‘It was not funny to me’
WARNING: This post contains graphic details.
Greenspan’s client, Cal Foote, is accused of doing the splits over top of E.M.’s face while she was lying on her back on the bed sheet on the hotel room floor.
In her first statement to police in 2018, E.M. told the officer that one of the accused “just did the splits on my face, just to put it in my face kind of.”
She says it was an awkward thing to tell a police officer and it was not something she’d heard of before.
“It was not funny to me. They were all laughing and thought it was hilarious. It wasn’t funny to me.”
Greenspan says E.M. likely heard the men say: “Footer, do the splits.”
But E.M. doesn’t remember the “Footer” part, just that the men were encouraging each other and laughing.
Greenspan says “you were acting like this was fun and games as well,” and suggests that E.M. was egging the men on.
“This was not something I asked for,” E.M. says. “I got no notice before that happened to me. No.”
E.M. says she had never heard of anything like that happening before.
“They were having a good time at my expense.”
