Kitchings and his accuser testified during the 2018 trial, providing conflicting accounts of what occurred. During his interview with police, Kitchings denied the allegations and claimed the sex was consensual. The state did not offer a transcript or recording of the police interview into evidence. The opinion also concluded that the court erred by admitting the accuser's statement taken when she was at the sexual assault response care center at Wellington Regional Medical Center.
