AYANNA M KNIGHT

Nov 1, 2015

At approximately 1600 hours on Wednesday, October 7, 2015, the complainant went

to the Shell gas station at 1765 New York Avenue to fuel and wash his vehicle.
Upon reaching the gas station, he parked his car at a fuel pump. Complainant
then entered the gas station's store to pay. Once inside he encountered
Defendant Knight and Suspect Charles. While the complainant was inside of the
gas station store, Suspect Charles rubbed her clothed buttocks against the
complainant's clothed genitalia without provocation or consent. Defendant Knight
and Suspect Charles then both repeatedly groped complainant's groin and buttocks
against his will and without his consent. Complainant kept trying to avoid both
Defendant Knight and Suspect Charles, but they both followed him around the
inside of the gas station store and continued to grab his crotch, his chest, and
Defendant Knight forcibly put her arm around complainant. Complainant asked
employees of the gas station to call 911, but they declined. Complainant exited
the gas station and returned to the pump to fuel his car. Defendant Knight and
Suspect Charles followed him. Defendant Knight and Subject Charles groped the
complainant's groin and buttocks again while he pumped the gas. The complainant
used reasonable force to repel Defendant Knight and Suspect Charles's assault.
When the car was fueled, the complainant drove his vehicle into the gas station's
car wash. Defendant Knight and Suspect Charles walked to the exit of the car
wash and catcalled to the complainant inside. The complainant called 911 from
his mobile phone from inside the carwash. Once the carwash was finished, the
complainant left the scene, went home, and called 911 again. The incident was
recorded by gas station's security cameras which show the actions discussed
herein.
In response to the complainant's 911 calls, MPD detectives recovered the gas
station's security camera footage and extracted still photographs of the
assailants. The detectives circulated the still photographs among crime
suppression officers familiar with local prostitution. On Friday, November 6,
2015, officers with the Metropolitan Police Department contacted the undersigned
and identified the suspects as ms. Marjorie Charles with a date of birth of
09/14/1992 and Ms. Ayanna Marie Knight with a date of birth of 01/24/1993. The

The events and acts described above occurred primarily in the District of Columbia and
were committed as described by defendant(s) listed in the case caption.
The foregoing statement was made under penalty of criminal prosecution and punishment for false statements pursuant to D.C. Code 22-2514
