you know, wide enough to actually get a large amount of food in my mouth. i also have bruises everywhere just from being hit in the face, as well as being hit on the ground. olson was only at the jail less than 24 hours before the attack. he had been out on bond before he was convicted and sentenced to five years for rape by instrumentation and was awaiting transfer to prison. nava and gonzalez say they attacked him because he raped a 12-year-old girl. but that was a false jailhouse rumor. rape by instrumentation basically means that you had some kind of penetration. and the penetration was with what? digital penetration, a finger. how old? she was 16 at the time. olson, who was 24 at the time of the incident, said he didn t know he was committing rape because the age of sexual consent in oklahoma in most cases is 16. he also says and court documents corroborate that he did not force himself on the victim.
jail, inmate rafael gonzalez recently assaulted erik olson because olson had just been convicted of a sex crime against a minor. inmate deany nava joined the attack, as well. olson wound up in the hospital. gonzalez is awaiting trial on multiple charges, including aggravated assault and battery, but now his attack on olson may result in new criminal charges. what do you think is going to happen to you, rafael? honestly, i don t know. he abused a little girl. and he s right next to me. what am i going to do about it? will you just let him be? probably you, you would let him be, but i can t let him be. nava, whose nickname is loco, might also face new charges on top of the eight-year sentence he just received for assault with a deadly weapon. he s currently awaiting transfer
they ll learn. i have no reason not to forgive because i ve been forgiven so many things. i get lots of people that get victimized but they don t want to cooperate. it s just part of the job. but due to the circumstances surrounding this, the inmates that were involved in the assault, i think it s a better route to go ahead and file the charges and seek prosecution. olson is awaiting transfer to prison to serve a five-year sentence for his crime. though he has been cleared by doctors to return to general population, sergeant collette has decided to not let that happen. erik olson will have to be put into protective custody. i can t have him out in the general population. he will be seen by the rest it s a pack mentality. you re the weaker of the pack, therefore you re going to be exploited, extorted, and/or beaten again. i m sergeant collette. administrative seg sergeant.
than the charge implies, he still became a target. rafael gonzalez threw the first punch. kind of like slow motion coming right at my face and i can t do anything about it. everything else just kind of seemed secondary to just me protecting, you know, the vital parts. deany nava also joined in on the attack. something must have happened because the next thing i know i m lying on the ground in a pool of blood and just kind of coming in and out of consciousness. and i well remember waking up in the ambulance. sergeant rames is preparing a case against nava and gonzalez to present to the district attorney. it s an aggravated assault because they beat him unconscious and then continued to beat him afterwards. a conviction for either man does not require olson s cooperation. but if prosecutors have it, they will be more likely to take the case. we re going to go in here and
nationwide. but eric olson, who arrived at tulsa county less than 24 hourss earlier but proved to be a magnet for violence. in this surveillance footage, olson is talking to the pod officer when he is brutally attacked. inmate rafael gonzalez begins the assault. officer love immediately calls for backup and orders him to stop. gonzalez is then joined by another inmate, nava, and both men continue beating olson. jail policy prevents officer love from attempting to break up the fight on his own. but after a minute into the assault just before backup arrives, love s orders are finally heeded. nava and gonzalez are immediately placed in disciplinary segregation cells where they will be locked up 23 hours a day and lose all privileges. olson s injuries are too severe to be treated on-site and he ju will be transported to a local hospital.sp olson was not a random victim.
