Statement
I don’t know if this will make it, but I am devastated til this day about an incident that took place back in 2020. To break it down, I let Carlos Cabrera in August 2020 from a dating app called Plenty of Fish. I was single and told him my intentions were to find a relationship and I was looking for something serious. He persuade me first, and also said he was looking for a long term relationship. Carlos told me he worked for the Sacramento Sheriffs Department as a Homicide Detective. He sent me a photo of himself holding a badge which lured me in to trusting him. Carlos would always text me and communicate with me while he was working and on the job. He had sent photos of himself to me in Uniform stating he was at work. Carlos and I chatted for a few days, he told me he had never been married, never had kids, lived with roommates who were also cops, and lied about his age saying he was 35 years old (much closer to my age then 29) I felt that I could trust him. Carlos and I planned to meet at the Sheridan Hotel in Sacramento around 8:00pm August 19th 2020, which does have cameras, we met in the lobby and decided to hang out in the room. Carlos mentioned due to the outbreak there wasn’t much else to do or anywhere to meet. Carlos and I hung out and the room and talked for a while, and drank a little wine. Carlos then made a move on me, and started to kiss me on the bed. Carlos persuaded me into having unprotected sex with him. We stayed together probably until about 4-5am the next morning august 20th. Carlos and I continued to stay in contact after this meeting, he continued to lead me on. I tried breaking things off with him a couple of times due to his sneaky behavior but he always continued to peruse me saying he had a genuine interest in me (I have screen shots) Carlos then started to cat fish me online on Plenty of fish from many different fake profiles… I have screen shots of him not denying this … I then found out that Carlos was a 40+ year old married man with 3 kids. I feel he used his position to lie to me, and manipulate me. He used the time at work on duty to abuse the dating app and me. I would have never had anything to do with that man had I known he was married with 3 kids. I feel he caused me intentional emotional distress and I have even gone to 1 year of therapy trying to deal with what happened. The shame, the guilt, the embarrassment, the heartache, knowing that an “officer” in a position of trust, who is suppose to “protect and serve” can get away with doing this to me like I am trash and my life means nothing. I feel completely violated by him. Again I never would have had anything to do with him if I knew the truth, and it feels like a way to legally rape someone… I tried reporting this to internal affairs December 2021 but they never followed back up with me. I feel like people need to know and need to be warned …
