SANTA ANA -- A man accused of ejaculating twice into a co-worker's drinking water has been convicted of assault and battery.
Michael Kevin Lallana "felt that was as close as he could get" to the 29-year-old executive assistant, said Deputy District Attorney Brock Zimmon.
"He did it for the purpose of sexual gratification."
The 32-year old from Fullerton admitted that he ejaculated into an "attractive" co-worker's water bottle because "her lips had touched it," but told detectives he never thought she would drink it.
He was charged with six misdemeanor counts of releasing an offensive material in a public place and assault, with sentencing allegations for committing a crime for sexual gratification.
Lallana's attorney Eduardo Madrid argued against the charged of misdemeanor assault and battery.
"There was no application of force," Madrid contended.
"It doesn't make any sense. How could there be an assault? (The co-worker) wasn't even there."
He faces a maximum sentence of one year in jail and sex offender registration at his sentencing April 22.
The incident happened on January 14, 2010, at the Northwestern Mutual Mortgage Company in Newport Beach, according to the Orange County District Attorney's office.
Investigators say Lallana entered the victim's office and deposited his semen into a water bottle that was on his co-worker's desk.
The defendant is accused of leaving the semen-filled water bottle on the victim's desk which she drank when she returned to her office.
The victim, who was unaware of the bottle's contents, drank the contaminated water. She threw it away after feeling sick, investigators say.
Three months later, the victim and six other employees, including the defendant, were transferred to the Northwestern Mutual Mortgage Company's Orange branch. That's where a second incident occurred, according to officials.
On April 9, 2010, Lallana is accused of assaulting the same victim by depositing his ejaculation into another water bottle that the victim left on her desk. The victim took a sip from the bottle, then felt sick. She decided to send the specimen to a private lab to be tested.
The lab contacted her and told her the water bottle contained semen, police said.
The victim then notified the Orange Police Department .
DNA tests confirmed the semen belonged to Lallana.
