David Morrow, a Nevada man accused of sexually assaulting an Ames

woman, testified Friday that he had sexual intercourse with the woman

accusing him but he said it was consensual.

“This is a case of consensual intercourse. It was a fling,” Paul Rounds,

Morrow’s defense attorney, said while addressing the jury.

Morrow said he had been out drinking in Ames on the night of July 12,ÿ

when he drove up to the restaurant where the woman was getting off

work. Morrow said he saw the woman in the parking lot and they began

talking for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. He said the woman gave him a

fake name.

“She asked me if I would like to come back to her place of residence and I

followed her,” Morrow said.

He testified that he allegedly followed the woman to her house where they

engaged in consensual sexual activity.

Morrow said the woman then asked him to leave. When Morrow asked to

stay longer, the woman refused and told him her real name and said she

had a boyfriend.

“At the time, I was a little intoxicated and it aggravated me,” Morrow said.

He said things got heated when Morrow allegedly threatened to tell her

boyfriend of the encounter.

Morrow testified that both of them left the residence and drove off in

separate cars. He said the last time he saw the woman prior to the trial

she was pulling back into the restaurant parking lot where she worked.

The woman testified Thursday that these allegations were not true.

“It makes me feel more violated than I already was,” the woman said.

On Thursday, the woman also identified Morrow as the man who allegedly assaulted her.

“This is the individual who did this to me. There is no doubt at all,” the woman said in court Thursday.

Ames Police officer Mark Watson testified Thursday that the woman had

reported being sexually assaulted in her home after returning from work

by an unknown intruder.

The woman was taken to the Mary Greeley Medical Center where a sexual

assault kit was used.

Kristan Evans, criminologist with the department of Criminal

Investigations, was called to testify by the prosecution Friday to provide

analysis of DNA results. Tests were done on clothing the woman wore to

the hospital and sexual assault kit samples.

Evans said the DNA profile obtained from the sample taken from running

pants matched Morrow’s DNA.

She said only one out of 100 billion individuals would share the same

DNA profile.

Evans also testified that samples taken from the assault kit were a

positive match to Morrow’s DNA.

The trial will reconvene Tuesday at 9 a.m. for closing statements by both

the prosecution and the defense.

Morrow is charged with burglary in the first degree, sexual abuse in the

second degree, and harassing in the first degree.
