Cook had been working as a caregiver or “homemaker” for the woman for about a month after the two met at a laundromat, according to the complaint.
Last Saturday, St. Paul police were notified of a reported sexual assault that had taken place the night before in the 100 block of South Western Avenue. Officers met with the woman and her sister, who reported the incident, according to the complaint. The woman is a “reported vulnerable adult due to a number of physical infirmities,” according to the complaint.
The woman said Cook came over to her West End residence on Friday, and after working for several hours, Cook asked to stay the night because there was a storm, according to the complaint. The woman was apprehensive at first, but agreed, assuming Cook would sleep on the couch, the complaint said.
Later that night, the two had a beer, and Cook also drank gin and smoked marijuana, the complaint said. When the woman was later in her bedroom getting ready for bed, Cook entered the room and asked to see the woman’s breasts, according to the complaint.
Cook then proceeded to try to sexually penetrate the woman, the complaint said. The woman said she repeatedly told Cook “no” and that due to prior surgeries, having sex would cause her injuries and she would need to go to the hospital, the complaint said.
Cook ignored the woman’s pleas and continued to assault her, the complaint said. He then fell asleep and left the next morning, according to the complaint.
Cook was later brought to the St. Paul Police Department to be interviewed. Cook confirmed that he was a personal care attendant for the woman and said that he and the woman had “a little thing going on,” the complaint said.
Cook said he spent the night at the woman’s residence after he finished working and that the two engaged in consensual sexual acts, but that he did not penetrate her, the complaint said.
