The undersigned affiant, being duly sworn, deposes and says: 1. That the undersigned, Det. Cheryl Bradley, being duly sworn, do depose and state that she is a member of the Wallingford Police Department and has been a member of said department for a total of 11 years prior to the date hereof, and at all times mentioned herein were acting as members of said department. The following facts and circumstances are stated from fellow officers acting in their official capacities.

2. That on 04/07/09, a female victim (dob 01113160) came to the Wallingford P.D. to file a report in regards to a Larceny by Extortion involving a subject whom she met on-line and subsequently in person. That over the course of the investigation, the victim provided thousands of copies of emails sent to her by the suspect.

3. That the victim explained that in approximately October of 2003 she met a subject online who initiated communication using the AOL screen name of "Jailtime96". They communicated through email, instant message and eventually over the phone. The subject said that his name was Dave. Approximately 2-3 weeks after their first communication, they met in person in a commuter lot in Cheshire located off of exit 26 of Interstate 84. The victim recalled the first meeting being on November 2,2003.

4. That the victim admitted to engaging in sexual conversation and masturbating while talking to him on the phone during their relationship. During one of the occurrences, the victim recalled hearing a click and asked Dave ifhe was taping it, which he denied.

5. That within 2-3 months after their first meeting, Dave began requesting money and items such as a laptop computer, cologne and a ceIl phone. Initially, the victim was voluntarily giving Dave money and items because he made her believe that they were in a romantic relationship and he concocted elaborate stories as to why he needed the money. Dave arranged brief meetings in the parking lot of the Westfield Shopping Mall in Meriden to retrieve his cash and items.

6. That by Feb. of 2004 these emails became increasingly demanding and vicious in nature as he continued to request money. Dave began suggesting to her that he was keeping a book about her that he would send to her parents. By March, Dave began threatening to tell her parents personal and potentially humiliating information about her sex life.

7. That the victim stated that Dave claimed to have had his second laptop (which she also purchased) stolen by his ex-girlfriend. As a result, in March 2004, he ended communication via the computer under the screen name of Jailtime96, but would call her from pay phones or restricted numbers to set up meet times. The calls were always placed from Waterbury or Meriden exchanges. He would not provide her with his phone number, address or last name. _1__ of a page Affidavit)

STATE OF CONNECTICUT SUPERIOR COURT

AFFIDAVIT The undersigned affiant, beil]Q. duly sworn, deposes and says:

8. That in March of2004, the victim began receiving emails from a subject using the AOL screen name of "Rymmis II ", who claimed to be a friend of Daves. Rymmis claimed his name was Ryan and began establishing a relationship with the victim. Shortly into the relationship Rymmis began requesting money from the victim for both Dave and himself.

The victim never met Rymmis in person, but would continue to meet Dave. The emails from Rymmis do not appear to reach the point of extortion.

9. That in approximately August of2005, the victim began receiving emails from a subject using the screen name of Xserator4 7921, who also claimed to be a friend of Daves.

Xserator began acting as the middleman and immediately began asking for items and money, claiming that Dave needed them and he, as a middleman deserved to get something, When he wasn't getting everything he demanded, Xserator then claimed to have the tapes that he would mail out to her parents, her place of employment and post on an adult only website, noting that she had a sexy voice. Although not specified, the victim believed the tapes contained a telephone conversation with Dave that was of a sexual nature. Out of fear of these tapes being sent, resulting in her humiliation, she began taking out cash advances on her credit cards to provide some of the money requested. She never met Xserator in person, but she truly believed that Xserator was a separate person who arranged for Dave to pick up the items.

10. That a search warrant completed on the AOL screen names of Xserator 47921 and Jailtime96 revealed that both screen names belonged to David Reilly of 596 Highland Avenue in Waterbury. Another screen name registered to Reilly was Rymmis11.

11. That the victim was not able to pick Dave out of a photo line-up shown to her. She explained that the meetings with Dave were usually brief and he would often wear a hat.

12. That during subsequent investigation, it was determined that David Reilly (dob 03/15/69) is a Naugatuck Police Officer who owns the two family residence located at 596 Highland Avenue in Waterbury.

13. That a COLLECT representative researched the COLLECT activity on the victim's vehicle registration 147DXA. With the assistance of Lt. Harrison of the Naugatuck P.D. and Sgt. Jaffe of the Hartford P.D. it was confirmed that Officer David Reilly queried CT Registration I 47DXA on 11128/06 using a terminal authorized to the Naugatuck Police Department.

AFFIDAVIT The undersigned affiant, being duly sworn, deposes and says:

14. That only law enforcement or criminal justice agencies are authorized to access COLLECT and all users must be certified. As part of the certification process, the users are instructed about system security and users are issued a system security document, which states, "Under no circumstances is COLLECT to be used for personal reasons or curiosity". The victim stated that she has not to her knowledge ever been in the town of Naugatuck in her vehicle. Further, in one of the emails, "Dave" threatened to send the tapes to her home address. Dave specified her street address, although she never provided Dave with that information nor does she have a telephone listing in her name.

15. That throughout the summer and fall of 2009, Dave refused to meet with the victim for only $200.00, however per the direction of the undersigned and other members of the W.P.D., she told Dave that she could provide him with $400.00. During this ongoing communication, the victim continued to request the tapes be given to her.

16. That on 11119/09, Dave contacted the victim at 12:30 p.m. He instructed her to leave the money under the visor in her car parked in a public lot in Wallingford and that he would be there in about 30 minutes. He also asked if she had the cologne for the other subject (middle-man Xserator). Members of the W.P.D. placed $250.00 in an envelope and placed it under the visor in her car then maintained surveillance on the vehicle. At about 1:33 p.m., Dave Reilly was observed walking eastbound on Prince Street. He proceeded into the parking lot and walked over to the victim's vehicle. He opened the door reached in and grabbed the envelope. As he began to walk away, we approached him and identified ourselves.

17. That David Reilly who readily provided identification, voluntarily agreed to come to the police department for an interview, which was videotaped in its entirety. Dave denied doing anything wrong, claiming that he loaned the victim over $8,000.00 and was collecting that back. Dave admitted to currently having a computer and using the screen names of Xserator47921 and Jailtime96. He admitted to having a recording of a personal nature, but that it was on a hard drive, not in tape fonnat. He could not explain why he was threatening to send this recording to her parents and place of employment.

Throughout the interview, Dave stated that he had proof, a letter from the victim, thanking him for loaning her the money, however, he never provided us with the letter.

Meriden ~---

AFFIDAVIT The undersigned affiant, being duly sworn, deposes and says:

18. That it was subsequently determined that David was committing this act while on duty in plain clothes. It was also determined that David had parked his town of Naugatuck unmarked police department vehicle down the street and around the corner from the town hall parking lot in order to avoid detection.

19. That on 11119/09, the undersigned conducted an additional interview of the victim.

During this interview she said that she has never received any money from Dave. She did acknowledge that she had written him a thank you letter under his direction. The story he gave to her was that his ex-girlfriend was breaking into his house and he wanted to leave the letter out in the open so that she could see that he was helping out another female.

20. That in reviewing the victim's credit report, which she obtained from Transunion, it is apparent that she has accumulated an exorbitant amount of credit card debt since meeting David Reilly. The victim explained that prior to meeting Dave, she had no credit card debt. She has lived at home in Wallingford with her parents all of her life, was never married, never had children and has had a full-time job for the past 24 years. She had two savings accounts and was able to pay cash for her vehicle. The victim explained that after meeting Dave and subsequently being threatened with these tapes, she would obtain cash advances on credit cards and provide all of the proceeds to Dave. When the credit cards reached the maximum, she opened other cards and started getting cash advances on those. The victim's credit report shows debt in excess of$60,000.00.

21. That the undersigned obtained a copy of a Mohegan Sun Casino Patron WinlLoss Statement for the gambling activity on David Reilly (dob 03115/69). The statement reveals that since meeting the victim in November 2003, Reilly has lost in excess of $129,000.00. Reilly was losing money at the casino prior to meeting the victim, however, the yearly average increased dramatically once he began the extortion plot.

22. Wherefore the undersigned states that she has probable cause to believe that David Reilly (dob 03115/69) did commit the crimes of Larceny I S( Degree by Extortion in violation of c.G's. 53a-122 and Computer Crime 3rd Degree in violation ofC.G.S. 53a-254(a)(I) occurring in the towns of Wallingford and Naugatuck from February 2004 - November 19,2009.
