Officials learned the relationship ended two years prior, but the two remained in contact.

Officials say the victim accused of Mittenmeyer of pressuring her for sex. When she declined, he forced himself onto her. She told Mittenmeyer, “No!” and to stop, but he did not.

Because of the nature of their relationship, the victim did not call 911 after the act because she did not think she would be believed.

Days later, the victim confronted Mittenmeyer about the sexual assault, recorded their conversation and he can be heard acknowledging the incident and expressed regret.

Mittenmeyer was found guilty of all three charges and will be sentenced later.
