Heading: E.K.'s Testimony

Text: D.E.K. testified that she met Baughman through a friend, in March 2007. In April they began talk[ing] on the computer, using Facebook, and she told him she was 15. The first time D.E.K. and Baughman hung out alone was in June 2007. D.E.K. was babysitting for an entire weekend and was using her cell phone to text back and forth with Baughman. Late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, they arranged to meet behind the Gas 4 Less station while her friends watched the children she was supposed to be babysitting. She told her friends that she was going to meet Baughman. When D.E.K. met Baughman, they hugged and kissed. She said, After awhile we were talking and he fingered me, which meant that he unbuttoned her pants, put his hand down her pants, and put his finger in her vagina. They stayed behind the Gas 4 Less for 2 or 3 hours. The next time Baughman and D.E.K. were alone together was in July 2007. D.E.K. was hanging out with C.S., L.B., and K.D. on Saturday and they went to a motorcycle rally. All of them were under 18 years of age. That evening, D.E.K. and Baughman were texting each other and agreed to meet again behind the Gas 4 Less. When Baughman and D.E.K. met, they hugged and talked. They sat down with Baughman seated behind her. At some point he had his hand on her crotch, started putting his fingers in her shorts, and then he fingered her. It was the same type of fingering he had done in June. Baughman told her to get up and she did. He then told her to lie down. She saw him unbuckling his pants and said, `No, not yet,' and he said, `Don't worry, I'm not going to stick it in you,' and he did. She eventually took off her shorts and her underwear. He never took his pants off, just took his penis out. They went over by an old truck and he wanted her to sit and do it on the edge of the truck. But that didn't work. Then he told her to turn around, and she thought that he was going to do something else but he didn't. They finally did it lying down. She said he was gentle. When it hurt, she told him to stop, so he did. Then he went at it again and once it started hurting [she] told him to stop. Then after the pain went away he kept going. The prosecutor asked D.E.K. what she meant when she said that he put it in you. D.E.K. said: He put his penis in my vagina. The prosecutor asked how long the two had sexual intercourse and D.E.K. said 15 or 20 minutes. Because Baughman was not wearing a condom, D.E.K. was concerned she would get pregnant. Baughman said she would not because she didn't let him finish. He told her he did not ejaculate. After they had sexual intercourse D.E.K. said she stayed about 10 minutes and then walked back to C.S.'s house. D.E.K. did not tell her friends immediately what had happened but later she told K.D., because it was my first time and it hurt and so they noticed a little. She thought something happened. D.E.K. said K.D. kind of figured that I was walking weird, so D.E.K. told her she was in pain and she had had sex with Baughman. K.D. testified: She [D.E.K.] said that behind Gas 4 Less her and Clifford had sex and she had lost her virginity to him. Monday night K.D. told D.E.K.'s best friend, who threatened to tell D.E.K.'s parents what happened if D.E.K. did not tell them herself. So D.E.K. told her parents about it on Tuesday.
