Man Convicted of Putting Semen in Co-Worker's Water to Appeal

[Blue_Tires]

Attorneys on Thursday are expected to argue a Fullerton man's appeal of his misdemeanor conviction for putting semen in a co-worker's water bottle.

Michael Kevin Lallana said in court documents there is insufficient evidence to support his Feb. 24, 2011 conviction on two misdemeanor counts of battery with sentencing enhancements for committing a crime for sexual gratification.

"No matter how repugnant what he did may be, it's not a battery," said Lallana's attorney, E. Thomas Dunn Jr. "There is no statute which covers this."

The first incident began when Lallana deposited his semen into the victim’s water bottle when the two worked together at Northwestern Mutual Financial Network in Newport Beach in January 2010.

Lallanos did it a second time in April of that year at a Northwestern branch in Orange. In an interview with police, he told investigators he chose Tiffany G.'s bottle because "she's very attractive," court documents said.

“(She) drank the contaminated water unaware of the bottle’s contents,” prosecutors said in a statement at the time of Lallana’s sentencing. “She threw the bottle away after tasting the contents and realizing the water was contaminated.”

1. "There is no statute which covers this."

Contaminating someone's drink with a possible biohazard isn't a crime?

3. The defendant's lawyer is simply lying.

Adulterating a food product without someone's knowledge? Using your own semen as the adulterant?

Dude's going down.

2. Ignoring the obvious violation

Did he really think that would work to attract her? I can't imagine a grown up being that stupid and remembering to feed him/herself.

4. In his mind, he probably did

or maybe this is his 'revenge' for her unmitigated gall of not noticing him, tearing his pants off and riding him right there in the office in view of everybody

5. That made me sick just reading about it. The guy is one creepy asshole.

6. "after tasting the contents and realizing the water was contaminated.”

Now that's a sensitive palate.

That reminds me of a great office elevator joke, but I think I will leave it alone.

What a creep. What in the heck inspires people to do that kind of crap?

7. He needs a life.

8. He needs a psychiatric evaluation

And he needs to someday discover the root causes of his resentful disdain of "undateable" women

9. Stupid lawyer. No specific statute? Give me a break.

Of course there probably isn't a specific statute against jerking off in someone's water bottle. But there are statutes against knowingly contaminating someone's drink and by his own admission he did it for sexual gratification. So he is guilty as charged.

11. It's just lawyer media-speak

There was some fundie lawyer in the Terri Schiavo case screaming up and down to the media that she had never even been officially "diagnosed" with an illness...

10. The dude is sick

I have a pretty good sense of humor, but I would never do that. It does remind me of something I did once.

When I worked PT for a food service company in college, my direct boss was the executive chief. I entered invoices for food that came in and inventoried food each week. As a perk I got access to drinks. One day I told my boss I was going to run upstairs and get something to drink and he asked me if I could bring him some coffee. I said sure. I mean I was going that direction anyway.

So I got my drink and his coffee, went over to the grill area and took out a raw egg. I cracked the egg and put it in his coffee, then gave it to him. After he drank it I told him what I did. He didn't believe me at first.
