Corley of the West Virginia State Police, who was present during the forensic interview of the alleged victim, she stated that she was placed in Roy's care while her mother was incarcerated. The report states that the alleged victim was given a pill by Roy that made her pass out and that when she woke up "she discovered that her pants were down and her feet were tied together."

The report states that when interviewed, Roy's son advised CPS that his father had told him that "he had a vision that he had sexual intercourse with (the alleged) victim," and that the alleged victim went into Roy's room, "climbed on top of him" and "had sexual intercourse."

Additionally, the report states that, when given a ride to a convenience store by his ex-wife, Roy admitted to having visions of sexual intercourse with the alleged victim.
