Both Cizauskas and the woman took onslaughts from opposing lawyers during cross- examination as they testified.

Verhoff pointed out differences in the woman’s testimony from what she initially told police about the incident, and asked her why, if she was trying to avoid being sexually assaulted by Cizauskas, she didn’t call for help or even leave the room to find someone to help her. The questions brought the woman to tears.

The woman said she was, at that point, in her underwear.

“I didn’t want to run around in my underwear,” she said. “I’d just been assaulted.”

Verhoff also said that when she told Cizauskas to stop what he was doing, he stopped. But the woman responded that Cizauskas didn’t stop right away, taking between five and 10 more minutes, and that Cizauskas had said he wanted to “finish.”

Cizauskas testified that the incident was consensual sex between the two, and that the woman had not told him to stop until much later, and that he did stop when she told him to.
