The ex-girlfriend of Bobby Davis, one of two men who have accused Syracuse associate head men's basketball coach Bernie Fine of molesting him, said in a sworn statement that a prosecutor did not return repeated phone messages in which she intended to tell them Fine was molesting Davis, the Syracuse Post-Standard reported.
The woman, Danielle Roach, gave a statement to police on Monday, four days after ESPN's "Outside The Lines" detailed Davis' allegations against Fine, which included years of alleged sexual abuse. Another man, Davis' stepbrother Mike Lang, told ESPN that Fine molested him starting when he was in fifth or sixth grade.
Roach, in her statement, said the Onondaga County District Attorney's office, and specifically current First Chief Assistant District Attorney Rick Trunfio, didn't call her back, the Post-Standard reported.
"I called (First Chief Assistant District Attorney) Rick Trunfio and left multiple messages but never got a call back," she said. In her messages to Trunfio, Roach said she had information that a basketball coach at Syracuse had sexually abused a friend of hers, the statement said, according to the Post-Standard.
"I am not sure if I included the name of Bernie Fine in these messages or not," Roach's statement said. "I assumed that maybe since Detective Fox had already given us his answer, this was why I was not getting any return calls."
