Johnson says Roznowski later confessed to investigators when they asked for permission to go through her phone.
“Ms. Roznowski said I was really drunk and don’t remember driving there from East-town Pub. I just remember waking in the basement of his house and don’t remember if we had sex or not.”
The report goes on to say that Roznowski admitted to having sex with the alleged victim twice, the first time happening in mid-July. The two allegedly met up more than 10 times near his home during the summer.
