Mr. Syndergaard, ah,
722
00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:46,375
you've been an ER nurse
at Mercy and also.
723
00:27:46,424 --> 00:27:48,462
Fire Island Pines Clinic
for over ten years?
724
00:27:48,570 --> 00:27:50,501
- Yes.
- And it's your testimony
725
00:27:50,550 --> 00:27:51,940
that you've never seen a man
726
00:27:51,988 --> 00:27:54,714
cause serious sexual injury to himself,
727
00:27:54,763 --> 00:27:57,946
especially when drugs
and alcohol are involved?
728
00:27:57,994 --> 00:27:59,530
I'm not saying it can never happen,
729
00:27:59,578 --> 00:28:01,151
just in my experience
in all those years...
730
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,644
Nothing further.
731
00:28:04,250 --> 00:28:07,448
It's very common for domestic
sexual assault victims
732
00:28:07,497 --> 00:28:09,368
to be reluctant to disclose,
733
00:28:09,417 --> 00:28:12,293
especially male victims
of female partners.
734
00:28:12,342 --> 00:28:13,488
At the hospital,
735
00:28:13,537 --> 00:28:14,612
Andy led us to believe
736
00:28:14,660 --> 00:28:16,297
that he'd been injured on the job.
737
00:28:16,345 --> 00:28:18,563
- But your belief changed?
- Yes.
738
00:28:18,612 --> 00:28:21,070
After speaking with Andy at his home,
739
00:28:21,392 --> 00:28:23,651
we had a new target
of the investigation.
740
00:28:23,730 --> 00:28:26,614
- Who was that?
- His wife, Diana.
741
00:28:27,189 --> 00:28:29,156
We began to investigate if she
742
00:28:29,204 --> 00:28:30,688
sexually assaulted Andy.
743
00:28:30,737 --> 00:28:33,314
And did Andy cooperate
with that investigation?
744
00:28:33,362 --> 00:28:34,482
Not at first.
745
00:28:34,530 --> 00:28:37,485
Again, not unusual at all in DV cases.
746
00:28:37,533 --> 00:28:40,196
Victims often try
to protect their abusers,
747
00:28:40,346 --> 00:28:41,864
especially when there are children
748
00:28:41,912 --> 00:28:44,105
and custody issues at risk.
749
00:28:44,290 --> 00:28:47,078
Andy did eventually fully disclose,
750
00:28:47,126 --> 00:28:49,551
after his wife falsely accused him
751
00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:50,915

761
