VIA: FROM: SUBJECT:
Chain of Command Commander Matthew J. Irwin CID/Sex Crimes Unit Deputy Anthony Rusciano
During the course of a criminal investigation being conducted by Sergeant John Allen and Corporal Yuri Melich, information was learned that Deputy Anthony Rusciano may know the target of the investigation. When the investigators contacted Deputy Rusciano by telephone, Deputy Rusciano admitted that he had met the individual for a very brief moment at a party they both attended. Deputy Rusciano denied ever having any further contact with that person. The matter was then abandoned as an investigative lead. On August 18,h, 2008, subsequent to a forensic analysis of the target's computer it became apparent that Deputy Rusciano's earlier statement was incomplete concerning his knowledge of the investigation's target. Deputy Rusciano was then contacted by the investigators and requested to respond to CID, which he did. Again, investigators asked him to clarify his relationship with the target of the ongoing investigation and again Deputy Rusciano provided inaccurate and incomplete responses. Ultimately, the investigators confronted Deputy Rusciano with the evidence recovered from the computer examination which led Deputy Rusciano to admit he had lied to the investigators. This final statement wherein Deputy Rusciano confesses his untruthfulness was audio recorded. Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information regarding this matter.
