the investigator went even further, describing the accused lobbyist, Richard Dennis — not the female staffer — as “the victim” in this case. “She lied to me,” the investigator, Special Agent Patrick Alonzo, can be heard saying. “She orchestrated all this.”
From the Houston Chronicle
report:
Now, a DPS investigation
has concluded that a legislative staffer fabricated the story of the date-rape
drug to cover up embarrassing personal behavior. “No evidence or facts obtained
during the investigation support the allegation,” the 50-page report said.
In a separate audio
recording obtained by Hearst Newspapers, the investigator went even further,
describing the accused lobbyist, Richard Dennis — not the female staffer — as
“the victim” in this case. “She lied to me,” the investigator, Special Agent Patrick
Alonzo, can be heard saying. “She orchestrated all this.”

Chronicle is here.
