Charges Dropped: Las Vegas Teen Accused Of Raping Girl While Others Filmed And Laughed

Aiden Cicchetti was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on May 23 and released on May 25, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

While facing three felony sexual assault charges, he was released on his own recognizance with no electronic monitoring. This means he did not have to post bail.

His bail condition, set by a Las Vegas Justice Court judge, is to “stay out of trouble,” along with an order to have no contact with the victim.

A Las Vegas teen faces three charges of sexual assault after he was accused of raping a nearly unconscious teen girl in the back of a car while other teens filmed and laughed, according to an arrest report.

The victim told police that she and some friends were invited to a party bus on the night of Friday, March 24. She and her friends all drove to Red Rock Casino to get on the party bus at 9 p.m.


While on the bus, the victim met with a boy named Aiden Cicchetti. She told police that she and her friends were sharing a bottle of Tito’s and taking shots from an unknown bottle of alcohol that Cicchetti had brought.

According to the report, the victim told police that she was “feeling intoxicated” on the bus and that she had blurry vision and was stumbling. After the bus returned to Red Rock Casino, according to the victim, someone had mentioned a house party that was happening in Henderson.

Cicchetti, the victim, and several others, including two people that the victim did not know, got into a car and drove to the party in Henderson. The victim told police that at that point her vision had become much blurrier and that she was dizzy and nauseous.

Once at the house party, the victim and her friends continued to drink shots of Malibu until the unknown host of the party told everyone that the party needed to start clearing out of his house. The victim told police that she vaguely remembered walking to her car, but nothing after that.

According to the report, when the victim “came to,” she was in Cicchetti’s kitchen and was naked aside from a black corset top and a blanket wrapped around her waist.

The victim called her mother, who told her to come home. An unknown person who was with the victim at Cicchetti’s house helped her redress before she drove herself home. According to the report, she got home at around 3:40 a.m.

The victim told police that later that day, Cicchetti sent her a message on Snapchat and asked how she was feeling after he “[expletive]’d her down” the night before. She thought he was kidding.

According to the report, the victim noticed some vaginal bleeding, but “did not think much of it because she was hungover.”

The victim told police that late on Sunday evening, she was sent a Snapchat from her friend stating “LMAO look what I found on my phone.”

The report stated that the message contained three videos that showed the victim in the backseat of her car with Cicchetti, both without pants, while Cicchetti performed sex acts on her while others in the car “watched, laughed, and recorded on their phones.”

The victim drove to school Monday morning and rewatched the videos again in her car before her first class. The victim showed one of her friends the videos and told her that she did not remember any of it. That friend helped her report the incident and the videos to school staff.

According to the report, the friend who had sent the videos to the victim had her phone confiscated before it was given to the police. The victim was taken to the University Medical Center Hospital where she was given a SANE exam.


In a search of the victim’s car, officers found both the blanket and the corset top that the victim was wearing the night of the incident. “Several white stains” were found on the back seat, which were swabbed and will be tested for DNA and compared to a sample provided by Cicchetti, the report stated.

The victim was able to save the videos that were sent to her and give them to detectives. She told police that the videos were taken in her car.

In the first video, the victim is shown in the back seat of the car, laying on her back and naked from the waist down. According to the report, she appeared to be barely conscious and could be heard saying stop while Cicchetti was having sex with her. An unnamed witness(es) could be heard laughing in the background.

According to the report, in the second and third videos, Cicchetti can be seen performing sexual acts on the victim while she cried “No, no, no.”

Once Cicchetti was identified, he was taken into custody from his house. His mother, who identified herself as an attorney, followed. According to the report, Cicchetti asked what the charges were and was told it was for sexual assault, to which he responded that “he would never do something like that.”

According to the report, Cicchetti told police that he texted the victim later in the day to ask how she was doing. He told police he wanted to check on her because she had been stumbling and vomiting after the party bus.

When asked if he had sex with anyone the night of the party or the next morning, Cicchetti said no.

Police then showed Cicchetti the videos of him from the victim’s car, the report stated. When asked if it was him in the video, he confirmed that it was him, asked for an attorney, and began to cry.

According to the report, Cicchetti told police that the sex was consensual. He later told detectives that he did have sex with the victim, but that “he did not want to and her friends forced him.”

“Remarkably, Metro interviewed only one of the 4 people present with [the girl] that night,” Cicchetti’s attorney, Ross Goodman, said in a statement to 8 News Now. “That person as well as the three other witnesses interviewed by the defense confirmed [she] was coherent the entire night and insisted on trading places in the car so she could have sex with Aiden. She insisted on returning to Aiden’s house to hang out with him one hour after they had dropped him off. She was at Aiden’s house for a brief time with her friend and several other people before driving herself home. None of her friends described [her] as incoherent or blacked out.”

Horrible that she had to learn such a valuable lesson that you cannot trust everyone and that you cannot even trust your friends all the time.

 

[thuumpr]

They all learned a lesson which includes the judge who winked and told suspect to (paraphrasing) 'behave himself'.

Maybe too early for it to sink in for the judge.

The video SHOWS her as barely coherent, according the the article. His defense team says she was sober as a judge. I'm inclined to believe in video proof over defense attorney braggadocio 99.44% of the time myself though...

May have been as sober as this judge.

"Oh, my boy would never do something like that!"

Judge Thumper? Are you drunk in the morning/early afternoon again?

You've slurried my gud name! I've only had coffee today!

You've slurried my gud name! I've only had coffee today!

And I'm downright ashamed of myself that I did...

Killing me smalls

 

[Freyja]

So the judge lets him go free so he can do this to someone else? And the people laughing and filming as she was barely conscious and crying "No!" are true sociopaths who should also be facing charges. This young lady is going to have to deal with this for the rest of her life.

October 5, 2023

Charges were dropped against a Las Vegas teen accused of raping an intoxicated girl while others watched after a defense attorney presented evidence and witness statements to prosecutors that the girl had consented to have sex.

Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Pro Tem Curtis Brown, during a preliminary hearing for defendant Aiden Cicchetti, 17, agreed to dismiss the case on a motion by Chief Deputy District Attorney Rob Stephens.

Stephens declined to comment after the brief session but prosecutor Stacey Kollins said that the case was terminated because “the state did not think we could prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Outside the courtroom, Cicchetti’s attorney, Ross Goodman, said the charges were dropped because the defense was scheduled to cross-examine the alleged victim “where we had on our exhibit list videos, surveillance videos, text messages of the victim between a friend of Aiden, who’s my client, where she’s agreeing to have sex.”

“It was going to expose her to this evidence that completely contradicted what her version of events were,” Goodman said.

There is video of her saying, "no" and "stop" AS HE IS RAPING HER while she is in a clearly compromised state, so it shouldn't fucking matter if she initially consented, or had originally planned to consent as she wasn't fucking consenting then, and consent can be withdrawn ANY FUCKING TIME.

Fuck that defense attorney.
