The rapes occurred in June 2020, and on the second occasion, Clay did not pay the woman the $ 50 agreed to have sex with the teenager.

He was wearing his work uniform and ordered the victim to perform oral sex on him, after which he raped her in the car. On the second occasion, the young woman was raped in the old city high school building, when Clay was also on duty.
