The ex-girlfriend of Brian James Adkison testified for about five hours on the first day of his retrial for rape and deviate sexual assault charges. She said that Adkison entered her home without permission in the early morning hours of May 4, 2013 and proceeded to perform oral sex on her against her will and then raped her. The defense argues that the sexual encounter was consensual and their relationship was ambiguous, pointing to a previous consensual encounter in February 2013. The ex-girlfriend denied the defense's characterization of her testimony as fabricated. Her parents were present in the courtroom and became emotional as she recounted the alleged assault.

Abusive foster mother gets 14 years in prison
By JOHN IWASAKI, P-I REPORTER
Updated 10:00 pm, Friday, December 7, 2007
KENT -- She stabbed her foster daughter's eyes with hypodermic needles, scorched her tongue with a stove-heated fork and dropped 10-pound weights on her feet.
Chornice Kabbelliyaa attributed her horrific behavior to severe mental illness, childhood sexual abuse and depression.
Her longtime victim -- Kabbelliyaa's cousin -- forgave her in court Friday, even as she pointed out that her relative, in custody for nearly two years, was "locked up and shackled -- exactly how I felt, once upon a time."
Judge James Cayce sentenced Kabbelliyaa to 14 years in prison Friday during a hearing at the Regional Justice Center in Kent, saying he doubted the mental assessment of the former foster parent conducted at Western State Hospital.
He noted that Kabbelliyaa, 34, who also goes by the last name of Lewis, had not committed similar atrocities on her own children and supposedly had not been found mentally unstable until she was incarcerated.
In September, Kabbelliyaa pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault.
Kabbelliyaa repeatedly offered her "deepest apologies" and said she was "not making excuses."
Her victim, whose words were read in court, accused her cousin of greed and said "the state was so blind to your deceit."
A state review of the case released earlier this year found "a system breakdown involving all stakeholders" -- the Department of Social and Health Services, the court system, the court-appointed special advocate program and service providers.
Because Kabbelliyaa said she was related to the victim, DSHS and others involved gave less oversight to the case and offered less protection to the girl. School authorities reported concerns about the girl's injuries and said her explanations and stories seemed scripted.
The girl felt that "what would happen at home would only get worse" if she spoke out, a prosecutor said in court.
But DSHS workers often gave the foster parent, described as combative and intimidating, the benefit of the doubt in investigating complaints, holding her less accountable than a non-relative caregiver.
The girl was not removed from Kabbelliyaa's apartment until January 2006. She had lost vision in her right eye and had puncture wounds in her left eye caused by hypodermic needles used to treat Kabbelliyaa's mother's diabetes.
Court documents also say that Kabbelliyaa heated forks on a stove and stuck them in the girl's mouth. Kabbelliyaa insisted to social workers and others that it was the girl who was out of control, not her. The girl and her three siblings had become dependents of the state in 1996 after their mother allegedly abused, neglected and exploited some of them. They were then placed with Kabbelliyaa. By 2000, a pattern of allegations of abuse, neglect and licensing violations emerged against Kabbelliyaa, though DSHS repeatedly relicensed her .

Ex-girlfriend testifies in Adkison rape retrial
BEN LANDIS Jul 15, 2015
COLUMBIA — The ex-girlfriend of Brian James Adkison again took the stand Wednesday
in a Boone County courtroom — seven months after a first trial ended in a hung jury — to
testify, over a span of about five hours, that Adkison had raped her.
In the first case, Adkison was charged with first-degree burglary, rape and deviate sexual
assault. A jury acquitted him of burglary, but they couldn't reach a unanimous decision on
the other charges, prompting Circuit Judge Christine Carpenter to declare a mistrial. The
retrial on the rape and sexual assault charges, over which Carpenter will again preside,
began at 9 a.m. Wednesday and recessed for the day around 7 p.m. Carpenter expects the
trial to last two or three days.

Both the prosecution and the defense agree that Adkison entered his ex-girlfriend's home
in the pre-dawn hours of May 4, 2013, and both sides agree that sexual contact occurred.
They also agree that the two had had sex in February of that year — though the ex-
girlfriend disputed the level of consent, saying she had "given in."
Adkison's ex-girlfriend was the only one who testified on the first day of the trial, and in
their opening statements and cross-examination, the attorneys — Ross Nigro Jr.,
Adkison's lawyer, and assistant prosecuting attorney Brouck Jacobs — made it clear she
would be central to building each of their cases.
2. In the course of questioning the ex-girlfriend, Jacobs submitted as evidence text
messages, photographs of bruising that were taken at a hospital as part of a sexual assault
exam, and a lengthy recorded phone call between the victim and Adkison.
The ex-girlfriend awoke that May morning to a silhouette in her doorway, she said, which
she quickly recognized as Adkison. "He was in my house, and he wasn't supposed to be,"
she said, her voice quivering.
In their past few interactions, she testified, he was depressed and controlling, and that
morning she was surprised to see him. She said when he started to perform oral sex on
her, she tried to push him off and failed. He then took off his pants and penetrated her,
she said, and she decided resisting wouldn't work.
Later, with help from investigators, she cold-called Adkison and recorded their
conversation. Jacobs played the recordings in the courtroom, which portrayed her trying
to coax him into corroborating her version of events. She said she knew he wouldn't
admit to a direct accusation, but her attempts to bait him into revealing a telling detail
didn't pan out.
On the call, he denied that he forced himself on her and repeatedly said that he would
never hurt her.
After the prosecution questions, Nigro asked the woman to remember specific statements
she made two years ago during the investigation and during the last trial, which he then
scrutinized against transcripts and other depositions.
Nigro made the case that their relationship was "ambiguous" and "confusing," and he
pointed to their sexual encounter in February to support that description. Even though
their relationship ended in the summer of 2011, the ex-girlfriend conceded that she had
been in contact with the defendant off and on — though she said he had initiated most of
it. And she said the sex in February was something that had bothered her at the time.
Concluding his line of questioning, Nigro wondered outloud how much of her testimony
she had fabricated. "This is not made up," she said. "This is not made up."

The ex-girlfriend's parents were in the courtroom for the proceedings. For most of the
trial they whispered to each other about what was going on. As their daughter told her
side of what happened, her mother began to sniffle and her father pointed his finger at
Adkison.
