Lake County, FL. Deputy Matthew Donnelly was arrested and charged with sexual battery. Another cop, sworn to uphold the law, takes advantage of his authority and violates an innocent woman. As well as his oath to protect and serve.
The affidavit against the sheriff’s deputy alleges.
After a New Year’s Eve night out, the victim’s boyfriend flagged down Deputy Donnelly. His girlfriend needed help after she had passed out.
Instead of assisting the woman immediately, Deputy Donnelly detained the boyfriend in the rear of the squad car on suspicion of drunk driving.
The victim was startled awake by a man’s voice she did not recognize telling her she was “[expletive] sexy”. He then proceeded to grope and manually rape her.
The deputy then told the victim he wouldn’t take the boyfriend to jail if she cooperated and kept quiet. After he finished, Donnelly contacted relatives to pick up the intoxicated couple.
Later, after the victim was in the safety of loved ones she explained the incident. Those relatives contacted detectives and the investigation began.
The investigation results.
Lake County Sheriff spokesman John Herrell said that the victim had a sexual assault examination and the evidence supported her claim. Deputy Donnelly’s patrol car was tested. Even though the victim was never in the car, her DNA was found on the steering wheel, gearshift knob and his personal flashlight.
Additionally, Donnelly’s patrol car camera showed the boyfriend flagging down the officer. But, during the alleged sexual assault, the camera was turned off for 22 minutes. When the camera was restarted the image of the scene was different then when it was stopped.
Herrell said that the evidence against Donnelly is so strong that, even if he’s found innocent in court, he likely won’t work in law enforcement again. Donnelly has made bail. He’s out of jail for the time being. But Lake County Sheriffs officials have already begun the termination process of former deputy Donnelly.

Be happy in the knowledge that this man was Convicted of this assault. The young woman 24 at the time has 3 children and was just trying to enjoy a new years night out. Donnelly the father of 3 himself decided he needed some "Good time fun" even saying to the woman "Your fucking sexy and I have a Wife" It's sad that his "Dominate" mind set, made him think he could get away with such a thing. I know not all cops are bad. But you get a woman in a place she doesn't know and is drunk at 3am in the morning. Also the place she was at was surrounded by trees and nothing around. She had no way of knowing if running was even an option. Another sad fact is that the wife of Donnelly choose to believe him when he sad he didn't do it and stayed together. But after hearing the heartfelt spoken voice of the victim. I am sure she is now completely aware of why the Jury took less then 2 hours to figure out what she Mrs Donnelly should have known from the beginning. Your husband is lying to you woman and has been since that night. It's time to move on. Only an idiot would stick around now. Don't be an even bigger fool than you have already made yourself out to be. Also I would like to add that if the parents of the school where Mrs Donnelly is a Vice Principle knew that she had access to there children. I wonder if they would keep them there. Just a thought. Also I hope this victim will be taking you to civil court and sew's for damages now. Hope she gets a shit load off you. #WifeofARapist
If your story was that none of this ever happened MR Donnelly. The why the HELL did you refuse to speak to Investigators when they came to talk to you about it. I know the reason. You had to make sure you had your story straight and that itself makes you a scum bag trying to out smart the system you work for. You are a clear example of what this world "doesn't" need in it. Hope they find out your a rapist cop in prison. You clearly need some adjustments made.
