According to the complaint filed in Morris's arrest, the woman was taken to an unspecified medical facility for treatment after the assault. She was interviewed by authorities on Jan. 7, the complaint said.

The complaint also cites witness statements and "corroborating video evidence" but does not go into detail on either.
