dating apps and had several
conversations, sexual in nature, with females and males, with him
saying how there is no one to date at the coast. When she
confronted him about the dating apps, he wouldn't answer her
questions. Sometimes he would tell her there was nothing to the
profile and she was making a big deal about it. Ms. Sabri told
Bobby he was hurting her feelings and he would respond by saying, 'I
never would want to hurt you'. Sometimes he would use taking his
'Ambien', as an excuse. Ms. Sabri told me she was convinced he was
also seeing men romantically. From her computer, she had identified
a man locally, intercepting Bobby's conversation with this man, but
did not approach Bobby about it. Ms. Sabri told me Bobby and her
would have unprotected sex since he had a vasectomy. She told me
when they finally did break up, she went to a gynecologist to get
tested for STD's, making sure she had not contracted anything.
Ms. Sabri then told me there was a time that sticks out in her mind.
She paused and told me she has had only two experiences in her
lifetime where things were foggy or she felt she was missing bits
and pieces of events. One of those experience was in a safe
environment when she was traveling with some girlfriends. She did
not remember the walk back to their hotel, but nothing questionable
happened to her. The other experience was with Bobby. She
proceeded to tell me the incident with Bobby that was fuzzy to her.
She told me it was early in the relationship, maybe August of 2006.
She told me she knew Bobby took Ambien to help him sleep and
admitted she didn't know much about the drug. One night she asked
him if she could try one because she hadn't been sleeping well.
Bobby gave her one of his Ambien. Ms. Sabri told me she and Bobby
began to have sex and she said "This was the part where it got
foggy". Ms. Sabri said she doesn't remember what happened once they
started having sex, but she woke up to being confident she had been
anally penetrated. Ms. Sabri told me the last thing she remembers
was her and Bobby fooling around, beginning to have vaginal sexual
intercourse, but then remembering nothing until waking up the next
morning feeling pressure and sensitivity in her rectum. Ms. Sabri
said she had never had anal sex before and has not had it since this
experience. She also said she has never taken another Ambien
either. She told me she didn't bring it up with Bobby and he didn't
mention it to her. I asked her why she didn't ask Bobby about it.
She told me she feels it was kind of on her since she asked for the
Ambien. She admits it was weird that Bobby didn't mention what he
had done. She admits she would've acted differently and not
tolerated it if that were to have happened today. I asked Ms. Sabri
if Bobby ever asked her if they could have anal sex. She told me
"No". She told me the closest he ever got to anal anything is when
he would fondle her bottom while having vaginal sex.
She told me she didn't truly realize how potent the Ambien was until
she told me about one night, late, where Bobby left several voice
messages on her phone regarding an 'accident' that happened. She
told me it was hard to understand what he was saying. He was
talking like he had been drinking and she knew he took Ambien. One
message would say he thinks he hurt himself. Another message said
he was fixing the molding in his house with a power tool and he cut
his fingers. Another message would say he's bleeding pretty bad.
Ms. Sabri told me he was talking gibberish, but she felt it was
serious so she called an ambulance to his house. He left another
voice message telling her he thinks he was going to the hospital.
When she responded to the hospital, the nurse told her she was
concerned as to why Bobby was so 'out of it'. The nurse said his
blood alcohol content was too low for him to be impaired. Ms. Sabri
told the nurse Bobby usually takes an Ambien at night and the nurse
then said 'Oh, that would do it'. Ms. Sabri told me if she would
have known about how potent Ambien was, she would have never asked
Bobby for one.
Ms. Sabri also told me about a time when a married couple from
Washington state came down to visit Bobby. She told me this couple
happened to be 'swingers' and Ms. Sabri told me Bobby was trying to
inquire if she'd be into that too. She told him she wasn't into
that. Ms. Sabri remembers at one point, the four of them drinking
then going into the hot tub. The couples were 'making out' with
their respective partners when she felt she was digitally
penetrated. She admits to being a bit buzzed from the alcohol and
at that moment, she stopped kissing Bobby and saw both of his hands.
She was confused about who was doing that to her and she got out of
the hot tub immediately. Ms. Sabri tried to get Bobby to explain
whose fingers those were inside of her and Bobby defended his
friend, saying it was "absurd" she was accusing his friend of that.
He would convince her she was too sensitive, jealous and
over-reacting. She told me if she hadn't been drinking she would
have left his house. The next morning, Ms. Sabri approached the
wife saying she wasn't on board with the 'swingers thing' and the
female told her 'okay, some people aren't into it'.
Ms. Sabri told me their relationship finally ended in June of 2017
when she came back from a Germany trip with her family. When she
got back, Ms. Sabri told me Bobby was acting weird and pretty much
told her he didn't have time for a relationship. Not long after
they broke up, Ms. Sabri received a job offer to be a Deputy
District Attorney in Lane County, so she accepted the job and moved
away from Lincoln County.
She told me she learned a lot of lessons from this relationship and
how awful and manipulating Bobby was. She told me if she would have
trusted herself more, she would have left him much earlier. She
also told me she went to counseling because of the relationship. In
fact, she said, Bobby recommended the same counselor he was seeing.
His ex-wife was also seeing this counselor.

DISTRIBUTION:
Multnomah County District Attorney's Office, Attn: Nicole Bockelman
SUMMARY OF EVENTS:
On February 25, 2019 at approximately 2:58pm, Chief Jason Malloy
contacted me regarding an adult female in their office who is
reporting being raped by a police officer of Lincoln County. I was
told the allegations were against Bobby (Robert) Bomar, a Lincoln
City Police Sergeant. I was also advised the incident occurred in
Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, on December 17, 2016 when Mr.
Bomar was off-duty. I contacted OSP Sergeant Steve Hinkle and OSP
Lieutenant Matt Lawson and advised of the allegation. I was
advised to proceed with the investigation and OSP Detective Carlos
Barrientos would be assisting.
ACTION TAKEN:
During this investigation, I was advised by Camille Etheridge that
Bobby Bomar had been romantically involved with a dispatcher from
Lincoln City Police Department named Selina, then he moved in with
her. Bobby lived with Selina during the same time Ms. Etheridge was
dating Bobby. Ms. Etheridge was told by Bobby that their romantic
relationship had ended, but he still lived with her. I attempted
several times to reach Selina by telephone and on Monday, April 1,
2019, I spoke with Selina Weitzel by telephone. I asked her if I
could speak with her regarding her relationship with Bobby Bomar.
She said she would speak with me. I told Ms. Weitzel I am
investigating allegations from a woman who had dated Bobby during
the same time he had lived with her. Ms. Weitzel was reserved and
did not discuss her relationship with Bobby in detail. I asked her
how long they had dated. Ms. Weitzel told me she and Bobby began
dating in about 2015 and continued into 2017. She told me Bobby
lived with her until he moved out in March 2017. I asked Ms.
Weitzel why they broke up and she said she never understood why he
broke up. The last couple of months had been on and off and she
felt Bobby lost interest in her, but they stayed together because
she thought they were working on their relationship. I asked her
what she would say if Bobby said they were just roommates during the
months of November through December 2016. She said that would be
"untrue". She said they were still 'a couple' until he moved out in
March of 2017.
Ms. Weitzel told me she suspected Bobby had been seeing another
woman and that this information did not surprise her. She told me
she had caught him speaking with women on-line, one being in China.
I asked Ms. Weitzel if she has ever heard of a woman named Camille
and she said, "No". I asked her if Bobby ever told her he was going
to Portland for a weekend get-away. She told me that was part of
their demise. She explained because of her work hours, she couldn't
accompany him to his doctor's appointments in Portland. She said he
would tell her he would stay with his sister when he had the
appointments. She said she could never go with him.
I asked Ms. Weitzel if she remembers Bobby's brother being ill with
cancer. She said she remembers. I asked if she remembers Bobby
going to California when his brother was dying. She told me she
thinks he died after her and Bobby broke up, but she thinks he went
to visit him while they were still together. Ms. Weitzel told me
she couldn't remember the exact dates, but remembers reading on
Facebook how Bobby's brother had died. She told me she didn't go to
California with him when he went to visit.
I asked how her and Bobby's relationship is now and she said she
considers him a friend and would not hesitate to reach out to him if
she needed anything.

Barrientos would be assisting.
ACTION TAKEN:
On March 8, 2019, Camille Etheridge emailed me advising she couldn't
sleep and had spoken to her son regarding what happened to her with
Bobby Bomar. She told me she would rather have him hear it from her
than through the grapevine. Ms. Etheridge told me he told her he
remembers her coming home from Portland and sleeping for the rest of
the day. I asked if I could have her son's phone number and she
gave it to me.
On April 1, 2019 at approximately 3:15pm, I contacted Ian Leroy by
telephone. I asked him if he remembers when his mother went to
Portland for the night with her boyfriend a couple years ago. He
said he does. I asked why he remembers that day and Ian told me
because his mom never goes anywhere overnight, so it was a rarity.
I asked him what he remembers about it. He said he was home when
she got home on Saturday around 11:45am-12:30pm. He told me he
lived with her in Lincoln City at that time. He remembers looking
at her wondering why she was dressed in what looked like "nighties".
He said she wasn't wearing normal daytime attire and that was odd
for his mom. Ian continued saying his mom came home really "floaty
and not usual". She seemed really out of it and sleepy and just
went into her room. He said the days that followed, his mom was
flinchy and a little on-edge, wanting to be by herself most of the
time.
I asked if he remembers having any contact with his mom while she
was in Portland and he thinks she texted him or called him that
Friday night, but can't remember which. He said they communicate
quite a bit.
Ian told me he is currently living with his mom now in Newport, but
is getting ready to move to the valley.
