Once there, Madplume insisted that the witness get into the water with him. The witness said he didn’t want to, citing two missing toes that had been amputated because of diabetes. He said Madplume convinced him to get in, saying it would help his foot, and once in the water, Madplume allegedly touched the man’s inner thigh while examining the foot.

The witness said Madplume made other advances in the water, as well as the sauna. When they returned to the pool, Madplume told him to turn around and take off his swimming trunks, the man said.

When he questioned why, the man said Madplume replied “You know what I mean.” The witness tried to get out of the water, but said Madplume shoved him back in.

“He wanted to rape me,” the man said.

During cross-examination, the man said Madplume never explicitly asked him to have sex, and did not touch his genitals.

Judge Larson told jurors before the testimony that Madplume was not on trial for these allegations, and that they could only be used to consider the establishment of a possible motive or intent in Kenmille’s death.
