A YOUNG WOMAN RECOUNTED ON WEDNESDAY WHAT SHE DID AND DIDN'T DO THE DAYS AFTER SHE WAS ALLEGEDLY SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY CASPER BUSINESSMAN TONY CERCY IN JUNE, AND HOW SHE COMMUNICATED WITH HER FATHER.

CERCY'S LEAD ATTORNEY PAMELA MACKEY ASKED HER WHAT SHE TOLD FRIENDS AFTER THE ALLEGED ASSAULT AT CERCY'S HOUSE NEAR ALCOVA LAKE, WHY SHE DIDN’T CALL AUTHORITIES, CONTACT HER PARENTS, OR GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A RAPE .

THE YOUNG WOMAN SAID MANY OF HER FRIENDS DID ENCOURAGE HER TO REPORT THE INCIDENT TO THE AUTHORITIES, BUT SHE REFUSED.

HOWEVER, SHE RESEARCHED INFORMATION ABOUT THE TIME LIMIT TO HAVE A RAPE KIT PERFORMED BEFORE IT IS NO LONGER OF ANY USE.

NATRONA COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY MIKE BLONIGEN CALLED HER FATHER TO TESTIFY, AND HE SAID HE AND HIS WIFE WERE OUT OF THE COUNTRY THE WEEKEND OF THE ALLEGED ASSAULT, RETURNED TO CASPER ON MONDAY JUNE 26TH, AND WENT TO WORK ON TUESDAY.

EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING, HE SAID HIS WIFE RECEIVED A TEXT FROM A FRIEND ABOUT SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO HIS DAUGHTER INVOLVING CERCY.

HE SAID HE CALLED HIS DAUGHTER ABOUT 9 A.M., BUT SHE DIDN'T RETURN HIS CALL.

ABOUT 9:30 A.M., HE WENT TO HIS DAUGHTER'S PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, CALLED HER TO MEET HIM OUTSIDE, AND SHE CAME OUT CRYING 10 MINUTES LATER.

SHE DESCRIBED THE ALLEGED INCIDENT WITH A DESCRIPTION OF HER WAKING UP AND SEEING CERCY PERFORMING ORAL SEX ON HER.

HE SAID AT THAT POINT SHE RECEIVED A CALL FROM CERCY, WHO SAID HE WANTED TO GET STRAIGHT WHAT HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND.

SHE GAVE THE PHONE TO HER FATHER WHO TOLD CERCY NOT TO CALL AGAIN AND THAT THEY WOULD “DEAL WITH THIS IN ANOTHER MANNER.”

FROM THERE, SHE AND HER FATHER WENT TO HIS OFFICE AND THEN THE WYOMING MEDICAL CENTER WHERE A RAPE EXAM WAS CONDUCTED AND SHE REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE NATRONA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
