SUBJECT: Code of Conduct Violations – Kolby Granville – Former Students’

Allegations
________________________________________________
This memo is intended to provide factual findings and recommendations with
respect to possible Code of Conduct Violations by City of Tempe Council Member Kolby
Granville, in connection with allegations made against him by former students at the school
at which he taught (Tempe Preparatory Academy – “TPA”), which led to his firing as a
teacher at TPA, and a criminal investigation handled by Detectives at the City of Phoenix
Police. According to the information received, Mr. Granville was accused of sexual assault,
assault and providing alcohol to minors.
Consistent with the Tempe City Council’s Code of Conduct, the initial inquiry of
alleged violations of the Code of Conduct began with a referral to the City Attorney, who
in turn hired me as outside counsel to investigate the allegations to determine whether the
allegations, if true, would qualify as a violation(s). (See Resolution 2009.126).

I. FINDINGS OF FACT
As a part of counsel’s outside investigation of this matter, I reviewed police reports,

emails and other personnel documentation provided by Mr. Granville’s former employer,

Page 2
(recorded, with his attorney present), and John Kelley, TPA’s attorney. The following is a
summary of what was reported to TPA and then to the City of Phoenix Detectives, in
connection with former TPA students’ allegations against Mr. Granville, as well as the lead
Detective’s perspective on the matter, Mr. Granville’s response via interview, and some
additional clarification/perspective from TPA’s documentation.
A. Allegations of Three Former TPA Female Students
1.
On January 18th, 2018, AZ Central published an article about Tempe City

Councilman Kolby Granville being terminated from his teaching position at TPA. He was
terminated for inappropriate conduct with former students by allegedly providing them
alcohol when they were under 21 years of age and possibly making unwanted sexual
advances towards two of them. Tempe Police saw the article and made an inquiry to the
school to obtain additional information about the people involved, but then elected to
recuse themselves due to potential conflict of interest. City of Phoenix was assigned the
criminal, and it was handled by Sgt. Breitzman and Detective Mose.
Shortly thereafter, Det. Mose contacted TPA’s attorney, John Kelley, to ask for the
information that had been released to the media for their article. She received the same
redacted information that TPA released to the media for their public information request.
Based on this information, which included numerous emails with former female TPA
students, Det. Mose put together a timeline and then reached out to the females to interview
them.
On 01/26/18, Det. Mose spoke to " " over the telephone, and the conversation
was audio recorded. graduated from TPA in May of 2015 and never had Granville
as a teacher while she was at TPA. She knew who he was because TPA is a small school
and everyone tends to know who everyone is. first met with school officials at the
end of November to discuss her issue with Kolby Granville. stated they had a
consensual relationship from April of 2016 to February of 2017, not just six months as
Granville claimed in the news article. had multiple conversations with Granville
while she was a student and on one occasion he flirted with her when he commented how
attractive her dress was at prom. At the time she did not think much of it. turned 18
years old in August of 2015, after graduating from TPA. She did not have any contact with
Granville until September of 2015 while attending a neighborhood meeting, after which,
he asked her to be Facebook friends.
After and Granville became Facebook friends, he asked to meet her for
coffee or lunch. Though and her mother both thought it was weird, she agreed to
meet him for lunch, believing there was nothing romantic about it. thought they were
just meeting so he could get to know her and ask her questions about the City of Tempe.
December 6, 2018
Page 3
They had contact off and on via text about City related things until she asked to meet with
him in February of 2016 to interview him for one of her college classes. During the
interview it remained professional, until he asked if she wanted to see a movie with
him. She declined at first, but then after seeing him again in April, Granville again asked
her out and they started dating a week later. Once they started dating, Granville insisted
she not tell her parents or her friends that they were dating. stated he actually told
her he could get fired if anyone found out they were dating. Granville also did not take
any pictures with aside from the one picture she took outside the movie in April
when they first started dating.
While acknowledged that nothing physical happened until after she was 18
years old, she described herself as being very immature and sheltered, which Granville
knew and recognized. The reason she decided to come forward to the school is because
someone she worked with told her that a student was alone in the room with Granville, and
he touched her inappropriately. added that while she was dating Granville, he had
told her a story about the school not letting him be alone with female students because he
had touched a student inappropriately. also disclosed a conversation she had with
Granville about how old she looked, and he told her that she looked "16." She knew that
Granville found younger women attractive.
did not feel comfortable reporting her relationship at first, however, because
one of her friends has a father that is on the board or teaches at TPA. She also saw in the
article that Granville accused her of making this claim because she was jealous of his new
girlfriend, but again stated she only came forward because of what her coworker told
her about a former student at TPA, and she said she ended the relationship. stated
she asked him if he could ever love her, and Granville told her "no," so she decided to end
the relationship. Finally, stated Granville did buy alcohol for her when they were
dating, but it was usually just them, other than once in Vegas.
2.
On 02/05/18, Det. Mose interviewed in-person, which was audio and video
recorded in its entirety. While was at TPA, Granville was never her teacher, and
she did not really have any interaction with him at school. She graduated in May of 2013,
and was still 17 years old. She was going to take a month-long trip to Germany, and a
teacher, , recommended that speak to Granville because he had
traveled pretty extensively was the at TPA in 2013). So,
contacted Granville by telephone, and they met at Cartel Coffee on September 2nd,
2013, and walked to Tempe farmer's market to get something to eat. They planned to meet
a week later to go road biking, but they instead met for breakfast. During breakfast
Granville started making comments about her appearance, telling her that she was an
attractive, smart woman, which she thought was weird coming from an older man.
told Mrs. about the comments Granville made, and she told that he likes
December 6, 2018
Page 4
to date younger women and that it sounded like him. They met several more times for
meals, and after the fourth time, he suggested they go back to his house for ice cream and
to get the travel books he was going to loan her.
At his house, Granville took to his roof, and while they were on the roof, he
asked to lay on his chest; she did not answer, so Granville pulled her on his chest.
While they were talking, Granville started talking about his sexual experiences, and he told
that she would not like the things he was into, which made her very
"uncomfortable." He also kept pulling her hand to rest on his chest, and she kept pulling it
away. said Granville was also asking her questions about whether she liked older
men and would she date him, which also added to her discomfort. She told him then that
they should just be friends, and she did not date anyone unless she was friends first.
finally said she had to leave because her parents were waiting for her, so they stood up.
Granville then made a comment about being 18, and she responded she was still
only 17 years old. He then said something to the effect of “well I guess that shoots down
my idea of a goodnight kiss.” took the travel books and left Granville's house.
did not see Granville again prior to leaving for her trip, but they did maintain
contact via Facebook messages (these were provided by ). stated she became
uncomfortable with some of his messages and made up a story that she was seeing
someone, so he would stop sending her so many messages. returned from her trip
at the end of October, she thinks she just dropped by his house in November to drop off
the travel books. Granville answered the door when she knocked and asked her to come in
and put the books on the coffee table. walked in, put the books down, turned around
and Granville was closing the door. He was standing between her and the door. Granville
asked about her trip, walked towards and kissed her. She pushed him away because
she did not want to be kissed by him. Granville stayed in front of the door and said ''I don't
think you're ready to leave yet," which frightened . She was not sure how to get out
of the situation, so she told him that she should go because there were friends waiting for
her. Granville grabbed her by the shoulders, in a way felt he was trying to reach for
her chest, and he kissed her again. pulled away again, and Granville stated
something to the effect of, maybe you should leave before we do something we'll both
regret. felt threatened by that remark, walked out of his house and said "goodbye."
told a few friends what happened, as well as Mrs. . Mrs.

just laughed it off and said that sounds like Granville. decided to report this to the
school because she found out that Granville was fired from the school, so she wanted to
tell them her story. learned about Granville being fired from a family friend that
used to own a in Tempe where would sometimes work, and who also
happened to be a Tempe City Council member, Lauren Kuby. has request to not be
assigned to work at events when Granville might be present. said
she feels a lot of guilt for not saying anything at the time, especially after she read the
article. The comments Granville made in the AZ Central article also made her angry, so
December 6, 2018
Page 5
she felt it was her responsibility to tell the school it was not just those two girls.
thought about contacting police, but she did not want her name associated with it and this
has become a lot bigger than she anticipated. It was explained to the events she
described constituted an assault; specifically the kiss. was still visibly upset about
the incident that happened with Granville in 2013 and had yet to speak to a counselor about
the traumatic event. However, several days later, Det. Mose contacted , and left a
message that the other girls did not want to prosecute ( had asked if the other girls
would proscute). never called back to prosecute.
3.
On 2/8/18, went in for her interview with Det. Mose, which was audio and
video recorded. graduated in 2013, and was friends with towards the end of
2013 and did ask her on a date at the end of the school year. said they went on a
date, but it was more or less them hanging out and nothing else happened. She stayed in
touch off and on with over the next couple of years, but parents were very
strict and blocked from her phone. When they did talk, it was via email from an
account created without her parent's knowledge. does communicate with
now on a regular basis, but never knew about relationship with Granville
until well after and Granville stopped seeing each other. They did not stop speaking
because started seeing Granville, as Granville stated in an email to John Kelley.
Det. Mose asked what her relationship with Granville was while she was
at TPA as a student. According to her, he was never her teacher, but TPA is a small school
and everyone knows everyone. She would talk with him before school started in the
mornings when he had courtyard duty. described Granville as being progressive
and accepting of her gay lifestyle, which was unusual for the school environment. Granville
then contacted her in the spring or summer of 2014 and said he had wanted to wait a year
until after she graduated before contacting her, to create some distance. Granville asked
to join a TPA summer run club, which she declined, and he later invited her to a
movie festival, which she also declined. Her parents were aware of her contact, but did not
think much of it because she tended to be friends with adults because her older brother is
15 years her senior; based on her sexuality, they were also not worried about there being a
sexual interest there.
also talked about Granville providing alcohol for her and other underage
friends in the summer of 2014. She had a friend who attended Arizona Technical Institute
and lived on campus in the dorms. Granville would come to the dorms with alcohol, hang
out with college kids and consume alcohol. That same summer is when Granville also
asked to go to a jazz concert, to which she agreed. He asked if she wanted to leave
the concert and go to a friend's party, and agreed. While they were at the party,
they both consumed alcohol and that is when Granville kissed her. pulled away,
he apologized; she just chalked it up to a "drunken mistake" and did not think anything of
December 6, 2018
Page 6
it. father , so she did not tell her parents about what happened, as
she did not want him to get upset and do something that would jeopardize his career. After
the party, and Granville continued to talk. She would go over to his house, and
they would have drinks and watch movies.
Granville also went to Tucson and stayed with in her apartment for a night
because he was going to go cycling on Mt. Lemon. During that visit nothing happened,
however, she believes he made a pass at one of her friends there. After a break up that
went through in the fall of 2015, she and Granville started talking on a more regular
basis. During one of their conversations, Granville asked if she wanted to go with him to
San Francisco for New Year’s Eve. He said it would be an inexpensive trip for her because
he was driving, they had a place to stay, so she would just have to pay for food.
agreed to go because she loved to travel and thought this was a good opportunity for an
inexpensive trip.
Prior to going on the trip, went to Granville's house in December to watch

movies. They had gin and cranberry juice to drink while they watched movies. She realized
she was too intoxicated to drive, so she asked to sleep on the couch. Granville told her his
bed would be more comfortable, so she agreed to sleep there. got in the bed, but
does not remember if she changed clothes or was wearing jeans. She said Granville had a
night stand with various women's clothing items and she thinks she may have put on shorts
or pajama pants before getting in bed. Granville got in bed with , moved behind her
in a "spooning position" with his arm around her. She felt him put his hand down her pants
and digitally penetrated her vagina with his fingers. told Granville to stop, but that
is when he became more persistent and said something to effect of "having sex with a guy
is no different than having sex with a woman with a strap-on." The words were and still
are hurtful for because Granville was aware of her sexual orientation and was still
trying to have sex with her. She was visibly upset and tearing up as she described
Granville's words and actions. again told Granville "no," but he continued to touch
her on her vagina, until pulled his hand from her pants. She got out of bed, grabbed
her clothing, went to her car and cried for a little while. She then drove home and cried
some more. She did not say anything to her parents or anyone at the time. did
eventually tell her mother a little about what happened, a couple of years later, and her
mother advised her not to tell her father because he was still a .
sent Granville an email after the incident at his house actually apologizing
to him because she thought somehow she had done something wrong or overreacted. She
said in the email she kept blaming herself and said her psychiatrist had changed her
medication, so she blamed that as well. He did not reply by email, but she thinks he replied
via text or in person. does not have these text messages because it was an old phone
that broke and it was a different phone number at the time. After she spoke with Granville,
decided to go to San Francisco because she thought the boundaries were
established, and he again told her that she would not have this opportunity to go to San
December 6, 2018
Page 7
Francisco for such a low cost. While they were in San Francisco, nothing sexual happened
between them; they walked around, ate and drank alcohol while they were there. She did
sleep in the same bed as Granville, but stayed to the very far side of the bed because there
were only two space heaters in the apartment. She described Granville as being slightly
quiet and reserved on the trip and at a later time he told he was pre- occupied with
family matters.
also discussed some Facebook messages between her and Granville

discussing their dating lives and " ," some of which Det. Mose had already received
from John Kelley. confirmed that some of the messages were referring to ,
and she told Granville to stay away from her because she was naive and innocent. They
also discussed the numerous emails had with Granville; most of them were about
him trying to find odd jobs for her to make money. was paid to work on Granville's
campaign, his sister's campaign, and she graded papers for him when he was teaching at
TPA. also added that when Granville stated in the article that he was far removed
from whomever worked on his campaign and that he was not aware worked on his
campaign, it was an obvious lie because they were friends, went to San Francisco together
and exchanged emails about it.
Also according to , while she was on the roof with Granville at some point
during their friendship, he told her a story about . According to , Granville
told her that he felt like he was set up on "kind of a date" with by another teacher,
Mrs. . was also told by Granville that was interested in him, and
she put her head-on his chest, but he was not really interested, especially once he learned
her age. According to , he also said he did not find attractive and he
supposedly told about this too.
said Granville liked to go on the roof to hang out. The story with
came up because was telling Granville how she did not get along with
because she was a ring leader of kids that bullied while she was in school.
is not sure what to think about claim, but identifies as a lesbian, so
Granville's version of the story that was interested in him does not really make
sense to her. She also added that identified as being gay until her relationship with
Granville, then she identified as being bi-sexual.
stopped communication with Granville after San Francisco and after his
campaign ended. He would send her the generic emails he would send other people about
Tempe and maybe some Facebook messages. stated multiple times during the
interview that she came forward so this would not happen to anyone else and to support
story. She has not had any contact with Granville since the article came out, but
she did have Facebook messages from the time they were friends. stated she would
forward the Facebook messages and all the emails involving Granville to me. I did refer
information to the victim advocates to contact her after i explained to
December 6, 2018
Page 8
what services they could offer. did send some of the emails to me; however at a
later time she decided not to move forward with prosecution and did not send me the
Facebook conversation with Granville or any more emails. The reasons given by
not to prosecute are Granville's position in government, is still a ,
the business of her life with school, and she wants to put the event behind her.
On 03/05/18, Det. Mose contacted Julia Cassels, Granville's attorney, to find out if
he was willing to speak with her in reference to the allegations against him. She advised
Det. Mose that she would speak to her client and get back to her; Ms. Cassels never got
back to her. Granville did send an email to John Kelley, TPA's attorney, after he was
terminated to address some of the allegations. He also spoke to the journalist who wrote
the original article for AZ Central. In the email and article, Granville denies ever providing
alcohol for anyone underage or even knowing prior to her graduating from TPA. He
also stated that he only dated for six months and that did not start until the start of
her sophomore year at ASU (September 2016). He acknowledged they went on a couple
of dates in April of 2016, which is when stated they started dating. Granville stated
he was friends with and her family, but denies any memory of drinking with her
or touching her. He even stated if she worked on his campaign, she was so far removed he
did not know. provided emails from Granville to her specifically about working on
his campaign. Granville stated initiated the Facebook messages to him, but looking
over the messages, Det. Mose said it appeared to be a very mutual conversation. Granville
also implied and had an on-going romantic relationship that ended when he
started dating . Granville did not make any comments to the media pertaining to
allegations.
4. Additional Information On Another Potential Victim
Additionally, Det. Mose was contacted by Chad Sampson, a board member at TPA,
who advised he knew about two different people/situations for which he wanted to provide
information. While at a school meeting, Tony, the father of an 8th grade student, told Mr.
Sampson that his daughter received a friend request on Facebook from Granville on
1/30/18. Mr. Sampson provided Tony’s number in order for Det. Mose to contact him for
details. Mr. Sampson also told Det. Mose about receiving information on allegations by
.
On 02/05/18, Det. Mose contacted Tony by telephone to get additional information

about the friend request from Granville to his daughter (recorded). Tony stated his
daughter is in 8th grade at TPA and has never had Granville as a teacher. On 2/2/18, she
told her dad that she received a request from Granville to follow her on Instagram on
1/31/18. She thought it was weird he wanted to follow her, but she did not accept it and
never had any personal contact with Granville. Det. Mose asked Tony if he wanted to bring
his daughter in for an interview by a dedicated forensic interviewer to find out if there was
December 6, 2018
Page 9
anything she had not disclosed to him, but he was positive there was no contact outside of
normal school interaction between Granville and his daughter, and he declined.
B. Detective Mose’ Impressions
On October 25, 2018, I interviewed Det. Mose in person. Det. Mose works in the
Adult Sex Crimes Unit, and has been a detective for many years. It is her opinion that all
three women were telling the truth, and the emails and other information she saw generally
corroborated a lot of what they told her and was also consistent with their prior
statements/allegations. However, she also noted that all three seemed very insecure and
vulnerable, and that they were the perfect type of victims for an older man who had been
in a position of authority to target. She believes that Granville chose them specifically,
because they would be easy to manipulate, due to their vulnerability, sexual identity
struggles and overall insecurities.
However, because the women refused to prosecute, and there were no definitive
statements by Granville (other than a couple of general denials via the article – he refused
to respond to interview requests), she did not have enough to recommend prosecution. She
did however indicate the statute of limitations on some of the alleged crimes had not yet
run.
C. Summary of Mr. Granville’s Responses Via Recorded Interview
On November 7, 2018, I conducted an in-person interview with Kolby Granville,

at his criminal defense attorney’s (Julia Cassels) office. They allowed me to record the
interview on my phone, which we are in the process of trying to transfer to get transcribed.
Mr. Granville admitted to the relationship with “ ,” as well as the friendships (as he
called them) with and . He said he does not remember ever giving alcohol
to any of them, but witnessed drunk and drinking – he claims they must have
gotten their own drinks, and that he did not drink with them. He said it would have been a
stupid thing to do, since he is politics (although he claims that Dad let her drink).
He also admitted to being with the women on all of the occasions that they discussed in the
allegations, including at their schools while there was drinking, although he said nothing
inappropriate happened.
However, when asked about allegations of being sexually assaulted in his

bed – rather than unequivocally deny it occurred – he said “I’m sure that did not happen.”
He claims he must not have done it, because in the email sent him the next day,
she did not mention him assaulting her, and that she is “super gay.” He also does not
remember them sharing a bed at his house. He admits they shared a bed a couple of times,
but the night is referencing, he claims that became overly emotional, and
that she left the night from his house because she had been crying throughout the night for
no apparent reason; however he then said that he woke up several times in the night and
December 6, 2018
Page 10
early in the morning, and she was still crying (suggesting he was right next to her). He also
says they were friends for a long time after that, and he now remembers that
worked on his campaign. He then initially denied knowing friend at UofA, but
then switched gears and remembered her. He also initially denied hitting on the friend, then
changed his story to say he does not remember for sure if he did or not, but that he never
ended up going out with her.
Granville also admits that he went out a few times with (but does not
remember any specifics), and that after a few dates they went to the roof of his house; he
claims he did not know how old she was. He admits had her head on his chest on
his roof, but that as soon as she said she was 17, he claims he told her to immediately leave.
However, again, when asked about kissing her when she came back to his house with the
travel books (which he says he does not remember giving her), he says he does not
remember her coming back to return the books (but it could have happened), nor kissing
her and that he is “sure [he] would not have done that,” and that it would be “out of
character” and does not “logically make sense,” but he has no recollection either way. He
vacillated between having a very clear memory of some things, but then not a good memory
when it came to some of the specific allegations of criminal conduct, like the unwanted
kiss – he claims it was six years ago, so he could not remember, yet he remembered the
rooftop. He also then claimed that he complained to Mrs. that she should not have
set them up, but says Mrs. claimed it was not a big deal. At some time prior
however, Granville admits that identified as gay, but she said also said she wanted
to date Granville, and he was interested, until he learned she was 17. Although when asked
about having previously claimed he was not attracted to he again did not remember
whether he said that or not.
Granville also acknowledged that the three females at issue were very vulnerable
and insecure women, which he knew at the time he was involved with them. He actually
said that is the reason he influenced to break up with him – because she was too
needy. Granville also admitted he has tended to date much younger women, but that he is
now with a women in her 30’s. Interestingly, Granville also volunteered that he had been
devastated by a break-up with a much younger women (in her late teens/early 20’s), and
that this occurred right before these situations with these three women started happening.
He believes however that reported him to TPA because she was jealous of his new
girlfriend. He did not provide any explanation for why or would have made
the allegations they made.
When asked about the Code of Conduct, he said he was aware of the rules by which
council members were to abide. He also admitted that there were reasons to be concerned
about him having dated and/or interacted as he did with these young women, who had just
recently been students where he was teaching. Although he claims there were no
allegations of grooming (even though he admitted they were vulnerable and it made for a
delicate situation), and that really the problem was because he was an old guy dating young
December 6, 2018
Page 11
women, which is stigmatized “like communism.” He also says he made some “bad life
choices,” and he should not have dated Mr. Granville also confirmed there is a State
Bar investigation into his conduct, but that as far as he understands, that has not yet been
resolved. He is also in the midst of a dispute with the Board of Education regarding his
teaching certificate.
Overall, Mr. Granville came across as somewhat evasive and deceptive at numerous
times, while at other times trying to be very cooperative and open about his actions, when
he was characterizing them as appropriate and being a self-proclaimed good guy. He said
he preferred that we record the interview, and his lawyer only objected one time on
relevance to a question, but Mr. Granville readily answered (about why he left home as a
teenager to move in with his sister in Tempe, which was because his mom was unstable).
He also said he was fine with having been investigated by the Police, but that he did not
respond to their requests to be interviewed. His final statement was that he wants to still
protect the women’s identities, even though he did not get the “best end of this deal.”2
D. TPA Emails & Granville Student Reviews
The emails provide by TPA are consistent (although do not include much detail)
with what has been reported about the women’s allegations. And, TPA did see some of the
Facebook messages, emails and texts between Granville and the women. Further, TPA
believed there were inappropriate actions by Granville, because they fired him on the same
day they brought him in to interview him about the allegations they had received. They
fired him on the spot, even though it was the end of the term, and he had not yet even
graded papers/tests that had just been submitted by his students.
TPA also provided student reviews (and peer reviews) from Granville’s personnel
file. Many of the students made comments about how Granville behaved inappropriately
in the classroom, making inappropriate remarks to and about students (especially female
students), and that he was very flirtatious with and favored a couple of attractive female
students. Students also commented on Granville’s interactions with students on social
media, and their belief those interactions were inappropriate. Indeed, even after being fired
and being accused of this conduct, Granville sent a friend request to an 8th grade former
student of his. Granville did not deny this, but again, did not have a clear memory of it
(although he claims sometimes people do his social media for him, but he could not provide
a clear explanation of who or why).
II. APPLICABLE CODE OF CONDUCT SECTIONS &

PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE STANDARD
Personnel Rule 406.B (Revised May 2018).

We have a CD of the recorded interview, but we have not yet paid to have it fully transcribed.
December 6, 2018
Page 12
9. [The employee has] been abusive in attitude, language, behavior, or conduct toward
another employee or the public.
10. [The employee has] engaged in behavior that has resulted in physical harm, or the
threat thereof, to another employee or the public.
11. [The employee has] engaged in behavior that does not meet a reasonable standard of
workplace civility and respect in his or her interactions with other employees or the
Public.
12. [The employee has] engaged in conduct, on or off duty that is of such a nature that it
causes discredit to the City.
Ethics in our Workplace Handbook
Essential decency in our dealings with peers, bosses, and subordinates and all those
outside the City with whom we come in contact. Earning the respect and regard of
others for what we do and how we do it. Thinking through the implications of our
actions, and our lack of action.
*****
It's a matter of respect.
The City isn’t a building, a piece of equipment, a form to fill out, or a budget. It’s
people. A community of people. A team. A family.
We see each other every day, work together closely, share common goals and depend
upon each other. We have bad days and good days. We squabble and squirm, fuss and
fight, and agree to disagree. We also help each other out, trade confidences, pour on
the second effort, and laugh together over coffee. We rise to the occasion, in small and
big ways.
The only way the relationship works is to treat one another with fairness, dignity, and
respect. We insist!
Our City is not only obligated, but committed, to provide you with a work environment
that is safe, fulfilling, and dignified. Intimidation, coercion, and harassment of any kind
have no place here.
The foregoing rules and guidelines are incorporated into the City Council’s Code
of Conduct via Resolution 2009.126. Resolution 2009.126. provides that formal censure is
the maximum sanction for a Code of Conduct Violation. However, as noted in footnote 2,
supra, the voters recently approved the addition of a new subsection to the Tempe City
December 6, 2018
Page 13
Charter, which, upon approval by the Governor, will authorize the City Council to remove
a councilmember, by supermajority of 5 of 7 votes, for unlawful conduct involving moral
turpitude, fraud or corruption.
Preponderance of the Evidence
There are also Arizona cases

that have held that the preponderance standard is appropriate in administrative proceedings.
In the City of Tucson v. Mills, the Court of Appeals held that “a majority of the [City of
Tucson] Civil Service Commission members must be persuaded by the preponderance of
the evidence to concur with the opinion of the discharging officer.” 114 Ariz. 107 (App.
1976). Similarly, the Court of Appeals also held that “absent legislative adoption of a
different standard, applicant’s fraud in attempting to secure license to practice nursing may
be established by same preponderance of evidence standard generally applicable to
contested cases under the APA.” Culpepper v. State, 187 Ariz. 431 (App. 1996).
The RAJI (Civil) 3d Standard 9 defines the “preponderance” standard as: “On any
claim, the party who has the burden of proof must persuade you, by the evidence, that the
claim is more probably true than not true. This means that the evidence that favors that
party outweighs the opposing evidence. In determining whether a party has met this burden,
consider all the evidence that bears on that claim, regardless of which party produced it.”

Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: I’m (Inaudible) watch it go up and down.
Ms. Barnes: No problem.
Mr. Granville: It’s like a little equalizer thing that’s totally (Inaudible) to me.
Ms. Barnes: Right? All right, so this is, what are we, November 7, 2018, 1:30
PM and we’re at Julia Cassels’ office who represents Colby
Granville and we’re here for me to conduct an investigation
interview in line with my investigation on behalf of the City of
Tempe. So you’re aware that I’m doing that. She’s filled you in and
I’m here basically sort of as outside consultant for the city to
conduct an investigation whether or not there’s been code of
conduct violations for the things you’ve been accused of over this
last year.
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. I’ll start with just some general questions. What are you
doing now for, you know, professionally?
Mr. Granville: I am working as a legal biller reviewer. I own an escape room that I
started. I own a phone app company that I started.
Ms. Barnes: What kind of phone app?
Mr. Granville: I’ll show it to you if you like.
Ms. Barnes: Sure.
Mr. Granville: So what it does is, it’s a way to do faster user reporting,
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: So on the button, you’ve got some options like, things that whatever
cities have, let’s start on graffiti. I click on the graffiti, it takes a
picture of whatever the graffiti is and then it emails it to whatever
city I’m in,
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: and so that works in basically every city over 5,000 people in North
America.
1
Ms. Barnes: Um, good.
Mr. Granville: Then I also own a sports apparel company called Tempe Ice
Apparel.
Ms. Barnes: Tempe Ice?
Mr. Granville: Ice apparel yeah. It’s athletic shirts that hold ice in them.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: Sometimes I do legal work.
Ms. Barnes: Like contract review?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, actually criminal stuff, but yeah, but just like coverage, stuff
that I can do for like two or three hours and be done with it. Kind of
a professional hobbyist.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. And so do you do all these things just out of your home or
do you
Mr. Granville: The legal billing I do at work. I’m also on the city council, sorry I
forgot that. So the legal bill review I do out of the office where I
work. The escape room, I do an escape room that I have a lease
on. The ice shirts I do out of my house through websites and
Amazon and stuff. The app I do out of my house or a coffee shop.
Council I do pretty much everywhere.
Ms. Barnes: When you said a legal bill reviewing stuff that you do out of your
office, what office is that?
Ms. Barnes: I work at the office for the company, not my office.
Ms. Barnes: Got it, and what’s the company?
Mr. Granville: So I have to ask you, if I can,
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: So I have had a few different times now where people have found
out where I work and they’ve called my bosses in an effort to get
me fired, so I would, if that information is going to be public, I’d
rather not say because I’ve gone through many jobs that way, you
know? And I would like to try and keep one.
2
Ms. Barnes: I don’t have to include it in anything that I do as a report.
Mr. Granville: Oh, okay, as long, again, I don’t mind telling you, I just don’t want
people calling my boss to try and get me fired.
Ms. Barnes: Yeah, no, I will not use that. I won’t contact anybody and I’m not
going to use it to identify
Mr. Granville: Okay, . They basically are the middle person

between big law firm and big companies to make sure that big law
firms are billing according to the legal guidelines that they, the
contract they signed.
Ms. Barnes: Got it.
Mr. Granville: Not billing for travel time or
Ms. Barnes: Okay. All right, and are you currently in a relationship?
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: And how long?
Mr. Granville: Depends on when you count from. The first time we went out was
August of ’17. I think we sort of made it Facebook official, I think
that’s the thing now, end of November ’17 and she’s living with me
now. And actually, by the time this bookwork comes out, so I can
say this, the plan is to propose to her at the end of her 50 mile race.
Ms. Barnes: Which is when?
Mr. Granville: December 5 th , so hopefully, pretty soon I’ll be engaged.
Ms. Barnes: Congratulations.
Mr. Granville: I feel like after 50 miles she’ll be too tired to say no.
Ms. Barnes: And how did you meet her?
Mr. Granville: I originally met her ten years ago when I was in law school and she
was also at ASU as a student.
Ms. Barnes: You were in law school at ASU?
3
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I was in law school at ASU and she was also at ASU and she
was on the ASU cycling team and I was, a friend of mine was on
the cycling team and asked if I’d come out and like run the timer.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And so that’s the first time I met her and then we sort of off and on
stayed friends and we went out, I finally asked her out on a date
whenever. Actually, I originally asked her out when I was in Iceland
last, like June of ’17, but she had a couple of Iron Mans to do and
stuff so she’s like I can’t stay up past 8:00, blah, blah, blah, and so
eventually, got it sorted out.
Ms. Barnes: And you guys both do that.
Mr. Granville: Uh huh. I’ve done two Iron Mans, she’s done 11. She’s in much
better shape than I am.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. And she, had she been a student of your prior to that that
you’re aware of, when you were teaching?
Mr. Granville: My girlfriend now?
Ms. Barnes: Correct.
Mr. Granville: Oh, God, no.
Ms. Barnes: Well, I know you said you met her when she was an undergrad, so I
just was, had she ever been a student of yours prior to that, well,
you were in law school then so you weren’t teaching then.
Mr. Granville: No, I wasn’t teaching, no.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. You started teaching when?
Mr. Granville: At Tempe Prep?
Ms. Barnes: Right.
Mr. Granville: The day after Martin Luther King Day 2013.
Ms. Barnes: So 1/16ish of 2013?
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: And what did you teach?
4
Mr. Granville: Humane Letters and 8th Grade US History from 1865 to the
present. Although, yeah, every year I taught different classes pretty
much, but that’s what I started with.
Ms. Barnes: Humane Letters was for what grades? Upper? Upper?
Mr. Granville: I have taught 9th , 10th and 11 th Humane Letters.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. And you taught before that?
Mr. Granville: Yeah.
Ms. Barnes: Where did you teach?
Mr. Granville: I taught a year in China; I taught a year in Mozambique; I did my

student teaching at Carson Jr. High in Mesa; I taught at ASU when
I was a graduate student to a computer literacy class.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: I taught at Aetna Financial Services, a financial trailer. Was

instructional designer for Fortune 500 companies, like Wells Fargo,
Bank of America. I’m probably forgetting a few places I’ve taught. I
taught recently at Grand Canyon University; I taught University of
Phoenix online.
Ms. Barnes: What did you teach at GCU?
Mr. Granville: Legal, I think, Business Corporations and Legal Ethics or some
version of that I think is what it’s called.
Ms. Barnes: When was that?
Mr. Granville: It was after I was fired, so that would have been, I think I started
this last fall, so I started in, whenever fall is.
Ms. Barnes: Fall of ’17?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I started in August of ’17 for that job.
Ms. Barnes: And when were you terminated from TPA?
Mr. Granville: End of December, it’s like fall of ’18 for that.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
5
Mr. Granville: Sorry, it was just like a couple months ago.
Ms. Barnes: December of ’17 you were terminated from TPA, right? Last
December.
Mr. Granville: Yes, I believe so. Yeah, December of ’17, cause it was, that’s
correct, I apologize. It’s hard to keep all the dates straight.
Ms. Barnes: Sure. Can you just tell me about how that came to be, how they
approached you, what was said to you, like how did it happen that
you were terminated?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I’d be happy to tell you that.
Ms. Barnes: Explain to me what happened.
Mr. Granville: So, the last day of school, the end of the fall semester, so end of
December, I was doing finals or whatever you do on the last day
and somebody called me on the phone in the classroom and said,
hey, can you come into the school after you’re done teaching today,
come and talk to the headmaster.
Ms. Barnes: Which day was that? I’m sorry.
Mr. Granville: The last day of whenever classes were.
Ms. Barnes: Just so, the first or second week in December, somewhere in there.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I’d say like December 16 th , 17th , something like that. I
assumed I was going to get, I had a series of ongoing frustrations
with our new headmaster, they went through four headmasters in
five years, about me giving too much homework. I’m sorry, I’ve
gotten a couple of conversations about that, so I assumed it was
going to be a continuation of that or I was working with the Red for
Ed movement about teachers’ pay and about teacher equity and
they used me for a Facebook ad, so I figured it was going to be one
of those two things. When I came in, there were, the headmaster
was there, the sort of head of the teachers was there, Carissa
Drake,
Ms. Barnes: Carissa Drake?
Ms. Barnes: And who was the headmaster at the time?
6
Mr. Granville: The same one that it is now,
Ms. Barnes: That’s Rebecca’s husband?
Mr. Granville: No. We want, he was like three headmasters ago.
Ms. Barnes: Prior to that, okay.
Mr. Granville: Yeah. I can’t think of his name. I’m sorry. If it comes to me, I’
Ms. Barnes: I’ll look it up.
Mr. Granville: He’s like 6’4”, he’d be hard to miss.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: And then another guy, Keating? Whoever like this disciplinarian
guy is, I remember his name. And they basically said, hey, there
have been accusations. If we tell you the accusations, then you’ll
have either resigned or been fired, like in lieu of an investigation. If
you resign now before we tell you why you’re sitting here, then to
the whole world, we will simply say you resigned. I was totally
dumbfounded about why I was sitting in the room at all, caused that
seemed to be excessive for giving too much homework and I said
no, tell me what you got to tell me and they said well, there have
been accusations as it relates to students and so we’re going to
bring in a lawyer and you’re going to talk to the lawyer. So they all
got up and left and a lawyer came in with an associate, like a
partner with an associate.
Ms. Barnes: John Kelly?
Mr. Granville: I don’t know, but it could be, some big law firm.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: And he said tell me everything you know and I say, I don’t know
what you’re talking about. So he showed me a couple of things,
most of which I had not thought or considered or even, and he said,
what do you think about all of this and I was like, I got nothing. I
don’t know what to tell you, like this, it’s not true, I don’t remember
any of it. It’s the kind of thing that if it had happened, I would
certainly remember it and he, the whole conversation lasted 15 or
20 minutes. Like as long it took him to show me documents and for
me to be like, I don’t know what you’re talking about. He then
7
asked me to leave so he could confer with staff. I then sort of tried
to like piece together vaguely what was happening while they were
conferring. They invited me back into the room and said, you have
one more opportunity to resign and I was like, I’m not going to
resign for things that aren’t true. And he said, okay, you’re fired.
And that was the end of it and then it was only later when I, I still
don’t have, I still don’t know any of their paperwork or documents. I
don’t, like they didn’t hand me anything.
Ms. Barnes: What did they show you? What did he show you?
Mr. Granville: I’m not sure they showed me anything. He showed me one photo
of and I at a movie that we had taken together. He said, is
this you and at a movie? And I said, yeah, we dated. I
didn’t keep anything a secret.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: Like we dated for, at the time I didn’t have the dates right, but I was
like roughly this long, here’s what happened, we broke up, here’s
how we broke up. They may have like shown me there was an
email, but I don’t if I had the opportunity to even read it. And then
the termination letter I got was simply a, like you are terminated sort
of letter.
Ms. Barnes: And they handed it to you right then or
Mr. Granville: Yeah, they already had it written up.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: I said, okay. I said, give me a couple of days or a week and I’ll get
all my papers graded and get my grades in and get my stuff done.
And they were already, no, you’ve already been locked out of your
email system and out of your network folders and like the papers
are not your problem anymore. And I was like, really? Cause it’s a
Socratic discussion class and a long essay exams, how would
anyone know what we talked about to grade them and they were
like, nope, not your problem. And so I handed them a stack of
papers about that big and it was like, well, there’s at least a silver
lining, here you go, I don’t have to grade 30 hours of papers and
so, that was it. They had somebody walk me to my desk with a
box. By now, it’s like maybe 3:30 or 3:45. There’s still students on
campus. I mean it hadn’t taken that long. I put what I could in the
box, gave them my keys and that was that.
8
Ms. Barnes: And did you have then conversations with any of them after that?
Any of the administrative staff or the lawyer?
Mr. Granville: I believe I sent an email to the lawyer a day or a few days later.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: Once I even like, I didn’t even, yeah, I had no idea what I was even
defending myself against at the time because there was no
defending myself, right? It wasn’t like, go through your emails, go
put together a timeline, go show us your side, like none of that
happened. And so once I got home, over the next day or two, I
went through, you know, like my life, to try and piece together
anything and I was like, well, I think this is what I’m being accused
of and I think this is what you think this man didn’t like and so then I
put together a letter that I sent them, sent the attorney, to which he
said, you know, thank you. And that was it. Well, the only other
time I’ve talked to anyone at the school is I emailed the headmaster
asking, actually, I was trying to first roll over my retirement account
to another retirement account, but I’d missed my 30 day window, so
I couldn’t and at that point, I was getting to where I was getting to
where I was going to be kicked out of my house. I asked to
withdraw the money from hardship, a hardship withdrawal from my
retirement account that I had with them and he wrote me back and
was like no, I want proof of your hardship. Please send me a copy
of the foreclosure letter and then I’ll allow you to withdraw from your
retirement account. To which I was like, you know,
Ms. Barnes: I’m sorry, go ahead.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, because there was a, they had to acknowledge that it was a
hardship withdrawal according to them and so he wanted to see a
copy of like a bank statement or a notice that I was being
foreclosed on.
Ms. Barnes: Who was running the retirement account?
Mr. Granville: The HR person at the school, but the headmaster had to sign off on
it I guess. And so at that point, I was like, you know, life is too short
for like to have these people in my life and so I took out money out
of my City of Tempe retirement account instead.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: To pay off what I had to pay off to like keep living there.
9
Ms. Barnes: Then you’re in the same house today?
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: What part of Tempe do you live in?
Mr. Granville: On Rural, between Broadway and Southern, just south of ASU.
Actually, about a mile from the school.
Ms. Barnes: Yeah, I’m familiar. My son went to Hudson.
Mr. Granville: Oh yeah.
Ms. Barnes: Right by
Mr. Granville: It’s a great school.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, at some point did you contact the journalist who had written
an article in the Republic to discuss some of the allegations or
some of things that were written in the article?
Mr. Granville: I did not contact them. They contacted me.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: So I would say a week or two went by after I got fired.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: The counsel, my council colleagues don’t care for me at all and so I
was very careful not to talk or tell anyone because it’s just fodder
for political (Inaudible). They found out somehow anyway, so either
from the school administrators or from the people that made the
accusations, which would not be surprising, since one of them
worked on their campaigns at the time, and so they tipped off a
reporter for the Republic, who did a public records request, first of
the, I believe the Tempe Police Department, which nothing came
back, and then of the school and the school felt like, I guess, under
FOIA they had an obligation to turn over at least the emails that the
girls had sent saying like, hey I have an accusation.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: That was enough then to basically generate a story. And so then I
got a call, maybe two weeks after I got fired, from a reporter from
the Republic saying, Jerod something, saying, hey, we’re going to
10
do this story. I basically was like, it’s not true, denied all of it, just
as I had to the school and it was shortly after that time I spoke to
Julia and Julia was like, you don’t talk to any more reporters ever
about anything ever and so that was the one and only interview I
gave and it lasted about five minutes.
Ms. Barnes: And in that, you acknowledged the relationship with , but
other than that, you said all the other allegations that you were
aware of you were denying.
Mr. Granville: Yes, and I acknowledged that relationship to the school as well. I
would acknowledge it now, although I wouldn’t call it a relationship.
It was more like a non-exclusive dating, but yes.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, you said your council colleagues don’t care for you.
Ms. Barnes: Why is that?
Mr. Granville: Well, I think it varies depending on the council colleague, but I
would say generally speaking, I tend to, there’s a longer answer, I’ll
try make very short. There’s a culture in Tempe in politics, it’s been
around for a long time not to vote outside the majority. It’s sort of
like safety in numbers.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: So, almost historically, we’ve never had 6 to 1 votes. Now that’s
not to say there aren’t 6 to 1 opinions, but once it gets to 4 to 3,
then like, okay, it’s going to pass and everyone vote yes. And that
way, from a press standpoint and from a PR standpoint, nobody’s
the odd person out and nobody like gets voted out of office for like
having voted differently. I don’t agree with that philosophy and so I
have just chosen not to participate in that, so I probably represent,
it’s like a 6 to 1 vote, you know, I’m the odd person out, I would say,
that not only have I been that one person out more than all of the
other council members combined, I would say combined five times
over, so I’ve probably been the odd person out on a vote 50 times
and I would say the rest of all the council combined is maybe five.
So, consequently, it’s not a great working relationship. It also
hasn’t helped that I’m a lawyer and I talk like a lawyer.
Ms. Barnes: Do you have any specific personal issues with any of the particular
council people?
11
Mr. Granville: No, I think they’re all perfectly fine people. I think they’re just
wrapped up in this sort of tribalism that exists in politics. But I
mean like right now, Robin Arredondo Savage won’t meet with me,
literally won’t even have coffee with me. Randy Keating literally
won’t even have coffee with me. In six years, I’ve only had two
meetings with the mayor, one of which was he could yell at me and
tell me that I was doing too much. Who am I missing ? I don’t
know. It’s been like that for
Ms. Barnes: The other gal’s name. The other one that she was, that
was working on a campaign with her.
Mr. Granville: Lauren Kuby.
Ms. Barnes: Yeah, Kuby.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, yeah, she’s now the vice mayor, which I was supposed to be.
I was next in line. It’s a ceremonial position.
Ms. Barnes: How does that work next in line?
Mr. Granville: Traditionally, actually, forever, whoever is the longest serving

council member who has not yet been vice mayor becomes vice
mayor because it really is a ceremonial position, but this last time I
was up to be vice mayor and they were like no, no, we don’t like
you, so they skipped me and Lauren became the vice mayor.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: For a position that is literally like showing up and cutting ribbons at
like auto dealerships.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh. So have you had any communications with any of them
other than meetings?
Mr. Granville: No. I, when I released the app, I emailed, I texted Randy Keating,
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: to let him know because he was working on a similar app. I’d
basically given him the idea and said, I can’t get this passed, can
you work on this? He said yes. He got $20,000 to do and six
months later he hadn’t made any progress, so like a buddy and I
built it in a weekend and so as a professional courtesy, I texted him
to say, like hey, we built the app that you’ve been working on like,
just save the city 20 grand. And he sent me a really angry text
12
message about like how dare you like do what I’m doing. Even
though it was like literally I wrote the blueprints and wrote the specs
and gave it to him to propose. I was like, well, you could just say
that private business save the city 20 grand or you could be angry
and that’s the last I’ve ever spoken to him.
Ms. Barnes: When’s the last meeting, when’s the last council meeting?
Mr. Granville: Week ago from last Thursday? It might have been last Thursday.
They’re on Thursdays. I could look in my phone if you needed to
know for sure.
Ms. Barnes: No, that’s fine.
Mr. Granville: Okay.
Ms. Barnes: Just didn’t have it off the top of my head.
Mr. Granville: We do talk at meetings, I mean, like, not talk to a person,

speechified, and they speechify and they call that a meeting.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. And are you aware that there had been a ballot measure put
in place to change the maximum penalty that can happen so that
it’s no longer just a censure, that it’s going to be that they can
remove by what I think, a 5 to 2 vote? Is what it is.
Mr. Granville: Uh huh. Like convincing evidence which I going to bet somebody’s
going to tell you you have to submit when you submit this
paperwork now.
Ms. Barnes: That is not.
Mr. Granville: That’s good to know. Yes, passed yesterday.
Ms. Barnes: Yeah, I assumed it passed, but I hadn’t double checked.
Mr. Granville: Yep. That was pretty much in response to me.
Ms. Barnes: Do you believe that that is going to be implemented retroactively?
Mr. Granville: I think there’s a 50/50 chance. I think they would like to implement
it retroactively. I think given how popular I generally am among
Tempe residents, I think that they’re going to have to do a wait on
how much they want to get rid of me versus how much the fallout is
worth.
13
Ms. Barnes: Some of it, go on, I’m sorry, go ahead.
Mr. Granville: I’ve actually, I was perfectly, I wanted to actually support it and so
when they initially brought it up, I was like, clearly, people are going
to think this is about me. Why don’t you put me on the committee?
I can help write it in a way that gives me a comfort level. And they
were like no, we don’t want you on a committee. Then they came
back with it and I was like, look, there are problems with it, why
don’t you like let me work on it and like redline it so I can show you
want the problems are. And they were like, no, we don’t want you
to do that. And then when we went to vote on it, I was like, hey, I’ll
vote on it if you change this and this and this and they were like, no,
we don’t want to do that and there were things that like not having
to be retroactive. Another one is, it’s supposed to, can be removed
for moral turpitude.
Ms. Barnes: Right.
Mr. Granville: But they specially refused my request to include the language as
defined by the state, so what that means is moral turpitude means
like, what do you think moral turpitude is, like in the 1950’s, that’s
communism, in the 1980’s, that’s being gay, you know, like, those
were the two changes. The other thing that I asked is that instead
of using moral turpitude, they outline every single thing, sexual
harassment, like so that there were, they didn’t want to do any of
that.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh. So you voted no on that then.
Mr. Granville: I did, which is a shame, cause it’s a good bill, I would have liked to
have voted yes.
Ms. Barnes: And my understanding that at least one or two of them have asked
you to resign at some point during this past years when this all’s
been going on?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, for sure.
Ms. Barnes: And who?
Mr. Granville: Randy Keating has said publicly, like on Facebook and to the
press, like Kolby should resign.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
14
Mr. Granville: Back when he and I were talking a little bit, I actually asked him
why he did that, this was maybe three months ago, four months
ago and he said, this is an absolute quote, it’s amazing because it
was so surprising to me, he said, I just told my friend that you
wouldn’t survive and the sooner and harder I came out against you,
the more political points I would get for it with the public. And I was
like, well, do you want to know if it’s true? And he’s like, yeah, in
retrospect, that probably would have been the way to go. And I
was like, okay, so fair enough. Like it was literally a political choice
of like I can now be here if I just come out early and hard on you.
He’s since apologized, although I still think he’d like me to resign.
Lauren, not only has asked me to resign publicly, also privately,
when we’ve like been standing next to each other and when I was
commencing a, the introduction to like a high school spelling bee or
junior high spelling bee, or something, she was like, I don’t think
you should be here, I think it’s inappropriate for you to be around
children. Actually, it was an elementary spelling bee. And I was
like, wow, really? Like in a room of about 300 people, you don’t
think I should like even stand, she said, no, I think you should leave
right now and I’m like, except it’s my job and so no, I’m not going to.
We haven’t talked much since then.
Ms. Barnes: That was Lauren?
Ms. Barnes: Okay. All right. Let’s see. Okay, so tell me what you know about
the allegations with respect to . What is it you believe that
she emailed or said to the school that was something that you did
that she felt was inappropriate?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, not, so I know that she said that on one or two occasions that
I offered her, I don’t remember if she said she accepted it or not,
alcohol when she was underage.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And I believe that she has, I’m not actually sure, but I think there is
a sort of subtle allegation that I was grooming her when she was in
school to date her later.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. How old was she when you first started engaging with her?
Mr. Granville: The first time I met her was after she had graduated; it was at a
neighborhood association meeting.
15
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And I actually have dates for that so I’m happy to give you a piece
of paper with the dates. So it would have been October 15 th . I
didn’t know who she was at the time. She was just like, oh, you’re,
because I was like a council member, I was in the (Inaudible) area,
and she wanted to go eat food and so we went and ate food and
that is the last I spoke to her until April of 16, so six months later.
And then we went out in April one or two times, I don’t think that
many times.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And then we both went away for the summer cause she went
places with her family; I went to Iceland and all that. And then we
continued, when I got back, we went on a couple more dates from
like August or September of 16 to probably the end of 16 or maybe
the first month of 17, January, 17.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, so
Mr. Granville: So all total eight or ten dates spread out over, what is that, like six
months or something.
Ms. Barnes: All right, so if she said that it was you who first asked to meet for
coffee or lunch, you disagree with that?
Mr. Granville: I don’t have a memory one way or the other.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: It would have been out of character for me to ask her for coffee or
lunch, just cause I meet so many people, it would be odd for me to
be like, let’s go for coffee, but I don’t have a memory one way or
the other.
Ms. Barnes: And then it says that you asked her to, my understanding is that
she says that you asked her to go to a movie and that she didn’t at
that time, but then a couple months later she says she saw you at
the State of the Neighborhood meeting and that was April of 16 and
that you started dating a week later.
Mr. Granville: I don’t know. I meet a lot of people. It doesn’t ring a bell at all. We
did go to a few movies. I don’t know what the timeframe of that
would have been, I just don’t have any independent recollection as
to that. I don’t remember meeting her at the State of the
16
Neighborhood meeting. It is, but I meet like 50 people a day, so I
don’t know, but
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: But Aprilish of 16 sounds about right for when we went out for the
first time.
Ms. Barnes: But she indicates that you started dating right after that, a week
later. Your recollection is that it didn’t happen.
Mr. Granville: We went out on a date.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: So I think, this is the stem of like all of the issues. I think she thinks
we were in a relationship and that’s I think where the problem came
in.
Ms. Barnes: Well, tell me about that. What do you mean?
Mr. Granville: So I went out on like probably eight or ten dates with her over a six
month period, meaning we probably went out once a month or
twice a month at best. I was dating other people. I was seeing
other people. I certain didn’t keep it a secret. I encouraged her to
date and see other people, like, and when I realized, hey, this isn’t
going to turn into an actual relationship, I exited our dating.
Ms. Barnes: And so she, at that time, was 19?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I think so. She would have been a sophomore at ASU.
Ms. Barnes: And it was a physical relationship, physically intimate?
Mr. Granville: Uh huh.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Did you tell her to, well, you don’t think it was a relationship?
Do you never referred to it as a relationship with her?
Mr. Granville: Absolutely not.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Did you tell her that she needed to not share that she was
dating you with other people?
Mr. Granville: Yes.
17
Ms. Barnes: And why is that?
Mr. Granville: Same reason you can’t be a communist in the 1950’s. Same
reason you can’t be gay in the 1980’s. My life exists the way it
exists now because I was dating her.
Ms. Barnes: Well, then, so that’s before any of this came out or any of this
happened, what was your thinking then as to why you were telling
her to keep it quiet?
Mr. Granville: Because something can be permissible to do, but not socially
acceptable to do.
Ms. Barnes: You were concerned that she had previously been a student at
TPA; you were concerned about her age, both? What were your
concerns?
Mr. Granville: It’s a good question. I’d have to like think about it. I think I was
concerned that it would be used for political fodder is my best
explanation.
Ms. Barnes: Had you dated other women in that same age range during that
time? When you said you were dating several other people.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I doubt it. I would say no. That’s not really, that’s, that’s,
that’s like one of the reasons we broke up though, I broke up with
her, it’s just like, you’re too young, it’s not working, this is a bad life
choke for me. No, my girlfriend now is 34 and that’s a much better
age range for me. We have more to talk about.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh. So, when you were dating, any time during that timeframe
when you were dating those other women, they were older? They
weren’t that same age or?
Mr. Granville: For sure older. I would day on average between 32 and 40.
Ms. Barnes: All right. Did you tell her that you could get fired from TPA if
somebody found out that you were dating?
Mr. Granville: I don’t recall, but I believed I could have been fired if someone
found out we were dating, because I’m an at will employee and a
charter school makes it money based on the number of children
attend the school and so, yes, I would have believed at that time
that the school for have fired me for exactly the reason they fired
me, because it’s just bad press.
18
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: So I don’t want to keep going back to this example, but in my mind
it’s akin to if a teacher were found out to have HIV in the 80’s or
90’s.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: Like is it illegal to have HIV? No. Would the school fire you? Yes.
That’s, so I think that was my reasoning, although I don’t know if we
specifically had that conversation or not.
Ms. Barnes: Did you engage with, wait, so you say you didn’t recall knowing her
or ever meeting her while she was a student at TPA?
Mr. Granville: She has told, she told me when we were dating, after we’d gone
out for four or five dates, that I had spoken to her once when she
was at school. But I don’t recall it. It was, you know, a school full
of people and so at some point apparently I said hello or said
something.
Ms. Barnes: And that was it.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: I can tell you what her recollection of it is, although I don’t have any
recollection of it. I just read it now.
Ms. Barnes: Sure.
Mr. Granville: Her recollection of it was she said something to me and I said oh,
hello or something like that. And she said, did you like my prom
dress at homecoming or whatever the event was. And you know,
I’m not going to be like no, so I think I just was like yeah, sure, it
was great. I think that is her recollection of the conversation we
had, although I don’t recall it at all.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Did you engage with students on social media while you
were still teaching?
Mr. Granville: No, that’d be a really bad choice. I should make an addendum to
that though.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
19
Mr. Granville: I had a Facebook page for each of my classes where I would post
links to PDF’s to like homework assignments, cause it was a
Socratic discussion class, so there’s not textbook.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: So, like if we were reading Federalist #10, I might post it so people
could download it if they were sick or absent. I would also take a
picture of the board before I’d erase it every day, every time, and
then I would post all of those photos of the board to the Facebook
page so that you didn’t have to take notes in class, so you could
just look at the photos I took before I erased the board every time.
Ms. Barnes: But then how could somebody on Facebook see that information?
Would they have first to like your page in order to have access to it
or would they have to be friended with you?
Mr. Granville: It wasn’t my personal page; it was like a group I created.
Ms. Barnes: Right.
Mr. Granville: It was like TPA Class 9 th Grade, or whatever.
Ms. Barnes: but in order to follow sometimes those pages, you have to either
like that page if it’s a business kind of page or you have to friend
the person.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I don’t know if it was a page or a group, but it was one of
those.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I don’t know how I did it anymore. Actually, I think it was
probably a group.
Ms. Barnes: Did you, so at that time you had Facebook pages for the classes,
did you have your own Facebook page?
Mr. Granville: Two of them, I had the city one, that’s like a public figure page,
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: and I have a personal one.
Ms. Barnes: And at that time you did as well?
20
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: In 1203ish?
Mr. Granville: Yep, from the time I was in, yeah.
Ms. Barnes: Okay and what about Instagram? At what point do you recall
getting Instagram?
Mr. Granville: I don’t know, probably was 30 or 14.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. And then what about Twitter?
Mr. Granville: I barely use Twitter, so probably, I don’t know, I would guess 13 or
14, but it may have been even before I was in council.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, and what about Snapchat?
Mr. Granville: Probably 14 or 15.
Ms. Barnes: Did you ever request to follow a student at TPA after you had been
terminated?
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: And who was that?
Mr. Granville: There would be more than one.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, and why was that?
Mr. Granville: Typically, they would have asked to follow me and I would have
followed them back after I was terminated.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: I also don’t even run my own personal Facebook page a lot. I have
friends that log in and like make it seem like I’m interacting with
people, so they’ll go and look at other people’s pages that I’m
friends with and hit Like or like make a comment that is generic
enough that I can fake it in the event I bump into that person.
Ms. Barnes: Who do you have do that for you?
Mr. Granville: It has changed over time.
21
Ms. Barnes: Well, let’s start, let’s say this year, in 2018.
Mr. Granville: I don’t know if I had anyone do it in 2018. I’d have to look pretty
hard to figure that out. I don’t know.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. So if somebody who is an 8 th grader TPA said that you
requested to follow her on Instagram, do you have any recollection
of that in particular?
Mr. Granville: No, I wouldn’t know one way or the other. I mean I generally follow
people back who follow me because like the whole point of a
politician is to accumulate people that are interested in you.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh. And so that was going to be my next question. What’s the
purpose?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, that’s the purpose. I mean, that is the purpose of social
media is to have people feel like they’ve developed a personal
connection with you so that they can email or contact you when
their streetlight burned out.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Back to . She indicates that you were in a

relationship, that she asked you at some point if you could love her
and you told her no and at that point, she ended the relationship.
That’s not how you recall it?
Mr. Granville: No, but I believe that is how she recalls it.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: No, the way it actually went was this, was at some point, after we
had been going out for a while, it occurred, a few things occurred to
me, number one that was not going to pan out for a
relationship and that she was extremely volatile mentally and that
she could go really south really quickly and so I contacted a friend
of mine and we sat down and I was like, look, here’s my problem,
what do I do? And we chatted for a while and he’s like, you gotta
like gently get out of this and so over a period of three weeks to a
month maybe, I sort of helped come to the understanding
that we probably shouldn’t be dating, so I’m not necessarily
surprised she thought it was her idea. But that was sort of my
purpose.
Ms. Barnes: Why do you say she was volatile emotionally?
22
Mr. Granville: Well I have a really clear memory one time where she started
crying at 9:00 at night.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: I woke up at 1:00 and she was still crying. I woke up at 3:00 and
she was still crying. And when I went to go to work at 7 AM, she
was still crying. I’m pretty sure she went on like a 13 hour stint, 14
hour stint. That was not uncommon .
Ms. Barnes: And what was she crying for?
Mr. Granville: I’m not even sure she could tell you. I’ve had times where she
texted me or whatever, some communication to me and I was
driving; I didn’t respond and it went from like, Hey, something, why
aren’t you responding? What are you doing? Are we not friends
anymore? And it just like and so by the time I have a clear memory
of literally pulling over on the side of like a freeway to be like, I am
driving, 30 text messages or whatever the conversation was. I’m
driving, when I’m not driving, I will respond. Yeah, that was not
terribly uncommon .
Ms. Barnes: Okay. And so you said, you never provided her alcohol while you
guys were dating.
Mr. Granville: No, no. I’m quite sure of that. Actually, one time, here’s one of the
reasons why I have a really clear memory of it. One, because it’s a
stupid thing to do if you’re in politics, and number two, because at
one point she had a cold and I gave her Theraflu and she was
loopy on Theraflu. Like she like was light headed.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And I was like, okay, if Theraflu is a problem, like, but it’s also just a
really stupid thing to do if you’re in politics.
Ms. Barnes: Did you ever see her drink alcohol with you that you didn’t give her?
Mr. Granville: I saw her drunk. She called me from a party once and I think I went
and picked her up because she didn’t, something about her not
being able to get home or whatever so she asked if I would pick her
up. I think that’s the only time I ever saw her drunk that I can recall.
Ms. Barnes: But I mean did you see her drinking? You never saw her drink
alcohol in your presence other than that.
23
Mr. Granville: No. Actually I didn’t see her drink that time either, I just saw her
drunk.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. All right. Talk about .
Ms. Barnes: What are you, what is your understanding of what her allegations or
emails or whatever it was are?
Mr. Granville: It’s a little confusing, but the best that I understand the allegation is
that I provided her alcohol.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And that at some point she was at my house and I tried to put my
hand down her pants.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: Although the details of how that would even happen are, I don’t
know, but somehow supposedly it happen.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, and so you deny those things.
Mr. Granville: You know, I’m sure of that one and I can tell you why. So once,
when the school interviewed me, I didn’t even understand like what
they’re talking about. Like I didn’t, like I remember, I specifically
remember asking them like, can you give me a timeframe, can you
give me a location, can you give me anything? They couldn’t give
me any of that.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: I sensed, once I read the newspaper articles and sort of pieced
together that stuff, what I realized was specifically what date it was,
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And I went and pulled like my old email and she had sent me an
email the very next day actually and the email said, generally
speaking, hey, they’re still trying to work out the combination of my
anti-depressant bipolar medication. I’m really struggling. I really
didn’t appreciate, I took hard the feedback that you gave me about
my lifestyle choices, cause she like was like this and I left hoping
that you would chase after me and apologize for like criticizing me
24
and that was really silly of me to do and I’m sorry that, that I left.
That is the email I got the next day based on what she say
happened the night before and it doesn’t mention trying to put my
hand down her pants; it doesn’t mention sex stuff; it doesn’t
mention, it literally say like I didn’t like that you were criticizing life
choices and so I left.
Ms. Barnes: And when you say she was like this, what do you mean?
Mr. Granville: She, not to the extent that does, but she’s also on a
cocktail of medication.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: That has changed off and on and depending on how they get that
medication correct, she has struggled.
Ms. Barnes: But when you say lifestyle choices or when she said that, what is
she talking about, what do you think she’s talking about?
Mr. Granville: She, she’s gay, which also makes the allegations really kind of
comical, like super gay, like never kissed a boy gay, like gay from
the time she was like born. And she had been serially bouncing
from like girlfriend to girlfriend to girl and so the conversation that
we had, the best I can recall, is me talking to her about, like hey
maybe you’re like using these people for, to help yourself feel better
and maybe you should focus on like being the person you want to
be.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And then go date as opposed to dating to try to and make it the
person you want to be. We later, cause we were friends even after
this for three years after this instance happened, and later we
actually, we made, I made a bet with her that if she could focus on
herself and not date for I think it was like three months or six
months that I’d get her a record player and she won the bet and so
I like drove to Tucson and dropped off a record player for her.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, so she, did she ever share a bed with you at your house?
Mr. Granville: I don’t think so, although we did share, we had shared beds before.
I shared a bed with her when we were in San Francisco; I shared a
bed with her when I was in Tucson riding Mount Lemon the next
morning.
25
Ms. Barnes: You stayed with her at her dorm or apartment.
Mr. Granville: Apartment, yeah.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh. But you don’t recall if you shared a bed with her at your
house in Tempe.
Mr. Granville: I don’t think we ever did, because I have a couch at my house so
there would have been no reason for us to share a bed.
Ms. Barnes: And did you ever drink with , alcohol?
Mr. Granville: She drank. I did not drink.
Mr. Granville: .
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Ms. Barnes: And also a . He the subject I did.

And so I had had previous conversations with her that he
thought the alcohol age in America were stupid and they should be
18 like they are in and I was like it’s none of my business
and so at least one occasion I was at his house and he was hosting
her friends and they were all in varying degrees of age from 18 to
21 or 18 to 20 and they were drinking and I was there. I think he
was there too. At one point, I was, invited me to Tucson to
a party and she was drinking there, although I was not and then
some time in Phoenix, she invited me to a party with some friends
of hers and there was drinking going on and I felt uncomfortable
and I left after about a half an hour.
Ms. Barnes: And you didn’t bring alcohol to her at any of those situation.
Mr. Granville: No. definitely not.
Ms. Barnes: And she’s been to your house, though, correct?
Mr. Granville: On several occasions, yes.
Ms. Barnes: And did she ever drink alcohol at your house?
Mr. Granville: I don’t believe so, but if she did, she would have provided, she
would have brought it with her, but I don’t even recall that having
26
happened. I generally don’t drink. Like if I have one drink a month,
it’s a big month.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, and so if she alleges that more than you just tried to put your
hand down her pants, that you actually put your hand down her
pants in your bed and fingered her and actually penetrated her.
You, that didn’t happen.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I’m sure that didn’t happen.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Did you talk with her about women having sex with men
when they’re gay?
Mr. Granville: I don’t know. I don’t know why I would. I don’t know why a gay
woman would have sex with a dude, but
Ms. Barnes: Well, to talk with her about sex in general.
Mr. Granville: We talked as friends, yeah. I mean I talked about who I was dating;
she talked about who she was dating.
Ms. Barnes: How often did she come to your house?
Mr. Granville: Not very often because she was going to school at U of A. She
since has dropped out. I would guess three to five times and
probably another three to five times to pick up stuff off of the patio,
like I’m just like leaving paperwork for you or something.
Ms. Barnes: Cause she graded papers for you, right?
Mr. Granville: I think so.
Ms. Barnes: And she worked on your campaign?
Mr. Granville: In 2016, although I didn’t recall at the time I did the interview with
the paper, but once I went back and looked up the records, yeah. I
was emailing her stuff to work on from Tucson.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, and she worked on your sister’s campaign?
Mr. Granville: I think we talked about it. I’m not sure she actually did any work.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, and when did you meet ?
Mr. Granville: The first time I met her was at the Pat Tillman Run. I was waiting in
the corral like to run by myself.
27
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: Her mom recognized me and I talked to her mom and I think I
would have talked to her at that time and then I talked to her dad
because her dad and I asked her dad
if she would be interested in coming out o cross country cause
there were no, I was coaching cross country and there were no sort
of women role models and so I wanted to have a woman out there
running so that younger girls could see a woman running. I don't
think that ever panned out, but we did talk about it. I don't think she
ever came to practice. But from that discussion of asking her to
come out, we started talking a little bit online.
Ms. Barnes: So that was while she was a student?
Mr. Granville: No. It would have been after she graduated.
Ms. Barnes: So was she already at the U of A at that point?
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: So when I first met her, it would have been at the Tillman Run,
which is in the spring and then her and I started talking. Like I
didn't talk to her at the Tillman Run, like I like, was like, oh, this is
my daughter . I think the first interaction we probably ever
had would have been the summer after she graduated.
Ms. Barnes: Which is 13.
Mr. Granville: That sounds about right.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Are you familiar with someone named ?A

friend of
Mr. Granville: No, I mean maybe if I saw a picture, but the name doesn't ring a
bell.
Ms. Barnes: She was, she knew her at U of A.
Mr. Granville: Oh, . I didn't know that was her last name, but yeah, I know
Ms. Barnes: How do you know
28
Mr. Granville: When I was visitingin Tucson or (Inaudible), I wasn't
visiting, somehow in Tucson or something, I met
Ms. Barnes: Did you date
Mr. Granville: I did not. was super clear about that.
Ms. Barnes: Did you try to date
Mr. Granville:
E l wanted to date
•
, so asked me not to date
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: That didn't work out well on account ofnot being gay, but
specifically told me don't interact with because
I'm going to date her.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, but you didn't ask out while you were down there?
Mr. Granville: I don't know, I would have, I don't know what the timing, I wouldn't,
whenever would have talked to me and said like don't mess
with her,
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: so I don't know if I would ever before and I had that
conversation.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: Needless to say, and I never went out.
Ms. Barnes: All right. Okay, what do you know about , is it
Mr. Granville:
Ms. Barnes: , okay.
Mr. Granville: Not much.
Ms. Barnes: Tell me about
Mr. Granville: Not much, so the, I started in the spring that summer I got an email
or a phone call or something, maybe it was in the following fall, I
29
don’t actually remember, but like after that year had finished, I got,
somehow or another, got set up with , who said,
hey, I’ve got a friend of mine, you guys would get along really well,
you guys should hang out. I went okay. So and I, I emailed
, we went out. We did get along pretty well, for coffee I think is
what we went to maybe.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: On the third or fourth time we went out, I asked her if she wanted to
come to my place. She came, she was like, yeah, it’d be great.
Came to my place. We went up on the roof of my house and we
were talking and she was talking and she was like, oh yeah, when I
start school in the spring. I was like start school in the spring, what
are you talking about. She’s like well I’m going to start ASU in the
spring and I’m like graduate school? She’s like, no, undergrad.
And I was like what you were in the military, like what happened?
She’s like, no, I just graduate from Tempe Prep last spring and I’m
not going to go to school this fall, I’m going to go the following
spring. I was like what? I didn’t know you went to Tempe Prep.
She went to Tempe Prep. I said how old are you? She said 17.
You got to go. I was really upset. I have a really clear memory of
that and so she argued that it was okay for a few minutes, argued
that her parents would be okay with it for another minute or two. I
have a really clear memory like verbatim, she said my parents
would be fine with it to which my exact response was, then you
have bad parents and I asked her to leave and she was pretty
upset and I said, look, if you want to try to get together as friends in
a year or two, I’m happy to do that, but you got to go, and so that
was that. And then either called or spoke to the
next day or two after that and tried to convey to her what a really
horrible situation she put me in and she never really understood.
Ms. Barnes: What do you mean?
Mr. Granville: I don’t think she understood how south that could have gone, right?
Like this is a person that you’re setting me up what I thought was a
blind date with, which I assumed was like 26 or 28 years old or
something. I could have offered her a beer; I could have tried to
kiss her; I could have done a million things before she said, by the
way, I’m 17, all of which would have put me in jail. And so you
basically put me in the most perilous position I could be in and did it
totally like stupidly unknowingly like, I was very upset.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, well then, two questions. Why did she say she did it?
30
Mr. Granville: She said like I didn’t mean it that way or I didn’t know or she didn’t
have a great answer. Like I was pretty upset, so it wasn’t like a
conversation exactly.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh. Well, was she suggesting that she wasn’t trying to set you
up with her or she just didn’t think it was a big deal that she was
just graduated from high school?
Mr. Granville: I think a little column A and a little column B, but again, it wasn’t
exactly like a rational back and forth conversation.
Ms. Barnes: When you met, so this was fall of 13.
Mr. Granville: Correct.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, and so when you met her for coffee, did you ask her to go
bike riding the next week?
Mr. Granville: I don’t know. It’s possible.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Did you meet her for brunch after that, the Yucca Tap
Room?
Mr. Granville: I don’t know. I don’t recall what our dates were, I’m sorry.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Dinner at a middle eastern restaurant? Don’t remember?
Mr. Granville: I mean I wouldn’t dispute it. I just have any memory, independent
memory of it.
Ms. Barnes: Did she tell that the reason she was contacting you was to get
travel books from you to go to, because she was going on a trip to
Germany?
Mr. Granville: I have later read about it, but I don’t recall that as the reason we
were meeting.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. And didn’t say that when you talked to her. She
didn’t say, hey, I was just telling her to call you to get travel books
or talk to you about her trip?
Mr. Granville: No, my recollection is that she said there’s someone that I think
you’d get along with really well you should meet.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. When you were on the roof with , did you have any
physical contact with her?
31
Mr. Granville: She had her head on my chest.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And her, like her hand draped over me. I was laying on my back.
Ms. Barnes: You’re on your back; she’s laying next to you with her head on your
chest.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, that thing that like girls do.
Ms. Barnes: (Inaudible)
Mr. Granville: Women do, whatever. You know what I mean. It’s the, you know,
where it’s like you’re on your back and the person’s like resting her
head on your chest and they got their arm draped over you.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. And, so you’re in that physical arrangement with her
Ms. Barnes: and then at some point then is when you learned that she only 17
or after she gets up?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, and actually, when she told me that, the very next words out
of her mouth were, I can feel how fast your heart is beating and
that’s when I sat up and I was like, yeah, you got to go. Like, of
course, like I have a really clear memory of all of this.
Ms. Barnes: Tell me what she said.
Mr. Granville: Like she told me that and I was like what? And like she’s, wow, I
can feel your heart’s beating so fast now and I’m like, yeah, yeah, it
definitely is because this is really bad. You have to go and then we
had another 90 second conversation before I like got her to go.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh. And you didn’t say anything to her about now, I can’t kiss
you or now that I know you’re 17, I can’t kiss you, something along
those lines?
Mr. Granville: No, it was not a humorous moment in my life.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Did she take travel books with her when she left your
house? Did she have any books that you loaned her?
32
Mr. Granville: I have read that that is the case, but I don’t recall that at all. I don’t
recall us ever, you know, interacting again, ever talking again. I
know she has a whole other scenario about she came over to my
house to return books, like I’ve read all that in the police report, I
don’t have any recollection of that. And it doesn’t actually make
any sense because I don’t know why she wouldn’t have just left the
book like in my mailbox, under the door mat, like in a million
different places, like I don’t understand any of that and I certainly
don’t have any memory of it. So, I, it’s possible it happened, but it
was a totally unmemorable moment for me.
Ms. Barnes: Well, but you said the rest of that moment was very clear,
Mr. Granville: Oh, yeah, for sure.
Ms. Barnes: But you don’t remember if you loaned her any books?
Mr. Granville: I don’t know. We’re now going back six years.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Ms. Barnes: 5 1/2 years. So no I don’t recall. I’ve read her report of it, but no I
don’t recall.
Ms. Barnes: Did you own travel books?
Mr. Granville: I own many travel books. I travel a lot.
Ms. Barnes: Did you own travel books pertaining to Germany?
Mr. Granville: No.
Ms. Barnes: Europe?
Mr. Granville: No.
Ms. Barnes: What kind of travel books?
Mr. Granville: I own individual country travel books for countries I intend to go to.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: Some where I’ve been to because I save them for memorabilia, so
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
33
Mr. Granville: Iceland, Morocco, India, Peru, Bolivia, but I’ve never, I’m positive
I’ve never bought a travel book for Germany. I’m positive I’ve never
bought a travel book for Europe. The Germany one because I have
no interest in going to Germany and the Europe one, because
when you buy a book for an entire region, it doesn’t have any level
of detail.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh. Did you have Facebook contact with her after she left that
night?
Mr. Granville: Not after she left. I believe a year or two later when I was in
Morocco, she randomly messaged me when I was in Morocco,
because she was in England.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And we had a brief discussion at this point, this was maybe a few
years after, because she wanted to come to Morocco and visit me
and I was like, mmm, we’ll see, moving around a lot. I’m not really
in one city for very long.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And I think that was like two or three messages back and forth.
That was the end of it.
Ms. Barnes: Well, did you have, exchange messages with her shortly after she
turned 18 or on her 18 th birthday?
Mr. Granville: I think I did. I think I wished her a happy birthday.
Ms. Barnes: And so you know, you’ve read her part where she says she came in
briefly to return these travel books and that you kissed her and you
are saying that didn’t happen at all?
Mr. Granville: I’ve read that. I’m sure that did not happen.
Ms. Barnes: Are you sure that she didn’t come in or are you sure that she didn’t
come back?
Mr. Granville: I don’t recall any of what she’s saying. Like the first time I heard it
was when I heard it because Tempe Prep told it to me when I was
getting fired was the first I’d heard it.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
34
Mr. Granville: I since read it. I don’t have any recollection of it. It wouldn’t, it
would be very out of character and just logically it doesn’t make
much sense.
Ms. Barnes: Why?
Mr. Granville: Well, one, there are three doors exiting my living room. There’s a
front door, a garage door to the carport and a back sliding back
door and her allegation is that somehow by looking in my eyes she
could tell she couldn’t leave, which is absurd.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: I’m like 140 pounds. And there are three exits. Additionally, I don’t
why she would come into the house to return a book. I don’t, none
of it makes any sense at all, but I don’t have any recollection of it
either way, it just doesn’t logically make any sense. And she’s
never recounted any of this to me until I read about it in the paper.
Ms. Barnes: Does she identify as gay when you knew her? During that time?
Mr. Granville: Yes. Although she, at some point I believe, said that she wanted to
date me because she wanted to date a guy or wanted to date me or
something like that.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I don’t exactly know the details, but it was grayer then. Like
when she was at Tempe Prep, I’m told, she had a reputation for
being gay and now I have no idea what all that is. I have no idea.
Ms. Barnes: Well, how did you respond to her when she suggested to you that
she was interested in dating you?
Mr. Granville: Before I knew she was 17? I was like, yeah, let see how it goes,
like go on three or four dates and there’s chemistry, there’s not
chemistry.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Did you ever have a discussion about with ?
Mr. Granville: Probably much later, I think we did.
Ms. Barnes: What was that discussion?
35
Mr. Granville: didn’t think very highly of because had been,
according to , this all just sort of second hand information,
particularly cruel to her when she was at Tempe Prep.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And so had basically told me like this is a horrible person,
you wouldn’t want to date them anyway or something like that.
Which at that point it was a moot point, but I, and I have no idea on
the timeline, I just know at some point told me like this is a
horrible human being.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: Steer clear.
Ms. Barnes: And did you ever suggest to that you didn’t even find
attractive?
Mr. Granville: It would be a weird thing to say about someone I went on a couple
of dates with.
Ms. Barnes: That’s why I’m asking you.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I don’t know. It seems unlikely, but
Ms. Barnes: But you don’t have a clear memory one way or the other?
Mr. Granville: No.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Are you familiar with the City Council’s code of conduct?
Mr. Granville: Oh, intimately.
Ms. Barnes: Prior one. I don’t know what’s been changed now, so I’m talking
about before this last month. And you’re familiar that the council’s
code of conduct implements the City of Tempe personnel rules.
Mr. Granville: I wasn’t in 2013, but I am now.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. It was adopted in 2009 and it references the specific
portions of the City of Tempe personnel rules that are implemented
for the city council members to follow.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, I’m aware of it now.
36
Ms. Barnes: Okay. You weren’t aware of it, when did you become aware of it?
Mr. Granville: The first time I had a code of ethics violation filed against me.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. And that was for one of the times you said something
profane?
Ms. Barnes: Yeah, I had a lawyer that was giving me candidly advice that was
the level of malpractice.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And I said, I was trying to be polite, and I said, look, can you just
give me your write up. I just need to go through and see, like read
the cases that you’re reading and she said, it was after like an hour
meeting, and she said, oh, I don’t have any cases, this is just
common knowledge, to which I responded, if you’re going to give
me a shitty legal opinion, you should at least put it in writing. She
filed, she did not file an ethics complaint against me. She
complained to her co-workers about me
Ms. Barnes: She was an assistant City of Tempe attorney?
Mr. Granville: Yes. She complained to her co-workers about me that she was
considering filing a complaint against me. The water cooler
conversation made its way to our chief legal counsel, Judy
something, Judy Bowman? Bowman? Who then sua sponte
decided that hint of litigation was enough to trigger an ethics
complaint, so then they did an ethics review in anticipation of
litigation to find out what their exposure was. That then led to me
having an ethics violation and then somehow managed to have it
so that their entire review was made public, even though it was
initiated in anticipated of litigation.
Ms. Barnes: Were you censured or what was the ramification of this violation?
Mr. Granville: I had to write an apology letter and I believe I was given a formal
Letter of Reprimand.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, and then the other time you referred to a constituent using
profanity.
Mr. Granville: I don’t think I used profanity.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
37
Mr. Granville: On my personal Facebook page, I posted, he follows me around
and takes photos of me. It’s kind of like his thing and like you can
go to his web page now, there will be 30 posted on me the last two
days. Just like his main hobby. And some point he took a photo of
me and somebody sent it to me and was like, took a really
good photo of you and so I posted on my personal Facebook page
the downside being on council is that you get psycho stalkers, the
upside is they take really good photos. And a friend of mine called
me within 45 minutes and was like, hey, you know, psycho has
become like a buzzword, like, you know, it’s switched from being a
term to being a derogatory.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: I was like, oh, I didn’t know that and so I took it down about a half
an hour later on my own. I changed it.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: In that time somebody had already screen captured it and sent it to
him. He filed an ethics company and the whole ethics thing.
Ms. Barnes: Yeah, I’ve read him. What’s his deal with you?
Mr. Granville: I don’t actually think I have the First Amendment rights anymore to
say that. That is the true answer.
Ms. Barnes: Say that again.
Mr. Granville: The council and our attorneys have determined that I don’t have the
First Amendment rights to say things. That is a true statement.
Because, for example, I said I think that he is mentally unstable. If,
according to our code of ethics contract, that is something that any
person, not even you all, but like a third person listening in thought
that that was offensive in a subjective, not objective, manner, then I
have committed a code of ethics violation.
Ms. Barnes: Right. Al right, so let me ask you this. Are you aware of any
particular incident that has occurred that would cause this
gentleman to have an issue with you?
Mr. Granville: I have a theory, but I don’t have a specific instance. When I initially
ran for office the first time in 2012, he, I was endorsed by the mayor
at the time, Hugh Hallman, he didn’t like Hugh Hallman because he
worked with firefighters and Hugh Hallman was trying to sort of
basically get rid of pension bloating and so he was sort of the
38
person designated to be like the full time curmudgeon on Hugh
Hallman. I, when Hugh endorsed me, I inherited him. And I’ve
inherited him ever since. Actually met, before I understood what he
was, I actually met with him once to just be like hey, let’s have
coffee. Like you have concerns and I don’t think I’m doing my job
perfectly, so tell me what I should be focusing on. And he showed
up with a badly hidden tape recorder, which he could have tape
recorded the conversation anyway and proceeded to talk to me
about like why did Hugh, all of these things that are relevant, like
why did Hallman endorse you and blah, blah, blah. And then he
just sort of stormed off after like ten minutes. It was like a very, like,
ah, kind of conversation he was having practically with himself,
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: and it’s been like that ever since. I’ve since had to file, I had him
drive by my house. I’ve had him waiting in a parking lot of my car
at night. I filed a police report about that. And if you look at his
Facebook page, he, if I were not a public figure, I would absolutely
sue him for defamation/slander, but I really have no rights to do that
as a public figure.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. I should have said this at the beginning, I made the
announcement of, that it’s the time and the date and we’re doing
this interview, but I didn’t say clearly that you’ve agreed to have the
conversation recorded, so if you could just acknowledge that
Ms. Barnes: on this recording.
Mr. Granville: Not a problem at all.
Ms. Barnes: And that you, in fact, said you preferred to have it recorded.
Mr. Granville: I do prefer to have it recorded.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: That way there’s no question about what I said.
Ms. Barnes: And I’ll just send you a follow up email, Julia, just to say that was,
we put that on the record and.
Ms. Cassels: Sounds good.
39
Ms. Barnes: I don’t have any issues, I just thought of that/
Mr. Granville: Yeah, no worries.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, so you became, at some point, familiar with these rules and
you’re familiar with, okay, so there are a couple of rules, one that
say, it is a violation and grounds for disciplinary action, including
dismissal, that’s obviously talking about employees, but for
anybody on the council then who has been abusive in attitude,
language, behavior or conduct towards another employee or the
public?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, don’t tell you kid to quit, like don’t yell at your kid in a grocery
store.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, engage in behavior that has resulted in physical harm or
threat thereof to another employee or the public?
Mr. Granville: Yep.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Engage in behavior that does not meet a reasonable
standard of workplace civility and respect in his or her interactions
with other employees or the public.
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Do you believe that any of your conduct has crossed the
lines of those three rules that I just read?
Mr. Granville: I don’t think in any of the instances that I was cited for or this one, I
don’t think I have.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. My understanding was that there was also a state bar
investigation, at least discussed, because you also have an
attorney license. Do you know anything about that?
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: And what, what do you know?
Mr. Granville: That it is pending.
Ms. Barnes: Still.
40
Ms. Barnes: You participated in responding to it. Have you done through your
lawyer, on your own?
Mr. Granville: Through a different lawyer. Julia doesn’t do bar complaints.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Which lawyer did you use or have used?
Mr. Granville: I don’t know. I could look it up, but basically it was I met with them
for like a couple hundred bucks for like an hour, told them what
happened and they were like, this is stupid. Call me if you need an
actual lawyer someday, but this is not a big deal. And then at some
point, I believe, I have to provide a written response and I paid
them or a different lawyer to review my written response.
Mr. Granville: Six, eight months ago.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, so let me, if you could provide, I don’t want to ask you any
more questions about that, obviously, because you’re represented
and so I can’t and it’s not her, so if you could provide me the name
of that attorney, I would appreciate it.
Mr. Granville: Sure.
Ms. Barnes: If you don’t know it right now off the top of your head, let her know
and she can forward it to me.
Mr. Granville: Yeah. It’s actually at the bottom of the letter, she included her
name at the bottom of the letter. She previously worked for the
State Bar’s investigation things so, she now consults.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. And so your understanding is that the State Bar
investigation is still pending.
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Have you taken any legal action against Tempe Prep for
your termination?
Mr. Granville: No, but in retrospect, I wish I had.
Ms. Barnes: Why?
Mr. Granville: I was hopeful that I would get to continue to be a teacher cause it’s
what I like and love and honestly it’s what I’m really good at, like
41
really good at, as opposed to just try hard. And so my hope was
that I could continue teaching and so that I thought if I just generally
keep my head down that maybe I could keep teaching. I’m not
going to keep teaching.
Ms. Barnes: Why?
Mr. Granville: Well, one, I have a pending discussion with the Board of Education.
Ms. Barnes: That was my next question.
Mr. Granville: Additionally, yeah, I figured it would be. Additionally, who would
hire me? Like you Google my name and like, done. I’ve had three
job offers revoked, offered and then revoked over the last year.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: One at ASU. We were talking about this earlier, I couldn’t
remember the third one. One at a like an edutainment gaming
company, that does you know education and entertainment for kids.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And then a third one at another like charter school, at Great Hearts
Charter School. In all three cases, I was literally offered the job and
then like three days later had it revoked. I’ve since had people call
jobs that I’ve been at to try to get me fired from my jobs.
Realistically, I will never work as a teacher again.
Ms. Barnes: So what’s going on with the Board of Education? Let me ask you
this, are you represented?
Mr. Granville: I had a lawyer assist me with my response, but it was a limited
engagement.
Ms. Barnes: So you’re not represented now.
Mr. Granville: That is correct.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, so you’re free to talk to me about it.
Mr. Granville: Sure.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Go ahead, tell me what’s going on with the Board of
Education.
42
Mr. Granville: Prior to me leaving, so I have a teaching certificate and a master’s
in education as well. Because at charter schools you don’t need a
teaching certificate and so while I have taken the classes, taken
exams to be highly qualified in, I might get some of these wrong,
history, English, economics, government, something else,
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: like I’ve taken all these various exams. I don’t have to have a
teaching certificate and so rather than do the 300 or 400 hours of
CLE or whatever their (Inaudible) might expire, the state changed
their requirements for that, so as of November, I worked with
Tempe Prep to like get my teaching certificate application back in
because I didn’t have to do all the CLE to do it. Unbeknownst to
me, they were filling out my paperwork as they were talking to
and then I submitted my paperwork maybe a week or two
unknowingly before I was fired and so my hope was that this would
all sort of come though and I would just get to be a teacher. But
now the bar is, not the bar, the board of education has sent my
application up to some panel to review
Ms. Barnes: you know
Mr. Granville: at some point, I don’t know when. Additionally, they are reviewing if
they want to revoke my expired teaching certificate, which I’m not
even sure how that works.
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And so that’s, it’s going to be like a joint hearing someday.
Ms. Barnes: You don’t know when?
Mr. Granville: No, they haven’t released the date. Ironically, I actually worked for
the AG’s office in their education division as an extern when I was
at ASU Law School taking away teacher’s teaching certificates.
Ms. Barnes: When were you at law school at ASU?
Mr. Granville: From 04 to 07.
Ms. Barnes: And when did you get your teaching certificate?
Mr. Granville: 97 and then I would have renewed it seven years later and then I
would have let it expire at the end of those next seven years.
43
Ms. Barnes: So it expired in 11 and you weren’t aware of it.
Mr. Granville: It did not, my math must be wrong because it expired while I was at
Tempe Prep.
Ms. Barnes: Right, because you said 97, you renewed it seven years later,
which would be 4, and then seven years later expired would be 11,
so you’re saying it didn’t actually expire until 13?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, my math must be wrong about how long it’s good for.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: I mean I don’t look at it that much.
Ms. Barnes: Expired some point when you were at Tempe Prep, but you don’t
know when?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, because the first time I renewed it, the way I was able to get
around the continuing education requirements is classes count as
like CLE and so I submitted, I was like, well, I’ve got a government
history, so I submitted my con-law 1, con -law 2, you know, all my
various law school classes and those were considered my
continuing education about how government works whatever so
that’s how I got the renewal, but the second time I didn’t have any
classes to give them and I wasn’t going to do like the 100’s of hours
of education and stuff for, cause I already had a job teaching.
Ms. Barnes: What’s your bachelor’s in?
Mr. Granville: Secondary ed to be a high school history teacher.
Ms. Barnes: At ASU?
Mr. Granville: Uh huh.. Graduated in 07. My master’s I got in 2000 in education

technology and then my law degree I got in 07.
Ms. Barnes: You said 07 when you graduated bachelors, that must not be
Mr. Granville: Oh 97, sorry
Ms. Barnes: 97
Mr. Granville: 97 BA, 2000 MED, 07 law degree, all from ASU.
Ms. Barnes: And you grew up in Tempe?
44
Mr. Granville: I did not. I moved out of the house when I was, between my
sophomore and junior in high school. I moved to Arizona, I moved
in with my sister.
Ms. Barnes: From?
Mr. Granville: Richmond, Texas.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. So, you went, you finished high school in Tempe?
Mr. Granville: Yeah, my junior and senior year I went to McClintock.
Ms. Barnes: And so you graduated what, 90?
Mr. Granville: 2. Oh, to go back to your initial question, by the time I realized I
was never going to teach again, the statute of limitations had
already passed. Like wrongful termination claims and things like
that.
Ms. Barnes: You were terminated in December of 17?
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: And who informed you that the statute of limitations had passed to
pursue any legal action?
Mr. Granville: The attorney I consulted with. I think I’ve had four or five different
attorneys I’ve consulted with.
Ms. Barnes: But the only person that’s currently representing you is Ms. Cassels
and
Mr. Granville: That’s just in this matter.
Ms. Barnes: Just in this matter and then the other person whose name you’re
going to give me who is assisting you with the state bar
investigation.
Mr. Granville: And actually, I can talk to you about that too, because it occurs to
me that’s a limited representation as well. She helped me with the
letter and she said feel free to hire me if like they actually need you
to like show up.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
45
Mr. Granville: So it’s up to you. I’m happy to talk or not talk, as you wish.
Ms. Barnes: Well, if you tell me that she only represented you for the purposes
of preparing that letter and she no longer represents you after that,
then I can talk to you about it.
Ms. Cassels: But isn’t it your intent, is it not your intention that if the bar proceeds
to hearing that you’re going to.
Mr. Granville: Oh, yeah, I’ll have to rehire.
Ms. Cassels: So I would say in that event, it’s probably not the best choice.
Mr. Granville: Okay, okay.
Ms. Cassels: It’s more that you’ve just hired her in stages.
Mr. Granville: Right. Yeah, cheaper that way.
Ms. Barnes: And you’re aware that, I believe, maybe you’ve got a date wrong
here, but statute of limitations of wrongful termination is two years.
Mr. Granville: I don’t know. I was just telling you what I was told.
Ms. Barnes: You might want to look into that.
Ms. Cassels: That is not what I heard.
Ms. Barnes: Well, it’s a charter school, so it’s still public entity, so you have
notice of claim issues.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, that was the issue, the issue was notice of claim. I missed
my notice of claim deadline, cause that was 120 days or 100 and
something day. Yeah. But again, it’s not (Inaudible).
Ms. Barnes: But you were fired very swiftly; obviously you had the conversation
and then you’re terminated immediately without even having the
opportunity to really look at anything as far as the allegations, who
was saying it, who said what, I mean.
Mr. Granville: Correct.
46
Ms. Barnes: So what prevented you from taking some sort of action within that
first, you know, month or so that this happened?
Mr. Granville: The hope that I would continue to get to be a teacher someday.
Like I’m not trying to like woe is me, it’s
Ms. Barnes: Well, isn’t it true you honestly thought all this was going to be
worked out, it was all a misunderstanding?
Mr. Granville: Yeah. My, my, like, I had lots of jobs. You can see from my thing I
do lots of stuff. Teaching is the only thing I love. I literally took a
$100,000 a year paycheck from working at Dickinson Wright to be a
teacher. Like
Ms. Barnes: Pay cut?
Mr. Granville: Pay cut? Yeah. That’s how much I liked, I wanted to be a teacher
at a grade school. So, like if there was any chance of me holding
onto that, I was going to, that was my first priority.
Ms. Barnes: Where was the first school that you taught at? I think I might have
misunderstood you. Prior to TPA, what schools had you taught at?
Mr. Granville: Prior to TPA, I worked at Dickinson Wright, which was previously
Mariscal Weeks for five years and was in law school prior to that.
Prior to that, I had taught in China, Mozambique
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: financial services companies.
Ms. Barnes: That was all prior to law school.
Mr. Granville: ASU, yeah, all that was prior to law school.
Ms. Barnes: And you did your student teaching at Carson Junior.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, which is actually what made me not want to be a teacher. It
was only when I realized you could go, actually there like good
students at good schools that I realized I wanted to be a teacher.
Ms. Barnes: I grew up in that area.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, it’s changed even worse since you were there.
Ms. Barnes: I’m aware.
47
Ms. Barnes: Do you have any intent to resign from the council?
Mr. Granville: I would like to, but no I can’t.
Ms. Barnes: Tell me what you mean by that.
Mr. Granville: Somebody hires you to be a mechanic, do you get to quit because
being a mechanic sucks? No. Like you gave your word you’d be a
mechanic, so you keep the job.
Ms. Barnes: Well I think you can quit. I mean I think you can quit if you’re a
mechanic and you don’t want to be a mechanic anymore.
Mr. Granville: No, I can absolutely, like logistically I am permitted. Ethically, I

don’t think I’m permitted to.
Ms. Barnes: Why is that/
Mr. Granville: Because 15,000 people voted for me to do a job and I believe I
should do that job. And so, it’s a horrible, miserable, terrible job
where I put up with stuff like this, but it’s really not about what I
want to do.
Ms. Barnes: Do you think any of your conduct created the situation?
Mr. Granville: I think generally, no, and I’ll tell you why. I think that when you
have a group of people that are really frustrated, it’s not a question
of what the issue, it’s not a question if there’s going to be an issue,
it’s a question of what the issue is going to be. I can give you an
example. I’m on a committee right now that is regulating the
scooters that are going around, all the little electric scooters,
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: And so the way they’re charged at night is somebody goes around
and picks them all up, like contractors go and pick them up and
they charge them and they take them back and they get paid five
bucks. Well, since I’m the one regulating them, I was wanting to
know like how are you treating these people, what’s the situation
like? So I sort of, unbeknownst to the company, signed up to be a
charger. They sent me the charger things. I went through the
process. I charged it one night. I made ten dollars. I donated it to
a charity. That was the end of it. Now I know what they do and
48
how it works. I had an ethic complaint filed against for that. For ten
dollars, for money I gave to charity.
Ms. Barnes: So it’s a witch hunt?
Mr. Granville: I think it’s tribalism. I mean I think everyone means well, I think
they just, you know, once you start picking on the fat kid in the
playground, like that’s the thing to do and you certainly don’t want
to stick up for the fat kid, cause then you’re going to be the one
picked on in the playground.
Ms. Barnes: Well, in this situation though, I mean there are some differences
from that analogy to what’s happened here, so do you think that
these co-council members have a right to be concerned that you
were engaged in relationships and/or whether they
Mr. Granville: Oh for sure.
Ms. Barnes: let me finish, whether they were physical or not with gals who had
just recently graduated from the school at which you had been
teaching.
Mr. Granville: Yes. I think that’s totally fair.
Ms. Barnes: And why?
Mr. Granville: Why it’s fair
Ms. Barnes: Why do you think it’s fair that they have those concerns?
Mr. Granville: I think in general, I think any time there is an allegation, I think it
needs to be fully investigated. I was fine with the Phoenix Police
Department doing an investigation. Like that is, if the allegations
were true, that is the appropriate thing to do. I don’t have a
complaint about that. I think the part that is frustrating for me is
they often don’t understand the degree to which their own views of
me color their beliefs about characterizations and how things are
true.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, but my question is a little bit different. Let’s assume for sake
of argument that the allegations of any criminal behavior are not
true.
49
Ms. Barnes: Buy just the fact that you had relationships, intimate and/or
friendship relationships with these three women,
Ms. Barnes: who had recently graduated from a school at which you were
teaching.
Ms. Barnes: You don't think there's any problem with that or concern, reason to
be concern.
Mr. Granville: I think there's reason to be concerned, but I think the reasons to be
concerned are pretty straightforward. They are grooming, which
there's no allegation of that in any of those documents. And that
you're somehow using a position of authority to sort of like, you
know, you're leveraging authority that you have, like structural
authority, of which none of which is in those documents even being
accused. So what's left? What's left is you're an old guy dating a
young girl. And that's not culturally acceptable; it's no different than
saying we want someone investigated because they're a
communist, even though it's not illegal to be a communist. It's no
different than saying we want somebody investigated because
they're gay, even though it's not illegal to be gay. It just so
happens that it is a thing that is not culturally appropriate, and I'll be
the first to say it was a bad life choice on my part. Like I shouldn't
have dated and as soon as I realized I shouldn't have
dated I broke up with and I did it in the most
respectful e transitional supportive way that I could. I even
offered to help, I even offered to pay for therapy for her and to go
with her.
Ms. Barnes: So you were aware and you've made some comments today along
those lines that all three of these gals suffered or suffer from some
emotional issues to be, to put it in broad strokes.
Mr. Granville: Yeah, yes. I think that is true. I don't think that a thing to be judged
or bad. I mean.
Ms. Barnes: No, a lot of people have issues. I'm just asking
Ms. Barnes: you were aware of that about those three women.
50
Mr. Granville: Yeah. I mean, and I think that it just makes for a delicate situation.
Ms. Barnes: So weren’t you concerned, having, weren’t you concerned

engaging in those relationships in light of that and because they
had been students at your school?
Mr. Granville: So in the case of I didn’t know any of that because it was a
blind date.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: In the case of I would continue to argue that we never

dated, that there was never any dating, a friendly relationship.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, I mean friendship relationships.
Mr. Granville: Sure. In the case of I was in ongoing conversations with

her dad every day or every week about like hey, here’s what’s
going on. I talked to Here’s what’s like, like we would talk
about my friend and his daughter together on a weekly basis, so I
felt pretty comfortable in that situation. I felt comfortable in that
situation because she’s super, super gay, like it is the safest
situation that there is. In the case of it didn’t become
apparent right away what was going on and as soon as it did
became apparent, I politely removed myself as quickly as I could.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. I’m bouncing around a little bit just cause things popped in
my head
Mr. Granville: That’s okay.
Ms. Barnes: as we’re sitting going through it all. When you went to San
Francisco with why did you have one bed?
Mr. Granville: We were staying at a friend’s house.
Ms. Barnes: You weren’t in a hotel?
Mr. Granville: No.
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: The way the situation came about was at some point had
asked me to go to like a lesbian like location. I don’t know what it
would have been, like a club or something with her. And I was like,
no, I’m not going. She was like, oh, you should go. And I’m like, I
51
don’t go. She said well I’m really scared to go. I’m like, I’m totally
confused. You’re gay and you’re, you want like moral support to go
to a gay bar. She said well I’ve never really seen or been around
gay people before. There was a whole discussion. And that was
about the same time that I was going to San Francisco anyway, so I
asked her, I’m like, hey, do you want to get a couple of people and
we’ll invite some friends and one of my friends is going to be gone
for the holidays and she said I could stay in her place in San
Francisco. And so the original plan was that three or four of us
were going to San Francisco and so I invited her along so that I
could take her to wherever
Ms. Barnes: Gay bars.
Mr. Granville: Yeah. Not gay bars, no, whatever that street is. There’s a street
that’s like got rainbow sidewalks and stuff, I can’t recall what it is.
And she thought that was a really interesting thing and so I talked
to her dad about it and made sure it was okay with her dad and
there were no issues and then at the last minute, one, two of the
other people bailed out and I was like, well, you can come or not
come, it’s up to you. She’s like, no, I’ll come anyway and so we
literally like sat in a coffee shop window and like, in this like area,
Ms. Barnes: Haight Ashbury?
Mr. Granville: No, no, Haight Asbury is where all like the hippies are. You know,
Julia, there’s an area
Ms. Cassels: I know what you mean, but
Mr. Granville: They’ve literally got like stars of walks of fame where’s it’s like Alan
Turion’s got a start and like Liberace’s got a star and
Ms. Barnes: Okay.
Mr. Granville: At any rate, and so we sat in a coffee shop just so that she could
generally feel more comfortable being around people that she
would have something in common.
Ms. Barnes: So you stayed at a friend’s house, but they were out of town.
Mr. Granville: Yes.
Ms. Barnes: So why share a bed? She didn’t put herself on the couch.
52
Mr. Granville: I offered to sleep on the couch and she was like, don't worry about
it. Keep in mind, this is literally like a week after the allegations of
me attempting to whatever supposedly happened and so why in the
world, like just none of it makes sense, because like a week later
we're in San Francisco and we're sharing a bed and she's totally
fine with it, even though there was a couch I was perfectly fine
sleeping on.
Ms. Barnes: Well, my understanding is that the trip was sometime later.
Mr. Granville: No, it was not sometime later. It was a week or two later at best.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, that is not what she indicates.
Ms. Barnes: She said it was quite some time later.
Mr. Granville: So the instance with her coming to my house was December of 14.
We went to San Francisco Christmas of 14, so it had to be within a
week or two.
Ms. Barnes: Okay. Your girlfriend's aware of all of this, I imagine.
Mr. Granville: Uh huh. She's the reason it all happens (Inaudible) theory.
Ms. Barnes: What do you mean?
Mr. Granville: So and I last went out in like December of 16 or January of

17. and I started dating, you know, in August. We changed
our Eacebook profile in November within a week or two.
came forward to talk to the school within just a week or two.
Ms. Barnes: So you think M did it out of spite because you were in a
Facebook of icia re ationship.
Mr. Granville: I think she was in a lot of pain. I think she was looking for a way to
like not be in a lot of pain.
Ms. Barnes: Well, tell me what you mean by that.
Mr. Granville: I think when someone is in, here's an example. So I was in a

relationship for five years and I really thought it was going to be like
the best, I thought it was the rest of my life and when it ended, I
was absolutely crushed. I was depressed. I lost probably 30
pounds, which I didn't have to spare, and I was miserable and I
53
would have done anything to stop being miserable, like anything.
Anything that would have given me any chance of like not being
sad, I would have done. So I can have some sympathy for that.
Ms. Barnes: When was that in your life?
Mr. Granville: We started dating in 07; I think we broke up in 12. Ironically, her
name is also and it took me probably the better part of five
years to get over it.
Ms. Barnes: How old was
Mr. Granville: Younger than me. She was at ASU.
Ms. Barnes: So quite a bit younger.
Mr. Granville: Uh huh. She now has a PhD and a law degree and lives
somewhere in the Midwest.
Ms. Barnes: After you and stopped dating in January of 17ish, I think
she says it’s February of 17, you didn’t have any contact with her
after that?
Mr. Granville: I don’t know. I was very nervous about how she would deal with it
all and so I think the conversations were generally of the type,
actually, I know the conversations, I’m not saying I think, the
conversations I had with her were very much this, I’m not
abandoning you. I’m not leaving you. I’m not ghosting you. I’m not
going away. I will always be here to support you. We’re not going
to date. We’re not going to be intimate and I think you will find that
while talking to me makes you feel good in the moment, it generally
makes you feel worse and I would encourage you to start to see
that pattern and I think you will find that it is easier for you to not
see me than see me, but I will always be available to talk or go to
like joint counseling or whatever you would like. And so, I think
over a period of three to five or six times she would want to talk with
me and like I’ve got more things I want to tell you about why we
broke up and we would talk and then a day later she would be like I
feel horrible and I’m like yeah, I told you you would and so, she
started to see that pattern as well, she stopped reaching out to me.
Ms. Barnes: Why did you move out of your home in Richmond, Texas when you
came to Arizona?
Mr. Granville: My mom
54
Ms. Cassels: When he was 16?
Ms. Barnes: Uh huh.
Mr. Granville: I don’t mind answering. My parents got divorced when I was 13.
My mom got custody of me. My mom went crazy, like she was
unable to function as an adult. She was hospitalized a couple of
times. I moved out to Arizona for archery training stuff cause my
coach lives in Arizona, I was a big archer, lived with my sister while
I was here for the summer. Called my mom and said, look, I’m not
coming home. And so after some discussion and debate, she
transferred my transcripts so that I can live here.
Ms. Barnes: All right. Is there anything else you’d like to add or clarify, say,
ask?
Mr. Granville: No, I mean, it’s going to seem really odd to say. My preference
would be that the names of the girls stay anonymous while I didn’t
get the best end of this deal, I conceptually think that that’s the way
to go, so, for what it’s worth. Anything I can do in that regard.
Ms. Barnes: Well, I mean whatever’s public knowledge is public knowledge

based on the police report and what’s been released and stuff so
I’m not doing. I’m certainly not publishing anything.
Mr. Granville: The girl’s, yeah, the women’s names are not public and I think
that’s
Ms. Cassels: And they are redacted from
Ms. Barnes: From the ones you have.
Ms. Cassels: From publicly available
Ms. Barnes: Yeah.
Ms. Cassels: reports. They’ve been redacted, (Inaudible).
Ms. Barnes: All right, I think that’s all I have for now. I’ve got one or two other
things to follow up on, witnesses that I want to talk to and if I have
any follow-up questions, I could just email you, would that be all
right?
Ms. Cassels: Yep, absolutely.
55
Ms. Barnes: All right and if you could just get me the name of that attorney
who’s helping you with
Mr. Granville: Yeah, let me job the note so, that’ll be like two second
Ms. Cassels: It’s not Karen, right?
Mr. Granville: I don’t, I just don’t know. I have no idea. It’s at the bottom of the
email I sent to
Julia. Okay.
Ms. Barnes: Okay, so I’m going to stop the recording now. I’m not sure if it
worked or didn’t work. It seems like it’s working, but this is a new
app that I just tried, so, going off the record now at 3:15 on
November 7 th , 2018.

City of Tempe
Re: City Council Code of Conduct — Allegations of Violations
Ms. Bauman:
I had the opportunity to review the December 14, 2018 memo. While I disagree with the
conclusions reached, that is not the focus of my letter. My concern is there are statements in the
memo which are simply not correct characterizations of my responses during my in-person
interview. Accordingly, my concern is if the incorrect representations of my statements in the
report go without correction, it may be considered a tacit admission that I actually said those
things in my interview, which I did not.
Of course, I continue to believe that those that come forward should be able to do so
anonymously, so I will redact the names. However, an unredacted version is available to you if
you would like a copy for clarity. Additionally, I continue to assert the facts, statements, and
denials that I previously made as part of the investigation where they were correctly reported.
Additionally, attorney Sarah Barnes, with my permission, audio recorded our

conversation. I would request a copy of that recording, or a transcript, for my records so that the
truth of the interview can be preserved for the future. If you are not the correct person to make
that request to, please let me know and I will request it from whomever is required.
Additionally, I apologize I cannot cite to line numbers in the report. However, I will
attempt to take the issues in the order of the document for ease of reference.
Item Al — Police Report Summary

• In correctly paraphrasing the police report, it is stated that asserts I was not
permitted by Tempe Prep to be alone with students because I touched a student
inappropriately at school. However, the memo fails to mention that in her statement in
the police report explains this was information she received twice removed.
Additionally, the memo fails to mention that Tempe Prep has absolutely no record of this
incident in my school file and that it was simply a rumor she was propagating. If I had
done as suggested, it would constitute attempted sexual assault against a minor and
Tempe Prep would surely have taken formal action, including, but not limited to,
contacted the police and filing a complaint with the state board of education. And, for the
record, I deny this allegation.
Item A3 — Police Report Summary

• The memo asserts told the police I "made a pass" at one of her friends at a social
gathering, but this assertion does not actually appear in the police report. And, for the
record, I deny this allegation.
1 of 6
• The memo asserts told the police we "ate and drank alcohol" while in San
Francisco together. The police report actually states we "ate and drank" while in San
Francisco. Alcohol is not mentioned. And, for the record, I deny this allegation.
Item C – Granville Interview

• The report states I admitted to "being at their schools" while we were drinking together.
I did not say that. In fact, in my interview I denied being at any school while there was
drinking, but did admit I was at social gatherings at s apartment in Tucson, at an
apartment in the Phoenix area, and at parents' home with her family when she
and others were drinking. In each instance, I provided no alcohol.
• The report states I failed to deny the sexual assault allegation in my bed, but rather said,
"I'm sure that did not happen." That statement is a denial and it is perplexing why the
investigator took it as anything but a denial. I deny the incident took place as alleged.
• The investigator confuses two separate stories and combines them stating "[ ] left
the night from his house because she had been crying throughout the night for no
apparent reason; however he then said that he woke up several times in the night and
early in the morning, and she was still crying (suggesting he was right next to her)." This
gives the appearance of one story I told contradicting another.
o The correct stories are the following, left my house and was never in my
bed on the night of the allegation. On a separate occasion several years later,
requested to spend the night at my house so she wouldn't be depressed
and home alone. I agreed, and cried in bed all night, and into the
morning.
• The investigator implies that I intentionally hid information regarding work on
my campaign because I stated in a newspaper interview that I did not recall her working
on my 2016 campaign. The truth is there were 100's of people who were affiliated with
my campaign. It was only after reviewing records that I realized that made
campaign phone calls from Tucson for 3-5 hours and then stopped working the on
campaign. It is hardly surprising I wouldn't recall this until after later reviewing my
records.
• The investigator states I denied knowing (a UofA student and friend of
then promptly changed my story. The truth is the investigator asked me if I knew the
person in the allegation, and I told her I did not recall the person. Once she provided me
more context it refreshed my memory and I was happy to provide any information
requested. It is not surprising I wouldn't know the person from memory as we spent just
a few hours together, in total, approximately four years ago, and haven't spoken or
messaged since.
• The investigator states I denied "hitting on" — _ then changed my story. This is also a
mis-characterization of my response. Once I remembered who she was talking about, I
believe I stated I was interested in talking to more, but that expressed an
interest in dating and asked me not to talk to her at all. A request I complied with
and told the investigator as much.
• The investigator asserts I admitted to going out a few times with , but did not
remember specifics. I do not recall being asked the level of detail I recalled our meetings
during my interview with the investigator. Had she asked, I would have said I
remembered we went to coffee. I also remember, at some point, we were walking at the
2 of 6
corner of University and McClintock and stopped for a random TV interview. I would
have been happy to answer any questions asked about the details, but was never asked
questions about the details, so it is confusing how she came to this conclusion.
• The investigator implies that the quality of my memory changed based on the situation
and attempts to characterize this as proof of my deception. However, my imperfect
memory makes perfect sense. For example, a person is unlikely to remember having an
uneventful dinner with their mother six years earlier, but they are likely to remember that
same dinner if their mother slapped them across the table. Accordingly, I have a very
clear memory of. telling me she was 17 years old, because it was a traumatic and
surprising event. However, I have no memory of dropped of a book because it
was an otherwise uneventful occurrence. Of course, had there been an attempted kiss, or
"holding" of as she alleges, I surely would remember that, and I do not.
Accordingly, it is logical that the most I can say is exactly what I have said; I don't recall
the incident at all, I would have remembered the event if it had happened the way she
described it, and that it would be out of character for me to have acted in the way she
alleges.
• Likewise, the investigator implies that because I cannot remember if I ever stated if
was attractive or not, I must be hiding information. The truth is simple. I went
out on, what I thought, were four dates with I must have thought she was
interesting enough to date. My lack of memory about my statements regarding her
attractiveness are irrelevant and presume a rather shallow opinion that attractiveness is
my primary motivation for dating a person. And candidly, it is unclear to me the
relevance of this information at all, but as with everything else, I'm happy to say what I
remember in as great of detail as you would like.
• The investigator states I acknowledged the three females were "very vulnerable and
insecure women". I did not say this and do believe I am qualified to make that
assessment about any other person. Rather this is a statement incorrectly attributed to me
by the investigator to make it appear that I am acknowledge a predatory nature. In fact, I
was never asked to make a character assessment of any of my accusers in my interview
and this was simply made up out of whole cloth by the investigator.
• The investigator states I encouraged to break off dating me because she was
"too needy." I don't recall if I was asked that question in my interview, but I don't
believe I was. The truth is, like all human interactions, my reasoning was multifaceted.
Generally speaking, I broke off dating with for the following reasons.
o I broke off dating because I had concerns about her unhealthy friendship
with her mother; her mother controls nearly ever aspect of her life and she is her
mother's best friend and closest confidant. I can explain in greater detail and
examples, but out of respect, will not do so here.
o I broke off dating because, after several months of non-exclusive dating,
I became increasingly aware she saw me as a pseudo-authority figure, and not as a
peer. This, however, was not apparent within the first several dates. When it was
clear, I immediately broke things off.
o I broke off dating because it became clear to me that she viewed our
non-exclusive dating as an idealized fantasy world that was 3/4's of the way to
marriage after just 4-6 dates.
3 of 6
• The investigator asserts I have tended to date younger women. She does this to
demonstrate that this is a pattern and practice and, in fact, never asked me questions
about my dating history or dating preferences. The truth is, immediately proceeding my
time dating r , I dated a 42-year woman,. , for almost a year. My
"preference" had she asked, is to date women who are still willing to do spontaneous
things but also have a strong understanding of their responsibility to others and society as
a whole. If the investigator had wanted a summary of the average age of every woman I
have dated during my time on Council I would have provided it (and still will, if
requested). That said, I fail to understand why it's anyone's business the age of the
contesting adults that I choose to date.
• The investigator asked me the age of the woman I was in my last serious relationship
with, then, in an effort to "pile on" regarding pattern and practice, mentions she was in
her late teens/early 20s in her report. My last serious relationship (prior to the woman I
am currently engaged to) began in late 2006 and ended in early 2012. We met because
we were both on the ASU archery team. I was in law school and she was an undergrad.
We dated for 5+ years, lived together for two of them, and I was an integral part of her
family and life. We broke up and, last I heard, she has a Ph.D/JD from ASU and is a
professor back East....and I wish her all the best. That said, I fail to understand why it is
anyone's business to ask me questions about what contesting adult I have chosen to date,
particularly, as it relates to a time from before I was on Council.
• The investigator asserts that I said I believed contacted the school in response to
learning about my new girlfriend (now fiancé). That is an over-simplification of my
statements. I believe the breakup caused a great deal of pain because it ended
her irrational anticipatory expectations of our future, and that seeing me happy in a new
relationship amplified that pain. I believe that when a person is in that much pain they
will do almost anything they think will help them end their pain. It is my opinion she
believed that telling the school would help her lessen her pain by lessening the "risk" to
others of dating me. (even thought I was already in a relationship with someone else, as
she knew) As such, she wanted me fired from the school and removed from Council.
• The investigator incorrectly states that I stated I was aware of the rules of the Code of
Conduct at the time of my actions. I believe what I actually stated was that I was
generally aware (or assumed) that there were HR rules of some kind, but that I did not
become intimately aware of them until my first Code of Conduct hearing years after the
events.
• The investigator implies that I was concerned about dating or interacting with these
young women in an effort, seemingly, to make me appear that I knew what I was doing
was wrong. This is an incorrect paraphrasing of my statements to her. I had no concerns
about my interactions with I knew her, and her family, and we all interacted as
ongoing friends for years. I had no concerns about dating because I believed she
was a graduate student in her mid to late 20's at ASU. My concern occurred only when I
found out her age. I did have concerns about dating ,, not because I believed I
was doing anything illegal or improper. The concern was that, given our age difference,
our dating would become an object of ridicule on social media and that, as an at-will
employee, that public exposure would force Tempe Prep to fire me to maintain their
enrollment numbers.

• The investigator states "although he claims there were no allegations of grooming...". In
fact, there were no allegations of grooming, either by Tempe Prep, or by the police.
None. None of the women allege I taught them or had a single extended interaction with
them when they were students at Tempe Prep. This is simply a half truth put in by the
investigator to frame a narrative. It's a bit akin to the question of "when did you stop
beating your wife?" If you answer "that never happened" you can now put in the report,
"although the respondent claims to have never beat his wife..." It is a simple, and old
attorney technique to create bias and framing.
• The investigator uses my admission that I have made some "bad life choices" to imply
guilt. A recap of my life over the last year. I was fired from my job and unemployed for
9 months costing me $30,000 in savings. I have incurred extensive legal fees. I have
been publicly ridiculed in every major media outlet and daily on several social media
pages. I have been called a pedophile repeatedly and publicly. I have been physically
threatened in the parking lot, had my house egged, and my car keyed. I now own a gun
and keep a baseball bat in my car. I faced criminal charges. Because of all of the bad
press (even if cleared), I will never again get to teach, a job that I truly love and am good
at. It will be more than a year for me to pull myself out of my current new debts. All of
these things would not have happened, but for some non-exclusive dates with
Accordingly, going out on non-exclusive dates with was a "bad life choice".
That does not, however mean that it was an illegal choice, or in violation of any
education, state bar, or city related code of conduct.
• I do not believe I ever "self-proclaimed" in the interview I was a "good guy" and believe
the investigator is simply trying to create the implication of a smugness in my tone. I
would assess myself simply as a person. With all the good and bad of all people. And,
like all people, I just do the best I know, and learn as I go.
Item D — TPA Emails

• The investigator appears to reference, and rely in part, on the conclusions of Tempe Prep,
while simultaneously admitting she is unaware of the extent of their investigation except
to acknowledge that the firing happened immediately. There is a great deal surrounding
that firing that she is unaware of and did not ask me regarding.
• The investigator implies that my lack of clear explanation as to how a Tempe Prep 8 th
grader received a follow request on Instagram shows that I was continuing the alleged
behavior even after termination. My actual answer in my interview was that I didn't
know how that "specific" unnamed person got the follow request. Multiple people have
had access to my various social media accounts at various times. Their job is to assist in
my social media interactions. This involves "Liking", "Hearting", or commenting on
posts on my behalf. In the case of Instagram, this involves "Following" or commenting
on sometimes 100's of new people a day, in an effort to have them follow me in return
and boost my following numbers. This is a common Instagram technique to increase
followers and something that both I, and those who assist me, have done. Accordingly,
while I don't know the specific way a specific person got a follow request, I certainly
know the process by which it would happen, and was happy to tell the investigator as
much, had she simply taken the time to ask in greater detail.
5 of 6
Recommendations
• The investigator states that there were allegations that Granville "could not
unequivocally deny but could only say he does not remember it happening or that he
is sure that he would not have done that, as it would be out of character." The
investigator attempts to use this statement to imply guilt by asking me to prove the
negative. To be clear, I deny the allegations because I have no memory of them
happening, and because if they had happened as described, I would have a memory of
them happening. I deny the allegations because I would not have done the things as
described because they are out of character.
Of course, I am available and happy to talk more, or to do follow-up interviews to clear up the
many factual errors about my responses in the investigator's report.

Memorandum / Report
CONFIDENTIAL
(Attorney/Client – Work Product Privilege)
DATE: February 15, 2019
TO: Judi Baumann, City Attorney
FROM: Sarah L. Barnes, Outside Counsel (Broening Oberg Woods & Wilson)
SUBJECT: Reply to Mr. Granville’s Responses/Objections to Initial Memorandum

________________________________________________
The following are replies to each of Mr. Granville’s response or objection points, with respect
to my December 2018, Memorandum of Findings and Recommendations, which Mr. Granville
sets forth in his December 27, 2018 letter to Ms. Baumann.
Item A1 (Allegations of Former Female TPA Student)
• Mr. Granville does not dispute that statements in the police report indicate one of the
women saying she heard he was not allowed to be alone with students at Tempe Prep
Academy because he touched a student inappropriately; indeed, at page 10 of the police
report that woman actually says that it was Granville that told her. The rest of Mr.
Granville’s response at A1 is pure speculation.
Item A3 (Allegations of Former Female TPA Student)
• Page 14 of the police report does include reference to Mr. Granville trying to have sex
with one of the women’s friends named , and in Mr. Granville’s interview (pages
28-29 of the transcript), when asked if he tried to date , he said he did not know
for sure whether he did, but that he did not pursue it after the woman in question told
him not to.
• With respect to drinking alcohol in San Francisco, there are numerous places in the
police report describing the women saying they drank alcohol with Granville repeatedly,
so it is a safe assumption that the drinking referenced in San Francisco was also
referencing alcohol; that same woman said she drank with him at his home and on
various occasions when they hung out (pages 14-15 of the police report).
Item C (Mr. Granville’s Interview)
• The women do discuss Granville visiting them at different schools, and he admits he
Judi Baumann, City Attorney
February `15, 2019
Page 2
visited them while they were at college (pages 28-29 of the transcript, although he does
deny drinking with them).
• Mr. Granville repeatedly responded with statements such as “I’m sure that did not
happen,” “I don’t recall that happening,” “that does not make sense,” “I don’t know why
I would do that,” etc., instead of unambiguous denials; the only blanket denials he made
were to not providing alcohol.
• Mr. Granville originally told the journalist that if one of the women had worked on his
campaign, she must have been so far removed that he did not know it (page 16 of the
police report). However, in his interview, Granville admitted that he was emailing that
woman directly about the campaign (page 27 of the transcript).
• Again, when asked about one of the women’s friends named , Mr. Granville
initially said no, but then immediately “remembered” who she was when the only
additional context of she was at U of A was added to the question.
• Again, Mr. Granville also tried avoiding answering the question of whether or not he
tried hitting on or dating , but then ultimately conceded that he may have done so
(page 29 of the transcript).
• Very specific questions were asked of Mr. Granville in the interview about various
activities and locations involving his time spent with the one woman (who was initially
17 when they first interacted), and he repeatedly said he had no memory (pages 29-31
of the transcript).
• The transcript clearly demonstrates that Mr. Granville repeatedly vacillates between
remembering very specific details of a few stories and not remembering one way or the
other on many other aspects of the women’s stories; and again, not denying but just
saying he did not recall.
• With respect to the women who was 17 years old, Mr. Granville apparently told one of
the other women that the 17 year old’s interest in him was one-sided (pages 15-16 of
police report), but then in the interview he acknowledges he was going out on dates with
her and was interested in her until he says he found out she was 17 (pages 29-32 of
transcript).
• When asking Mr. Granville about comments he made about the different women
suffering from emotional issues he agrees with that and says that it made for a “delicate
situation” (pages 50-51 of the transcript). Further, Mr. Granville refers to one of the
woman as volatile mentally, crying all the time and that not being uncommon (pages
February `15, 2019
Page 3
22-23 of the transcript). Granville also conveys a story about one of the women being
afraid to be around other gay people despite identifying as gay and that he was trying to
help her feel more comfortable in that respect (pages 51-52 of transcript). Mr. Granville
also discusses how two of the women were on a “cocktail of medication” (pages 24-25
of transcript). Finally, one of the women was only 17 during his initial interactions with
her. All of these things confirm Granville was aware of these women’s vulnerability.
• Mr. Granville challenges or seems to challenge that he broke it off with the one women
he admits to dating because she was too needy. However, throughout the interview
discussing that woman he makes repeated references to that being the case and in his
response he does not really deny that either.
• Mr. Granville admits throughout the interview that he has tended to date younger
woman and/or prefers younger women. In fact, Granville repeatedly compares his
choice of dating younger women as being like a communist in the 50’s or being gay in
the 80’s - saying that it is not accepted. All the women discussed, with the exception
of his current girlfriend, were admittedly markedly younger than Mr. Granville, several,
as many as 20 years younger.
• With respect to the woman that Mr. Granville was dating right before these former TPA
students, Mr. Granville volunteered to discuss her, and, again, he acknowledges that that
woman was also an undergraduate student at ASU, and thus between the ages of 18- 22
or so. This discussion is referenced in the initial memorandum because it was consistent
with his pattern.
• In the interview Mr. Granville clearly indicates that he believed one of the women
reported her concerns about their relationship, and his relationship with other former
students, to TPA because he claims she saw his Facebook profile change to being in a
new relationship (pages 53-54 of the transcript).
• Mr. Granville states that he is “intimately familiar” with the Code of Conduct although
he does go on to say that he became so after his first censure. However, Mr. Granville
also would have received the Code of Conduct and personnel rules when he became a
councilmember, and he did not suggest that he was not aware of them before these
incidents.
• Mr. Granville admits that he made bad choices with respect to at least one of the women,
and he admits the interactions with these young women, who were former students at
the high school where he taught, would be reason to be concerned; he said it was
reasonable for others to be concerned about it (pages 48-50 of the transcript).
February `15, 2019
Page 4
• With respect to allegations of grooming, the police report recap of what the women say
happened, their vulnerability and Granville’s position, as well as the lead detective’s
comments to me in my interview of her, are all suggestive of grooming.
• Again, Mr. Granville admitted he made a bad life choice and that he should not have
dated the one young woman (page 50 of the transcript).
• The transcript of the interview speaks for itself, but throughout the interview there are
numerous times where Mr. Granville speaks very highly of himself, as well as his
genuine concern for the women (all of which are contrary to others’ views on the
events).
Item D (TPA File/Emails)
• In the interview, Mr. Granville was asked to detail his understanding of how and why
he was fired and to tell his story in that regard (he answers at length at pages 6-9 of the
transcript). Further, I also communicated with TPA’s attorney and exchanged emails
with him regarding my investigation, and received emails and other portions of Mr.
Granville’s personnel file from TPA. The police report also discusses the firing.
• With respect to the social mediate communication with an eighth grader at TPA, in
2018, Mr. Granville could not say one way or the other whether he reached out to that
student or whether he had someone else do it, as he did claim he has numerous people
that help him with that (page 22 of the transcript). The police report also discusses the
detective’s interviews with respect to that communications with the eighth grader in
2018, after these women’s allegations came to light.
My Recommendations
• Mr. Granville again complains of the characterization of his choice of words for his
responses to questions in his interview. However, the transcript clearly demonstrates
that Granville repeatedly uses phrases such as “I don’t’ recall that happening,” or “I’m
sure that did not happen,” instead of categorically denying the incidents with the
women.
CONCLUSION
None of Mr. Granville’s responses or objections cause me to change the findings and
recommendations in my December Memorandum with respect to the evidence

Narrative Information
ON JANUARY 18TH, 2018, AZ CENTRAL PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE ABOUT TEMPE COUNCILMAN KOLBY GRANVILLE
BEING TERMINATED FROM HIS TEACHING POSITION AT TEMPE PREPARATORY ACADEMY (TPA). HE WAS
TERMINATED FOR INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT WITH FORMER STUDENTS BY PROVIDING THEM ALCOHOL WHEN
THEY WERE UNDER 21 YEARS OF AGE AND POSSIBLY MAKING UNWANTED SEXUAL ADVANCES TOWARDS ONE.
TEMPE POLICE SAW THE ARTICLE AND MADE AN INQUIRY TO THE SCHOOL TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, BUT THEN ELECTED TO RECUSE THEMSELVES DUE TO POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF
INTEREST.
ON 01/23/18, SGT. BREITZMAN AND I WERE CONTACTED BY TEMPE POLICE COMMANDER KIM HALE, WHO PROVIDED
A CONTACT NUMBER FOR ONE OF THE FEMALES FROM THE ARTICLE AS WELL AS CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE
SCHOOL AND MR. KOLBY GRANVILLE. PHOENIX POLICE WAS ASKED TO CONDUCT AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF
THIS INCIDENT AT THE REQUEST OF TEMPE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
ON 01/23/18, I CONTACTED JOHN'S!" THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING TPA TO ASK FOR THE INFORMATION THAT
HAD BEEN RELEASED TO THE MEDIA FOR THEIR ARTICLE.
ON 01/24/18, I RECEIVED THE SAME REDACTED INFORMATION THAT TPA RELEASED TO THE MEDIA FOR THEIR
PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST. I STARTED TO PUT TOGETHER A TIMELINE OF WHEN THE TWO FEMALES
CONTACTED THE SCHOOL AND MR. GRANVILLE'S TIMELINE OF EMPLOYMENT AND INTERACTION WITH THE
FEMALES.
ON 01/25118, I LEFT A MESSAGE FOR THE FEMALE FROM THE ARTICLE, WHO HAD A CONSENSUAL RELATIONSHIP
WITH MR. GRANVILLE AFTER SHE GRADUATED TPA.
ON 01/26/18, I SPOKE TO OVER THE TELEPHONE AND THE CONVERSATION WAS AUDIO RECORDED. SHE
DID NOT WISH TO PROVIDE HER FULL NAME, BUT STATED WAS HER MIDDLE NAME AND SHE WAS
COMFORTABLE PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION. THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF MY CONVERSATION WHICH
WAS AUDIO RECORDED AND UPLOADED TO THE SERVER IN ITS ENTIRETY.
IM GRADUATED FROM TPA IN AND NEVER HAD GRANVILLE AS A TEACHER WHILE SHE WAS AT
TPA. SHE KNEW WHO HE WAS BECAUSE TPA IS A SMALL SCHOOL AND EVERYONE TENDS TO KNOW WHO
EVERYONE IS. ,IRIPFIRST MET WITH SCHOOL OFFICIALS, WAYNE PORTER AND CARISSA, AT THE END OF
NOVEMBER TO DISCUSS HER ISSUE WITH KOLBY GRANVILLE. '.STATED THEY HAD A CONSENSUAL
RELATIONSHIP FROM APRIL OF 2016 TO FEBRUARY OF 2017, NOT JUST 6 MONTHS AS THE NEWS ARTICLE STATED.
HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH GRANVILLE WHILE SHE WAS A STUDENT AND ON ONE OCCASION HE
FLIRTED WITH HER WHEN HE COMMENTED HOW ATTRACTIVE HER DRESS WAS AT PROM. AT THE TIME SHE DID
NOT THINK MUCH OF IT. METURNED 18 YEARS OLD IN AFTER GRADUATING FROM TPA. SHE
DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH GRANVILLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER OF 2015 WHILE ATTENDING A NEIGHBORHOOD
MEETING; AFTER WHICH, HE ASKED HER TO BE FACEBOOK FRIENDS.
AFTER AND GRANVILLE BECAME FACEBOOK FRIENDS, HE ASKED TO MEET HER FOR COFFEE OR LUNCH.
EVEN THOUGH •AND HER MOTHER BOTH THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD, SHE AGREED TO MEET HIM FOR LUNCH,
BUT THERE WAS NOTHING ROMANTIC ABOUT IT. =THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST MEETING SO HE COULD GET
TO KNOW HER AND ASK HER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CITY OF TEMPE. THEY HAD CONTACT OFF AND ON VIA TEXT
ABOUT CITY RELATED THINGS UNTIL SHE ASKED TO MEET WITH HIM IN FEBRUARY OF 2016 TO INTERVIEW HIM FOR
ONE OF HER CLASSES. DURING THE INTERVIEW IT REMAINED PROFESSIONAL, UNTIL HE ASKEDIF SHE
WANTED TO SEE A MOVIE WITH HIM. SHE DECLINED HIS OFFER AT THE TIME AND DID NOT SEEN GRANVILLE AGAIN
UNTIL APRIL WHEN SHE WENT TO THE "STATE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD" AND HE WAS THERE. GRANVILLE
MESSAGED HER THE NEXT DAY AND ASKED HER TO SEE A MOVIE, WHICH THEY DID AND THEY STARTED DATING
ABOUT A WEEK LATER.
MDID NOT TELL HER PARENTS, BUT DID TELL A FEW FRIENDS THEY WENT TO A MOVIE. ONCE THEY
STARTED DATING, GRANVILLE INSISTED SHE NOT TELL HER PARENTS OR HER FRIENDS THAT THEY WERE DATING.

MCOMPLIED WITH THIS REQUEST AND LIED TO HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY ABOUT WHO SHE WAS DATING. AT
THE TIME SHE FELT LIKE IT WAS A GOOD IDEA, BUT LOOKING BACK SHE REALIZED HE CONTROLLED THE
RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO GET FIRED FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL. .STATED HE ACTUALLY
TOLD HER HE COULD GET FIRED IF ANYONE FOUND OUT THEY WERE DATING. GRANVILLE ALSO DID NOT TAKE ANY
PICTURES WITH, ASIDE FROM THE ONE PICTURE SHE TOOK OUTSIDE THE MOVIE IN APRIL WHEN THEY FIRST
STARTED DATING. THE ONLY PERSON SHE DID TELL WAS A FRIEND SHE MET IN COLLEGE THAT HAD NOTHING TO
DO WITH TPA. WHILE THEY WERE DATING,()MET GRANVILLE 'S MOTHER AND SOME OF HIS FRIENDS.
ACKNOWLEDGED THAT NOTHING PHYSICAL HAPPENED UNTIL AFTER SHE WAS 18 YEARS OLD AND SHE
DESCRIBED HERSELF AS BEING VERY IMMATURE AND SHELTERED. THE REASON SHE DECIDED TO COME
FORWARD TO THE SCHOOL IS BECAUSE SOMEONE SHE WORKED WITH TOLD HER THAT A STUDENT WAS ALONE IN
THE ROOM WITH GRANVILLE AND HE TOUCHED HER INAPPROPRIATELY. I_ELABORATED THAT THIS WAS
FROM"THE PAST, NOT A CURRENT STUDENT, BUT SHE DID NOT KNOW WHO THE PRIOR STUDENT WAS. SHE ALSO
ADDED THAT WHILE SHE WAS DATING GRANVILLE, HE HAD TOLD HER A STORY ABOUT THE SCHOOL NOT LETTING
HIM BE ALONE WITH FEMALE STUDENTS BECAUSE HE HAD TOUCHED A STUDENT INAPPROPRIATELY. GRANVILLE
CONVINCEDWgTHE SCHOOL WAS OVERREACTING BECAUSE NOTHING HAD EVER HAPPENED. I ASKED
THE CONTEXT OF WHY THAT CONVERSATION WOULD HAVE COME UP, BUT SHE COULD NOT REMEMBER. —
DID NOT HAVE ANY DETAILS ABOUT THE ALLEGED PRIOR STUDENT THAT WAS TOUCHED BY GRANVILLE BECAUSE
IT WAS THIRD HAND KNOWLEDGE FROM A CO -WORKER. SHE THOUGHT HER CO -WORKER TOLD HER THAT THE
FORMER STUDENT DID NOT MAKE A COMPLAINT TO THE SCHOOL, BUT WAS GOING TO GO TO THE MEDIA WITH HER
STORY. IM)ALSO DISCLOSED A CONVERSATION SHE HAD WITH GRANVILLE ABOUT HOW OLD SHE LOOKED AND
HE TOLD HER THAT SHE LOOKED " 16" . SHE KNEW THAT GRANVILLE FOUND YOUNGER WOMEN ATTRACTIVE, BUT
HE ALSO TOLD HER THAT HE HAD NEVER FOUND A STUDENT ATTRACTIVE BEFORE. NOW, AFTER HEARING ABOUT
THE OTHER STUDENT, SHE KNOWS HE WAS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH. ratWI)DISCLOSED THE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE STUDENT TO THE SCHOOL, BUT THEY DID NOT SHOW MUCH OF A REACTION.
THROUGHOUT THE INTERVIEW I EXPLAINED TO THE IMPORTANCE OF REPORTING TO LAW

ENFORCEMENT PRIOR TO THE MEDIA AND ASKED HER TO DISCLOSE HER FULL NAME. SHE DID NOT FEEL
COMFORTABLE DOING THAT AS ONE OF HER FRIENDS HAS A FATHER THAT IS ON THE BOARD OR TEACHES AT TPA,
WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON GRANVILLE DID NOT WANTTO TELL HER FRIENDS THEY WERE DATING. SHE
SAW IN THE ARTICLE THAT GRANVILLE ACCUSED HER OF MAKING THIS CLAIM BECAUSE SHE WAS JEALOUS OF HIS
NEW GIRLFRIEND. I ASKEDTO ELABORATE MORE ON WHY SHE CAME FORWARD AND IF THERE WAS ANY
INCORRECT INFORMATION IN THE MEDIA REPORT. MDAGAIN STATED SHE ONLY CAME FORWARD BECAUSE OF
WHAT HER COWORKER TOLD HER ABOUT A FORMER STUDENT AT TPA. SHE ALSO SAID THEY ACTUALLY DATED
FROM APRIL OF 2016 UNTIL FEBRUARY OF 2017, CLOSER TO 10 MONTHS THAN 6 MONTHS AND SHE ENDED THE
RELATIONSHIP. aili STATED SHE WAS DEPRESSED IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 PARTLY BECAUSE OF HFR HIDDEN
RELATIONSHIP WITH GRANVILLE, SO SHE ASKED HIM IF HE COULD EVER LOVE HER. ACCORDING TO
GRANVILLE TOLD HER " NO " AND AT THAT POINT SHE DECIDED TO END THE RELATIONSHIP SINCE IT HAD NO
FUTURE. I'NOW THINKS THE RELATIONSHIP WAS JUST ABOUT SEX FOR GRANVILLE. I ASKED IF SHE
CONTACTED GRANVILLE AFTER THE BREAK UP AS THE NEWS STORY STATED. SHE ADMITTED THAT THEY DID
SOMEWHAT STAY IN CONTACT AND SHE DID REACH OUT TO HIM TWICE ABOUT GETTING BACK TOGETHER, BUT IT
WAS WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF THE RELATIONSHIP ENDING, NOT AS RECENT AS GRANVILLE STATED IN THE ARTICLE.
I ASKED _____' ABOUT WHAT GRANVILLE STATED ABOUT AND THE OTHER VICTIM HAVING DATED AND
THEN STOPPING CONTACT ONCE SHE STARTED DATING GRANVILLE. STATED SHE WENT ON ONE DATE
WITH THE OTHER GIRL WHILE SHE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT THEY DID NOT STOP TALKING WHEN STARTED
DATING GRANVILLE. (KNEW GRANVILLE WAS FRIENDS WITH OTHER GIRL, BUT. DID NOT KNOW
ANYTHING PHYSICAL HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM UNTIL AFTER REPORTED TO THE SCHOOL. ALSO
DID NOT TELL HER FRIEND WHEN SHE STARTED DATING GRANVILLE, SO THERE WAS NO ANIMOSITY THEN OR NOW.
..§1STATED HE DID BUY ALCOHOL FOR HER WHEN THEY WERE DATING. BUT IT WAS USUALLY JUST THEM,
OTHER THAN IN VEGAS. I CONCLUDED THE CALL BY OFFERING TO PUT IN CONTACT WITH OUR VICTIM
ADVOCATES, BUT SHE DECLINED THE OFFER. I ALSO REQUESTED SPEAK TO THE OTHER GIRLS AND ASK
THEM TO CONTACT ME PRIOR TO GOING TO THE MEDIA IN ORDER TO CONDUCT A BETTER CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION.

BACKGROUND AND JOB. I EXPLAINED THAT SPECIAL INVESTIGATION DETAIL CONDUCTS CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATIONS IF THE SUSPECT IS A CITY OF PHOENIX EMPLOYEE OR IN THIS SITUATION A HIGH PROFILE CASE
IN WHICH TEMPE REQUESTED OUR ASSISTANCE. (TEMPE POLICE DID NOT WANT THERE TO BE ANY QUESTION OF
THERE BEING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR INVESTIGATING A TEMPE COUNCILMAN.) WHILE WAS AT TPA,
GRANVILLE WAS NEVER HER TEACHER AND SHE DID NOT REALLY HAVE ANY INTERACTION WITH HIM AT SCHOOL.
WHEN SHE GRADUATED IN SHE WAS STILL 17 YEARS OLD AND WAS GOING TO TAKE A MONTH LONG
TRIP TO GERMANY. TOLD ANOTHER TEACHER, REBECCAIIIMII ABOUT HER PLANS AND SHE
RECOMMENDED THAT SPEAK TO GRANVILLE BECAUSE HE HAD 1FAVELED PRETTY EXTENSIVELY. (IT
SHOULD BE NOTED REBECCA'S HUSBAND WAS THE HEADMASTER AT TPA IN 2013)
CONTACTED GRANVILLE BY TELEPHONE AND THEY MET AT CARTEL COFFEE ON SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2013,
AND WALKED TO TEMPE FARMER'S MARKET TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT. SHE DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF THE
MEETING BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST MEETING A TEACHER TO TALK ABOUT TRAVEL. THEY PLANNED
TO MEET A WEEK LATER TO GO ROAD BIKING, BUT GRANVILLE TOLD HER THAT HE OVERSLEPT AND ASKED HER TO
MEET HIM FOR BREAKFAST AT N-COUNTER ON MILL AVENUE INSTEAD. DURING BREAKFAST IS WHEN GRANVILLE
STARTED MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT HER APPEARANCE, TELLING HER THAT SHE WAS AN ATTRACTIVE SMART
WOMAN, WHICH SHE THOUGHT WAS WEIRD COMING FROM AN OLDER MAN. 1.11.TOLD MRS ABOUT
THE COMMENTS GRANVILLE MADE AND SHE TOLD HAT HE LIKES TO DATE YOUNGER WOMEN AND THAT IT
SOUNDED LIKE HIM. THEIR NEXT MEET UP WAS AT THE YUCCA TAP ROOM FOR BRUNCH. NOTHING UNUSUAL
HAPPENED THAT DAY, THERE WAS NO CONVERSATION ABOUT ALCOHOL, BUT SHE WAS VERY ANTI-ALCOHOL AT
THAT TIME.

GRANVILLE ASKED TO COME BACK TO HIS HOUSE FOR ICE CREAM AND TO GET THE TRAVEL BOOKS.
GRANVILLE TOLD:)THEY COULD EAT ICE CREAM ON THE ROOF AND KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE TRIP, SO SHE
AGREED TO GO ON THE ROOF WITH HIM. WHILE THEY WERE ON THE ROOF, HE ASKEDIMI1-0 LAY ON HIS
CHEST, SHE DID NOT ANSWER, SO GRANVILLE PULLED HER ON HIS CHEST. WHILE THEY WERE TALKING,
GRANVILLE STARTED TALKING ABOUT HIS SEXUAL EXPERIENCES AND HE TOLDMITHAT SHE WOULD NOT LIKE

FRIENDS FIRST. ______FINALLY SAID SHE HAD TO LEAVE BECAUSE HER PARENTS WERE WAITING FOR HER, SO
THEY STOOD UP. GRANVILLE THEN MADE A COMMENT ABOUTEMBEING 18 AND SHE RESPONDED SHE WAS

IDEA OF A GOODNIGHT KISS. igEBTOOK THE TRAVEL BOOKS AND LEFT GRANVILLE'S HOUSE.

FACEBOOK MESSAGES (THESE WERE PROVIDED TO ME BY —— . SHE DESCRIBED THE MESSAGES AS BEING
FROM GRANVILLE AND SHE WOULD RESPOND AND ON THE DAY OF HER BIRTHDAY HE SENT A MESSAGE SAYING
SOMETHING ABOUT HER BEING 18 NOW. MIISTATED SHE BECAME UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SOME OF HIS
MESSAGES AND MADE UP A STORY THAT SHE WAS SEEING SOMEONE, SO HE WOULD STOP SENDING HER SO
MANY MESSAGES. SHE SAID HIS MESSAGES AND PRIOR COMMENTS MADE HER UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE SHE
MAINLY DATED WOMEN AND DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF DATING EXPERIENCE IN GENERAL.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED I READ THE MESSAGES BETVVEENIMAND GRANVILLE AND IT APPEARED TO BE VERY
MUTUAL CORRESPONDENCE AND SHE WOULD BE THE ONE THAT INITIATED SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS, NOT
JUST HIM. SHE DID TELL HIM THAT SHE WS SEEING SOMEONE AND HE DID MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT HER BEING 18
ON HER BIRTHDAY.
MIRETURNED FROM HER TRIP AT THE END OF OCTOBER, SHE THINKS SHE JUST DROPPED BY HIS HOUSE IN

WAITING. GRANVILLE ANSWERED THE DOOR WHEN SHE KNOCKED AND ASKED HER TO COME IN AND PUT THE
BOOKS ON THE COFFEE TABLE. MOWALKED IN, PUT THE BOOKS DOWN, TURNED AROUND AND GRANVILLE
WAS CLOSING THE DOOR. HE WAS STANDING BETWEEN HER AND THE DOOR. GRANVILLE ASKED ABOUT HER

CONTACTED ABOUT THIS SITUATION. MINEVER TOLD HER PARENTS ABOUT EITHER TIME GRANVILLE HAD
TOUCHED HER OR HER; HOWEVER A WEEK AFTER THIS LAST INCIDENT SHE WAS AT REBECCA'S HOUSE
BABYSITTING, AND TOLD HER WHAT HAPPENED. =ITOLD REBECCA GRANVILLE TRIED TO HER AT HIS

THE TYPE OF GUY GRANVILLE WAS AND SHOULD HAVE DEFENDED NOT LAUGH IT OFF. SHE DESCRIBED
REBECCA AS THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT WOULD GOSSIP, SO IS PRETTY SURE REBECCA WOULD HAVE

TOLD TWO OTHER FRIENDS THAT WENT TO TPA ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED,
SHE SAID NONE OF THE GIRLS HAD EVER HAD ANY ISSUE WITH GRANVILLE,
BUT THINKS PARENTS MAY HAVE KNOWN SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY WERE INVOLVED IN
POLITICS. IS STILL IN CONTACT WITH BOTH OF THESE GIRLS AND THEY WERE AWARE SHE REPORTED TO
THE SCHOOL BOARD. BUT NOT THAT SHE WAS SPEAKING TO POLICE. DECIDED TO REPORT THIS TO THE
SCHOOL BECAUSE SHE FOUND OUT THAT GRANVILLE WAS FIRED FROM THE SCHOOL, SO SHE WANTED TO TELL
THEM HER STORY. MILEARNED ABOUT GRANVILLE BEING FIRED FROM A FAMILY FRIEND THAT USED TO OWN
A RESTAURANT IN TEMPE WHERE WOULD SOMETIMES WORK. ANOTHER TEMPE COUNCIL MEMBER,
.11.11= HAD EVENTS AT THAT RESTAURANT ON OCCASION WHEN WAS WORKING THERE.
TOLD THE FAMILY FRIEND IN 2013/2014, A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, AND THAT SHE DID NOT WANT TO
SERVE GRANVILLE OR BE AROUND HIM. SHE ASKED NOT TO BE SIGNED UP TO WORK AT EVENTS HE COULD BE
PRESENT. ONCE GRANVILLE WAS FIRED ASKED THE FAMILY FRIEND IFWOULD WANT TO
COME FORWARD ( r . NOT KNOW NAME AT THAT POINT. SHE DOES NOW). THE CONVERSATIONS
HAPPENED BEFORE THE ORIGINAL NEWS STORY INVOLVING=BAN DIM.BROKE...WAS NOT SURE
WHO THE OTHER TWO GIRLS IN THE NEWS STORY WERE, BUT THOUGHT ONE WAS POSSIBLY
BECAUSE SAW HER AND GRANVILLE TOGETHER AT CARTEL. ( ACTUAL NAME IS
THOUGHT WHEN SHE SAW THEM TOGETHER THAT SHE SHOULD WARN THE GIRL THAT GRANVILLE WAS NOT A
GOOD PERSON.
.1111.SAID SHE FEELS A LOT OF GUILT FOR NOT SAYING ANYTHING AT THE TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER SHE
READ THE ARTICLE. SHE THINKS IF SHE HAD COME FORWARD SOONER, MAYBE THE OTHER GIRLS WOULD NOT
HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH WHAT THEY DID. MMDOES NOT THINK SHE WAS GRANVILLE'S FIRST GIRL
BECAUSE HE SEEMED TOO "COCKY AND COMFORTABLE" WITH WHAT HE WAS DOING. THE COMMENTS GRANVILLE
MADE IN THE ARTICLE ALSO MADE HER ANGRY, SO SHE FELT IT WAS HER RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL THE SCHOOL IT
WAS NOT JUST THOSE TWO GIRLS. "lTHOUGHT ABOUT CONTACTING POLICE, BUT SHE DID NOT WANT HER
NAME ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND THIS HAS BECOME A LOT BIGGER THAN SHE ANTICIPATED. SHE ADDED THAT
AFTER THE INCIDENT AT GRANVILLE'S HOUSE, THEY MAY HAVE EXCHANGED A FEW MORE MESSAGES AND SHE
RAN INTO HIM AT PUBLIC PLACES, BUT NEVER SAW HIM ALONE AGAIN.
I CONCLUDED THE INTERVIEW BY EXPLAINING TOIMaTHE EVENTS SHE DESCRIBED CONSTITUTE AN

ASSAULT; SPECIFICALLY THE SHE WANTED TO THINK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SHE WANTED TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH PROSECUTION AND DID NOT WANT TO DECIDE TODAY. I ALSO EXPLAINED TO ABOUT
VICTIM SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO HER WHETHER OR NOT SHE CHOSE PROSECUTION AND SHE AGREED
TO ALLOW ME TO GIVE A VICTIM ADVOCATE HER NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION. IIWAS STILL VISIBLY
UPSET ABOUT THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED WITH GRANVILLE IN 2013 AND HAD YET TO SPEAK TO A COUNSELOR
ABOUT THE TRAUMATIC EVENT. SEVERAL DAYS LATER I CONTACTED AND ADVISED HER NO ONE ELSE
WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE SHE HAD ASKED ME ABOUT THE OTHER GIRLS WANTING TO PROSECUTE.
SHE DID NOT CALL ME BACK TO SAY SHE WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD, THEREFORE I CONCLUDED SHE WAS
CHOOSING NOT TO PROSECUTE AND PUT THE MATTER BEHIND HER.
ON 2/8/18 CAME TO THE FAG FOR HER INTERVIEW. THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF MY INTERVIEW
WITH THAT TOOK PLACE IN ROOM #3 AT THE FAC. IT WAS

CRIMINAL MATTER THAT SHOULD BE PURSUED. I ADVISED THAT PHOENIX POLICE WAS CONDUCTING THE
INVESTIGATION TO ENSURE THERE WOULD BE NO APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH TEMPE
POLICE AND TEMPE CITY COUNCIL. SHE UNDERSTOOD AND ALSO ADDED THAT SHE HAD NO INTENTION FOR THE
MEDIA TO GET THE NEWS STORY; HOWEVER, THEY SENT A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST TO THE SCHOOL FOR ANY
COMPLAINTS AND THEY WERE GIVEN THE EMAILS. ALSO STATED THERE WERE SOME DETAILS IN THE
STORY THAT WERE NOT TOTALLY ACCURATE. WAS FRIENDS WITH TOWARDS

CREATED WITHOUT HER PARENT'S KNOWLEDGE. =WOES COMMUNICATE WITH , NOW ON A REGULAR
BASIS AND NEVER KNEW ABOUT RELATIONSHIP WITH GRANVILLE UNTIL WELL AFTER' AND KOLBY
STOPPED SEEING EACH OTHER. THEY DID NOT STOP SPEAKING BECAUSEMEISTARTED SEEING GRANVILLE, AS
KOLBY STATED IN HIS EMAIL TO JOHNNIE§
I ASKED WHAT HER RELATIONSHIP WITH GRANVILLE WAS WHILE SHE WAS AT TPA AS A STUDENT.
ACCORDING TO HE WAS NEVER HER TEACHER, BUT TPA IS A SMALL SCHOOL AND EVERYONE KNOWS
EVERYONE. SHE WOULD TALK WITH HIM BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED IN THE MORNINGS WHEN HE HAD COURTYARD
DUTY. .111MDESCRIBED GRANVILLE AS BEING PROGRESSIVE AND ACCEPTING OF HER GAY LIFESTYLE, WHICH
WAS UNUSUAL FOR THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. SHE DESCRIBED THE SCHOOL AS HAVING A LOT OF "CLANS"
BECAUSE THERE WERE LARGE CATHOLIC FAMILIES AND EVEN THOUGH TPA IS NOT AN OFFICIAL CATHOLIC
SCHOOL, IT IS VERY CATHOLIC. 01.1111KNOWS ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS WITH GRANVILLE HAD TO DO WITH
A TELEVISION SHOW BECAUSE OF A STICKER SHE SAW ON HIS LAP TOP. THEY BECAME FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK IN
2013, BUT DID NOT REALLY HAVE CONSISTENT CONTACT. GRANVILLE CONTACTED HER IN THE SPRING OR
SUMMER OF 2014 AND SAID HE WANTED TO WAIT A YEAR UNTIL AFTER SHE GRADUATED TO CREATE SOME
DISTANCE. 1.1111111NAS SEEING SOMEONE HER FRESHMAN YEAR OF COLLEGE AND IS PRETTY SURE THERE WAS
NO CONTACT WITH GRANVILLE DURING THAT TIME. IN 2014 GRANVILLE ASKED IMID TO JOIN A TPA SUMMER
RUN CLUB, WHICH SHE DENIED, AND HE LATER INVITED HER TO A MOVIE FESTIVAL, WHICH SHE ALSO DENIED. HER
PARENTS WERE AWARE OF HER CONTACT, BUT DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT BECAUSE SHE TENDED TO BE FRIENDS
WITH ADULTS BECAUSE HER OLDER BROTHER IS 15 YEARS HER SENIOR AND BASED ON HER SEXUALITY, THEY
WERE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THERE BEING A SEXUAL INTEREST THERE.
______'TALKED ABOUT GRANVILLE PROVIDING ALCOHOL FOR HER AND OTHER UNDERAGE FRIENDS IN THE
SUIvIIVIER OF 2014. SHE HAD A FRIEND WHO ATTENDED AND LIVED ON CAMPUS IN
THE DORMS. GRANVILLE WOULD COME TO THE DORMS WITH ALCOHOL, HANG OUT WITH COLLEGE KIDS AND
CONSUME ALCOHOL. THAT SAME SUMMER IS WHEN GRANVILLE ALSO ASKED TO GO TO A JAZZ
CONCERT, WHICH SHE AGREED TO GO TO. HE ASKED IF SHE WANTED TO LEAVE THE CONCERT AND GO TO A
FRIEND'S PARTY AND AGREED. WHILE THEY WERE AT THE PARTY, THEY BOTH CONSUMED ALCOHOL AND
THAT IS WHEN GRANVILLE HER. alliMPULLED AWAY, HE APOLOGIZED, SHE JUST CHALKED IT UP TO A
"DRUNKEN MISTAKE" AND DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT. HER PARENTS WERE AWARE SHE WENT TO THE
CONCERT WITH GRANVILLE, BUT SHE DID NOT TELL THEM ABOUT THE TIMES THEY DRANK ALCOHOL TOGETHER,
OR GOING TO THE PARTY AND THEM" 111111.1111MIMMIl•AT TPA AND SHE DID NOT WANT HIM TO GET
UPSET AND DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD JEOPARDIZE HIS CAREER. AFTER THE PARTY, (1BAND GRANVILLE
CONTINUED TO TALK. SHE WOULD GO OVER TO HIS HOUSE, THEY WOULD HAVE DRINKS AND WA ICH MOVIES. SHE
DESCRIBED HIM AS AN AVID MOVIE FAN AND IT WOULD ONLY BE THE TWO OF THEM AT HIS HOUSE, BUT NOTHING
HAPPENED, THEY JUST WATCHED MOVIES.
1111111.STARTED DATING SOMEONE WHEN SHE RETURNED BACK TO SCHOOL IN 2014 AND THIS GIRL
ACTUALLY WENT WITH HER TO GRANVILLE'S HOUSE ONE TIME. GRANVILLE ALSO WENT TO TUCSON AND STAYED

THAT VISIT NOTHING HAPPENED. IN GENERAL, WHEN WAS DATING SOMEONE, HER CONTACT WITH
GRANVILLE WAS LESS OFTEN. SHE DATED UNTIL THE FALL OF 2015, WHEN JOINED THE NAVY

11.11111STARTED TALKING AGAIN ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS WHILE SHE WAS ON WINTER BREAK FROM
COLLEGE. DURING ONE OF THEIR CONVERSATIONS, WHILE SHE WAS HOME ON WINTER BREAK, GRANVILLE ASKED
gliMIF SHE WANTED TO GO WITH HIM TO SAN FRANCISCO FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE, WHERE HE WAS DOING A
RACE. HE TOLD HER IT WOULD BE AN INEXPENSIVE TRIP FOR HER BECAUSE HE WAS DRIVING, THEY HAD A PLACE
TO STAY, SO SHE WOULD JUST HAVE TO PAY FOR FOOD. 11.1111AGREED TO GO BECAUSE SHE LOVED TO
TRAVEL AND THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR AN INEXPENSIVE TRIP. SHE TOLD HER PARENTS
ABOUT IT AND THEY DID NOT SAY MUCH ABOUT IT, BUT HER OLDER BROTHER THOUGHT IT WAS A BIT STRANGE.

MORE COMFORTABLE, SO SHE AGREED TO SLEEP THERE. 11.111GOT IN THE BED, BUT DOES NOT REMEMBER IF
SHE CHANGED CLOTHES OR WAS WEARING JEANS. GRANVILLE NORMALLY HAD ON JEANS AND A TIGHT V - NECK T-

MAY HAVE PUT ON SHORTS OR PAJAMA PANTS BEFORE GETTING IN BED. GRANVILLE GOT IN BED WITH
MOVED BEHIND HER IN A " SPOONING POSITION " WITH HIS ARM AROUND HER. SHE FELT HIM
HE MOVED HIS
TOLD GRANVILLE TO STOP, BUT THAT IS WHEN HE BECAME MORE PERSISTENT AND SAID SOMETHING TO
EFFECT OF " HAVING WITH A GUY IS NO DIFFERENT THAN HAVING WITH A WOMAN WITH " THE
WORDS WERE AND STILL ARE HURTFUL FOR BECAUSE GRANVILLE WAS AWARE OF HER SEXUAL
ORIENTATION AND WAS STILL TRYING TO HAVE WITH HER. SHE WAS VISIBLY UPSET AND TEARING UP AS SHE
DESCRIBED GRANVILLE ' S WORDS AND ACTIONS. AGAIN TOLD GRANVILLE " NO, " BUT HE CONTINUED TO
UNTIL PULLED HIS HAND FROM HER PANTS. SHE GOT OUT OF BED,
GRABBED HER CLOTHING, WENT TO HER CAR AND CRIED FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SHE THEN DROVE HOME AND
CRIED SOME MORE. SHE DID NOT SAY ANYTHING TO HER PARENTS OR ANYONE AT THE TIME. DID
EVENTUALLY TELL HER MOTHER A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER, AND HER
MOTHER ADVISED HER NOT TO TELL HER FATHER BECAUSE HE WAS STILL A TEACHER AT TPA.
IISENT GRANVILLE AN EMAIL AFTER THE INCIDENT AT HIS HOUSE ACTUALLY APOLOGIZING TO HIM
BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT SOMEHOW SHE HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG OR OVERREACTED. SHE SAID IN THE
EMAIL SHE KEPT BLAMING HERSELF AND SAID HER PSYCHIATRIST HAD CHANGED HER MEDICATION, SO SHE
BLAMED THAT AS WELL. HE DID NOT REPLY BY EMAIL, BUT SHE THINKS HE REPLIED VIA TEXT OR IN PERSON.
IMIODOES NOT HAVE THESE TEXT MESSAGES BECAUSE IT WAS AN OLD PHONE THAT BROKE AND IT WAS A
DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBER AT THE TIME. AFTER SHE SPOKE WITH GRANVILLEA DECIDED TO GO TO SAN
FRANCISCO BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT THE BOUNDARIES WERE ESTABLISHED AND HE AGAIN TOLD HER THAT SHE
WOULD NOT HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO SAN FRANCISCO FOR SUCH A LOW COST. WHILE THEY WERE IN
SAN FRANCISCO, NOTHING SEXUAL HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM, THEY WALKED AROUND, ATE AND DRANK WHILE
THEY WERE THERE. SHE DID SLEEP IN THE SAME BED AS GRANVILLE, BUT STAYED TO THE VERY FAR SIDE OF THE
BED BECAUSE THERE WERE ONLY TWO SPACE HEATERS IN THE APARTMENT. SHE DESCRIBED GRANVILLE AS
BEING SLIGHTLY QUIET AND RESERVED ON THE TRIP AND AT A LATER TIME HE TOLD HE WAS PRE-
OCCUPIED WITH FAMILY MATTERS.
1/0■ ND I ALSO DISCUSSED SOME FACEBOOK MESSAGES BETWEEN HER AND GRANVILLE DISCUSSING
THEIR DATING LIVES AND I HAD SEEN A FEW OF THESE MESSAGES WHICH WERE FORWARDED TO ME BY
JOHN=1. THE ATTORNEY FOR TPA. THERE WERE REDACTIONS ON THEM AND I COULD NOT SEE THE NAMES.
DID CONFIRM THAT SOME OF THE MESSAGES WERE REFERRING TO AND SHE TOLD GRANVILLE TO
STAY AWAY FROM HER BECAUSE SHE WAS NAIVE AND INNOCENT. 1.ALSO TOLD HER FRIEND AT THE
ABOUT WHAT GRANVILLE DID TO HER. ACCORDING TO
FOUND GRANVILLE TO BE CREEPY BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING TO SLEEP WITH HER TOO.
TOLD GRANVILLE IN FACEBOOK MESSAGES TO STAY AWAY FROM AS WELL. WE ALSO DISCUSSED THE
NUMEROUS EMAILS SHE HAD WITH GRANVILLE. MOST OF THEM WERE ABOUT HIM TRYING TO FIND ODD JOBS FOR
HER TO MAKE MONEY. IIIMWAS PAID TO WORK ON GRANVILLE ' S CAMPAIGN, HIS SISTER' S CAMPAIGN, AND
SHE GRADED PAPERS FOR HIM WHEN HE WAS TEACHING AT TPA. ALSO ADDED WHEN GRANVILLE
STATED HE WAS FAR REMOVED FROM WHOMEVER WORKED ON HIS CAMPAIGN, IT WAS AN OBVIOUS LIE BECAUSE
THEY WERE FRIENDS AND WENT TO SAN FRANCISCO TOGETHER.
ON 2/7/18, THERE WAS ANOTHER NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT A THIRD GIRL FROM TPA THAT CAME FORWARD WITH
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST GRANVILLE. HAD SENT ME A TEXT THE DAY PRIOR TELLING ME WHO THE GIRL
WAS IN THE ARTICLE, SO I ASKED HOW SHE KNEW WHO THE GIRL IN THE ARTICLE WAS SINCE SHE WAS NOT
IDENTIFIED. ACCORDING TO WHILE SHE WAS ON THE ROOF WITH GRANVILLE AT SOME POINT DURING
THEIR FRIENDSHIP, HE TOLD HER A STORY ABOUT ACCORDING TO GRANVILLE TOLD HER THAT
HE FELT LIKE HE WAS SET UP ON " KIND OF A DATE " WITH BY ANOTHER TEACHER, BECKY
WAS ALSO TOLD BY GRANVILLE THAT WAS INTERESTED IN HIM AND SHE PUT HER HEAD ON HIS
CHEST, BUT HE WAS NOT REALLY INTERESTED, ESPECIALLY ONCE HE LEARNED HER AGE. ACCORDING TO
HE ALSO SAID HE DID NOT FIND ATTRACTIVE AND HE SUPPOSEDLY TOLD ABOUT THIS TOO

SAID GRANVILLE LIKED TO GO ON THE ROOF TO HANG OUT. THE STORY WITH CAME UP BECAUSE
WAS TELLING GRANVILLE HOW SHE DID NOT GET ALONG WITH HER BECAUSE WAS A RING LEADER
OF KIDS THAT BULLIED WHILE SHE WAS IN SCHOOL. SHE SAID KNEW WHO WAS FROM TPA
AND WHAT HAD SAID ABOUT HER. BUT THEY WERE NOT FRIENDS EITHER. IS NOT SURE WHAT
TO THINK ABOUT CLAIM, BUT.I.IDENTIFIES AS A LESBIAN, SO GRANVILLE'S VERSION OF THE STORY
THAT WAS INTERESTED IN HIM DOES NOT REALLY MAKE SENSE. SHE ALSO ADDED THAT.I.IDENTIFIED
AS BEING GAY UNTIL HER RELATIONSHIP WITH GRANVILLE, THEN SHE IDENTIFIED AS BEING BI-SEXUAL. I ASKED
IF WAS THE GIRLII.WAS REFERRING TO WHEN....TOLD HER THERE WAS ANOTHER GIRL.
MI DID NOT THINK SO, BUT WAS NOT SURE; HOWEVER BASED ON INFORMATION OBTAINED ABOUT WHERE
WORKS AND STORY, IT IS THERE IS NOT A FOURTH GIRL AT THIS TIME.
.11=STOPPED COMMUNICATION WITH GRANVILLE AFTER SAN FRANCISCO AND AFTER HIS CAMPAIGN
ENDED. HE WOULD SEND HER THE GENERIC EMAILS HE WOULD SEND OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT TEMPE AND MAYBE
SOME FACEBOOK MESSAGES. .....STATED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE INTERVIEW THAT SHE CAME
FORWARD SO THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE AND TO SUPPORT STORY. SHE HAS NOT HAD
ANY CONTACT WITH GRANVILLE SINCE THE ARTICLE CAME OUT, BUT SHE DID HAVE FACEBOOK MESSAGES FROM
THE TIME THEY WERE FRIENDS. STATED SHE WOULD FORWARD THE FACEBOOK MESSAGES AND ALL
THE EMAILS INVOLVING GRANVILLE TO ME. I DID REFER INFORMATION TO THE VICTIM ADVOCATES TO
CONTACT HER AFTER I EXPLAINED TO WHAT SERVICES THEY COULD OFFER. ....DID SEND SOME
OF THE EMAILS TO ME; HOWEVER AT A LATER TIME SHE DECIDED NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PROSECUTION
AND DID NOT SEND ME THE FACEBOOK CONVERSATION WITH GRANVILLE OR ANY MORE EMAILS. THE REASONS
GIVEN BY NOT TO PROSECUTE ARE GRANVILLE'S POSITION IN GOVERNMENT, HER I- IS STILL A
THE BUSINESS OF HER LIFE WITH SCHOOL, AND SHE WANTS TO PUT THE EVENT BEHIND HER.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED, AFTER MY INTERVIEWS WITH AND COUPLED WITH OTHER INVESTIGATIVE
INFORMATION I VERIFIED THAT IS ACTUALLY AND WORKS FOR TEMPE COUNCILWOMAN
ON 03/05/18, I CONTACTED JULIA .= KOLBY GRANVILLE'S ATTORNEY TO FIND OUT IF HE WAS WILLING TO
SPEAK WITH ME REFERENCE THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM. SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE WOULD SPEAK TO HER
CLIENT AND GIVE ME AN ANSWER. AS OF 03/20/18 I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY GRANVILLE OR HIS
ATTORNEY, JULIAMI. GRANVILLE DID SEND AN EMAIL TO JOHN iM) TPA'S ATTORNEY, AFTER HE WAS
TERMINATED THAT ADDRESSES SOME OF THE ALLEGATIONS. HE ALSO SPOKE TO THE JOURNALIST WHO WROTE
THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE FOR "THE REPUBLIC". IN THE EMAIL AND ARTICLE, GRANVILLE DENIES EVER PROVIDING
ALCOHOL FOR ANYONE UNDERAGE OR EVEN KNOWING PRIOR TO HER GRADUATING FROM TPA. HE
ALSO STATED THAT HE ONLY DATED FOR 6 MONTHS AND THAT DID NOT START UNTIL THE START OF
HER SOPHOMORE YEAR AT . HE ACKNOWLEDGED THEY WENT ON A COUPLE OF DATES IN
APRIL OF 2016 WHICH IS WHEN STATED THEY STARTED DATING. GRANVILLE STATED HE WAS FRIENDS
WITH AND HER FAMILY, BUT DENIES ANY MEMORY OF DRINKING WITH HER OR TOUCHING HER. HE EVEN
STATED IF SHE WORKED ON HIS CAMPAIGN, SHE WAS SO FAR REMOVED HE DID NOT KNOW. PROVIDED
ME WITH EMAILS FROM GRANVILLE TO HER SPECIFICALLY ABOUT WORKING ON HIS CAMPAIGN. GRANVILLE
STATED.....INITIATED THE FACEBOOK MESSAGES TO HIM, BUT LOOKING OVER THE MESSAGES IT APPEARED
TO BE A VERY MUTUAL CONVERSATION. I DO NOT HAVE COPIES OF THE MESSAGES, I SAW THEM DURING MY
INTERVIEW WITH I1 HE IMPLIED AND HAD AN ON-GOING ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP
THAT ENDED WHEN HE STARTED DATING BOTH GIRLS ADMIT THEY WENT ON ONE DATE AT THE END OF
SENIOR YEAR AND THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF THEIR "ROMANTIC" RELATIONSHIP. GRANVILLE DID NOT
MAKE ANY COMMENTS TO THE MEDIA REFERENCE THE ARTICLE THAT CONTAINED ALLEGATIONS.
AND DO NOT WISH TO PURSUE THIS MATTER FOR PROSECUTION. AND

7RE CURRENTLY STILL FRIENDS,...IS NOT FRIENDS OR IN CONTACT WITH EITHER GIRL. THE
POSSIBLE CHARGES WOULD HAVE BEEN FURNISHING ALCOHOL TO A MINOR 11.1.11AND , ASSAULT
MI AND SEXUAL ASSAULT 1.1. THIS INVESTIGATION SHALL BE CLOSED AS THERE ARE NO VICTIM'S
WHO WISH TO MOVE FORWARD FOR PROSECUTION.
