A leaked police interview set off more than a year of public infighting in Milwaukee, rooted in relationships and controversies going back years. The man police questioned, Kalan Haywood Sr., has repeatedly denied sexual assault allegations and has not been arrested or charged.
November 4, 2014: After losing consciousness during a date, a woman identified publicly only as Jane Doe believes the man she’s been seeing, Haywood, drugged her drink and assaulted her.
December 15, 2015: Carmen Pitre, executive director of Sojourner Family Peace Center, and Edward Flynn, then Milwaukee police chief, sign a “memorandum of understanding” that says suspects will never be interviewed at Sojourner.

Jane Doe wasn’t the type who forgot to pick up her kids.
But on Nov. 4, 2014, her mother got a call from their school: Doe had never arrived.
She wasn’t answering her phone. Around 7 p.m., with panic setting in, a group that included her mother, her best friend and the father of her children showed up at Doe’s house.
Her mom called the Milwaukee police. The others broke a window and forced their way inside.
