Court document details on rape charges against two Lloyd Irvin students

By Zach Arnold | January 12, 2013

Print Friendly and PDF

On January 7th, WJLA (ABC 27 affiliate in the Washington D.C. TV market) reported that two male students of Lloyd Irvin, Matthew Maldonado & Nicholas Schultz, were arrested on sexual assault charges. Authorities claim that the rape of a female Lloyd Irvin student was caught by surveillance cameras.

On January 10th, WJLA filed a report about Maldonado & Schultz appearing in court. Lloyd Irvin issued the following statement on the matter:

“We are so concerned about the victim’s well-being and we are talking to her about what we can do to support her during this traumatic time. But she is strong, a wonderful young lady, and we are confident she will get through this period and move on with her life. She is eager to start training with us and we are going to be there for her in any way that we can.”

On the same day (1/10), Brent Brookhouse wrote the following article: Case involving students revives interest in old rape case possibly involving Lloyd Irvin

After this article was published, an item on PRWEB from Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts touted a rape prevention & self-defense seminar for February 2nd.

Lloyd Irvin’s Martial Arts Academy is fully dedicated to empowering as many women as possible. Information is power and arming women with the ability to be smart, aware of their surroundings and defend against an attacker is top priority in the Ladies Kick Butt seminar and program.

If you are a woman or have a woman in your life, it is imperative that they attend this seminar to learn life saving techniques.

On January 11th, Brent Brookhouse wrote an article claiming that Lloyd Irvin purchased a web site called LloydIrvinRape.com.

We’ve had a chance to look at the criminal complaints & warrants filed against both Maldonado & Schultz. Here’s what the documents state.

On January 1, 2013 officers from the 2nd District responded to a radio run at 0356 hours for a Criminal Assault. Once on the scene officers located the Complainant (name redacted) who advised that she was sexually assaulted. Medical assistance arrived on the scene and transported the Complainant to the Washington Hospital center. The officers requested the assistance of the Sexual Assault Unit. Detectives Griffin and Johnson responded to 1725 Rhode Island Avenue, NW (Saint Matthews Cathedral) and was met by Ofc Thompson. Ofc Thompson directed the detectives to the parking garage entrance (where the gate is located) where the Complainant stated that the assault occurred.

While on the scene, Ofc Thompson informed the detectives that Ofc Denton was flagged down by the witness who stated that IT had called 911 for a woman who was raped. While on the scene, Ofc Thompson called Ofc Denton and obtained the telephone number of the witness. Ofc Thomspon telephoned the witness and requested that IT respond back to the scene to meet with the detectives. The witness stated that IT was walking in the 1700 block of Rhode Island, NW toward Connecticut Avenue, NW. The witness stated that as IT was walking past the driveway of Saint Matthews Cathedral, IT could hear someone cry out, “help”. The witness stated that IT walked down into the garage area, where IT located the Complainant lying on the ground with her head near the gate and her dress pulled over her waist. The Complainant provided the witness with the name “Nick” as the person who sexually assaulted her.

The Witness stated that IT advised the Complainant that IT was going to call 911 for her. The witness remained on the scene until the first officer arrived. As the responding officer pulled in the block, the witness flagged him down and directed him to the location of the Complainant.

Detectives Griffin and Johnson responded to Washington Hospital Center and interviewed the Complainant. The Complainant was intoxicated and had an odor of alcohol emanating from her breath during the interview. The Complainant reported that she went to the Midtown Club by herself to celebrate the New Year. The Complainant reported that she went to the Midtown Club by herself to celebrate the New Year. The Complainant stated that she was there for approximately one hour, during which time she bumped into the Defendants (Nicholas Schultz and Matthew Maldonado), who was inside the club. The Complainant stated that she knew both of the Defendants from the Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts Academy, where she was an employee and a current student. The Complainant stated that she thought she and the defendants were walking to the Defendant’s car but then they ended up in the garage where she was sexually assaulted. The Complainant stated that she thought that they were going to the home of one of the Martial Arts Academy instructors, where she would be able to sleep.

The Complainant stated that once in the garage area, Defendant Schultz forced her to the ground and that while on her knees, he placed his penis in her mouth. The Complainant stated that while on the ground, Defendant Schultz had vaginal intercourse with her. The Complainant described the events by stating Defendant Schultz used his “private parts” to smack her across her face and also stuck his “private parts” in her “private area” and in her mouth. The Complainant stated that during the course of the sexual assault she asked Defendant Schultz to stop. However, Defendant Schultz continued to have sexual intercourse with her against her will and without her permission. During the sexual assault, the Complainant sustained injuries to her face, arms, hands and knees. The Complainant stated that Defendant Schultz did not use a condom and she does not know if he ejaculated. The Complainant stated that after the assault, Defendant Schultz told her, “I’m sorry. I’m a sick bastard.” The Complainant stated that she does not recall if Defendant Maldonado had sexual intercourse with her. The Complainant does recall that Defendant Maldonado walked into the garage with her and Defendant Schultz and that he left the garage area before Defendant Schultz.

Addition information was discovered pertaining to the sexual assault of the Complainant. Further investigation revealed that the Complainant along with Defendants Schultz and Maldonado all walked into the garage driveway together. The garage driveway is located adjacent to 1725 Rhode Island Avenue, NW but is attached to the building located at 1717 Rhode Island Ave. NW. A security surveillance camera affixed to the ceiling captured the three of them as they walked into the garage driveway and out of the public’s view. The Complainant appeared to be staggering as defendant Maldonado walked next to her into the area with his arm around her. Defendant Maldonado appeared to be holding the Complainant up. Once inside of the location, Defendants Schultz and Maldonado then walked the Complainant to the far right corner of the garage driveway and positioned themselves and the Complainant next to the garage entrance gate.

While standing next to the gate, Defendant Maldonado stood behind the Complainant and began to undo his pants. Defendant Maldonado then pulled his pants down, grabbed the Complainant around her waist and began to have sexual intercourse with the Complainant. While Defendant Maldonado was engaging in sexual intercourse with the Complainant, Defendant Schultz began to undo his pants. Defendant Schultz then grabbed the Complainant by her hair and forced her head down to his crotch area to perform oral sex on him. This activity continued on for several minutes, after which Defendant Maldonado disengaged. The Complainant then fell to the ground, at which time Defendant Maldonado pulled his pants up and walked away, leaving Defendant Schultz and the Complainant at the location.

After defendant Maldonado’s departure, defendant Schultz stayed behind and continued to force the Complainant to perform oral sex. The Complainant then fell to her knees, at which time defendant Schultz also got on his knees, positioned himself behind the Complainant and began to have sexual intercourse with her while grabbing and holding the Complainant by her waist. While continuing to engage in sexual intercourse with the Complainant, Defendant Schultz then grabbed the Complainant around her neck in a choke hold. Defendant Schultz then stood up and walked to the front of the Complainant at which time he again got on his knees. Defendant Schultz then began to force the Complainant’s head down to his crotch to force her to perform oral sex.

Defendant Schultz then began to try and hold on to the Complainant, at which time her head dropped to the ground. Defendant Schultz again grabbed the Complainant by her head, forcing it down to his crotch to force her to perform oral sex. Defendant Schultz also began to grab the Complainant around her neck, and began forcing her head in an up and down motion on his penis. Defendant Schultz then grabbed the Complainant around her throat to kiss her, at which time she fell backwards striking her head against the wall. Defendant Schultz then grabbed the Complainant and pulled her close towards him. Defendant Schultz continued to hold onto the Complainant until she fell backwards and struck her head again on the wall, with Defendant Schultz falling on top of her.

The Complainant then pushed Defendant Schultz off her as her body slumped to the ground with her head still against the wall. Defendant Schultz then advanced toward the Complainant and began to lie on top of her. Defendant Schultz again pulled the Complainant towards him, holding on to her until her body collapsed again, this time her head striking the ground. Defendant Schultz then leaned his body on top of the Complainant and began to kiss on her body as she lay defenseless on the ground. Defendant Schultz stopped momentarily, looking around the corner and returned to kissing the Complainant on her body. Defendant Schultz stopped and looked around the corner a second time as Defendant Maldonado returned to the location. As the Complainant continued to lie on the ground, Defendant Maldonado stood over her while Defendant Schultz continued to kneel beside her motionless body. Defendant Maldonado then began to back away as he watched Defendant Schultz lie on top of the Complainant again.

Defendant Schultz then grabbed the Complainant again and forced her head to his penis area. Again, the Complainant collapsed to the ground. Defendant Schultz then leaned back and removed his penis from his pants. He then grabbed the Complainant’s head and leaned into her face, forcing his penis into her mouth. Defendant Schultz then grabbed the Complainant again and began to kiss her about the body. Defendant Schultz again grabbed the Complainant’s head as she continued to lie on the ground and leaned into her face, forcing his penis into her mouth. Defendant Schultz repeated this activity multiple times as the Complainant lie defenseless on the ground. Defendant Schultz then straddled the Complainant’s body as he struck her multiple times in the face with his penis. The Complainant began to move her arm and legs, at which time Defendant Schultz got off of her.

Defendant Schultz then attempted to lift the Complainant off the ground but was unsuccessful as her unconscious body collapsed, causing her to hit her head on the ground. Defendant Schultz then stepped away from the Complainant and began to refasten his shirt and pants. Defendant Schultz then knelt beside the Complainant and lifted her forward. Defendant Schultz then placed his body against the Complainant and continued to hold her as he had her body bent forward. Defendant Schultz again tried several more times to lift the Complainant’s unconscious body but was unsuccessful as she collapsed each time.

Unable to get the Complainant to stand up, Defendant Schultz placed her unconscious body against the garage door gate as she sat on the ground, at which time he sat down beside her. Defendant Schultz tried several times to lean in towards the Complainant but she was able to push him away. Unable to remain sitting up, the Complainant eventually fell over on her left side. Defendant Schultz remained seated on the ground and began to lean over her. Defendant Schultz tried one last time to lift the Complainant to her feet, to no avail. The Complainant’s unconscious body once again collapsed to the ground causing her to strike her head against the wall. Defendant Schultz then stood up and walked away, leaving the Complainant lying alone on the ground. The Complainant lied on the ground for several minutes before being discovered by the Witness, who called 911. The Complainant was transported to Washington Hospital Center by DC EMT Ambulance #26 and a SANE examination was conducted.

The Complainant provided the name Nick Schultz as the name of one of the Defendants. Detective Griffin conducted a WALES search on the defendant’s name (Nick Schultz) which was provided by the Complainant. No WALES/NCIC response was found with the name the Complainant provided. Detective Griffin conducted a GOOGLE search to the Defendant’s name (Nick Schultz). From the GOOGLE search the Defendant’s open “FACEBOOK” page was located. Based on information obtained from the Defendant’s “FACEBOOK” page a NLETS search was done of the Defendant’s name Nicholas Schultz in the State of Texas. A NLETS response of the name Nicholas Schultz with a date of birth 10-25-1991 was returned.

A photograph of the Defendant Nicholas Schultz was obtained from the Defendant’s “FACEBOOK” page and printed. This photograph was used as a confirmation photo which was shown to the Complainant on January 1, 2013. The Complainant identified the person depicted in the photograph as the person she knows as Nick Schultz. The Complainant indicated that Nick Schultz was the person who penetrated her vagina and mouth with his penis in the parking garage on January 1, 2013, against her will. The Complainant confirmed that she has known Defendant Schultz for over five months. The Complainant stated that she and Defendant Schultz were previously employed as co-workers at the Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts Academy, during this time they saw each other almost daily.

On January 1, 2013 Detectives Griffin and Johnson responded to the home of Defendant Schultz at which time they were met at the door by Defendant Matthew Maldonado. Defendant Maldonado provided Detectives with a New York state identification card which identified him as Matthew Maldonado with a date of birth of 4-3-86. The Detectives subsequently made contacted with Defendant Schultz who stated that Matthew Maldonado was with him at the Midtown Club and walked with him and the Complainant to the garage. Detective Griffin conducted a WALES search on the Defendant’s name (Matthew Maldonado) which was provided by Defendant Schultz. No WALES/NCIC response was found with the name Defendant Schultz provided. Detective Griffin conducted a GOOGLE search of the Defendant’s name (Matthew Maldonado). From the GOOGLE search the Defendant’s open “FACEBOOK” page was located. Based on information obtained from the Defendant’s “FACEBOOK” page a NLETS search was done of the Defendant’s name Matthew Maldonado in the state of New York.

A photograph of the Defendant Maldonado was obtained from the Defendant’s “FACEBOOK” page and printed. A photo spread was constructed using the Defendant’s photo and eight filler photos. This photo spread was shown to the Complainant on January 2, 2013. After viewing the photo spread the Complainant pointed to the photograph of Defendant Maldonado and stated, “Mateo.” The Complainant was asked who is Mateo? The Complainant responded that he goes to the Academy and he was at the garage. The Complainant stated that he has a “FACEBOOK” page. A search of “FACEBOOK” revealed that Defendant Maldonado has multiple “FACEBOOK” pages. On one page he is identified as Matthew Maldonado and on another page he is identified as Mateo Maldonado.

Based on the above facts and information it is requested that a duly appointed Judge for The Superior Court of The District of Columbia issue an arrest warrant for the Defendant Nicholas Schultz who is in violation of DC Code.

    Moral of the story here kids is if you’re gonna go out and do some rapin’s make sur your bookface page is set to private cuz bad boys whatcha gonna do? When Sheriff John Brown come for you, bad boys bad boys….

    • Light23 says:

      And don’t pick a place where there is a camera recording everything.

      It makes me wonder though. If there had been no camera, how would that have affected the case? It’s scary to think they could’ve potentially gotten away with it.

    • mizark says:

      That’s the moral?

    • Liz says:

      Actually, the moral of the story is “if you’re inclined tomrape somebody, don’t do it!”

    • Stephanie says:

      The moral of the story is, don’t be a rapist.

    • JordanO says:

      Its insane to blame any coach or team member for the actions of adults. Football and pro team members are in trouble all the time, but I have never seen anyone attack their coach or say they are responsible. How ridicilous!

    Mateo is just as sociopathic as Shultz…having both raped her, and hanging near by “waiting” for Shultz to finish. It doesn’t sound much different from Lloyd Irvin’s 1990 case. Deranged males, standing around raping a woman, and watching each other rape a woman. Sickening. Sickening. Sickening.

    • kathleen callos says:

      I should add, if in fact, that it is the same Lloyd E. Irvin in the 1990 Bowie case, that is the coach and employer of these two men…still waiting to hear that it wasn’t. I am really hoping it wasn’t, but each day, without a public statement indicating it wasn’t, I feel less hopeful. This is all just so sad.

  4. Michael Neal says:

    Integrity and character need to be an integral part of all martial arts. Jigaro Kano was right that everyone should not be taught this stuff. \”Mutual Welfare and Benefit\” was a central tenet in his formation of Judo which later Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was derived from. A Jiu Jitsu choke was used in this attack, what further evidence does one need? Not everyone who has a few bucks should be allowed to train this stuff. There needs to be a lot more thugs and people with bad character weeded out from the beginning by instructors. And more needs to be taught by instructors than winning medals and learning how to fight.

    • edub says:

      Personally, I don’t think it had much to do with martial arts. Even if they were just two averaged sized “novices” off the streed I don’t think there is much she could have done.

      Hell, if they were part of a gym where honor, integrity, and spiritual enlightenment were everyday objectives they could have just faked it.

      Both of these men should recieve the maximum punishment authorized by law.

    • D says:

      Michael, your comment is so ignorant it makes me want to puke.

      This is dumb. You don’t need any training to choke a drunk woman who couldn’t even sit up. And rape chokes aren’t even taught in BJJ, because it’s just grabbing someone at the throat with both hands. And how hard is it to learn a RNC from YouTube. Give me a break. It’s sad that this happened, and these 2 dirtbags will go to jail for a long time and have plenty of chances to use their BJJ to defend their butt-holes there. But no school can check up and keep tabs on all of their students, c’mon.

    • Joe says:

      You do great work Zack, I feel you don’t get the respect or page views you deserve. There isn’t much real journalism in MMA, let alone quality investigative journalism like the you churn out. Kudos

    • Victor says:

      Anyone who sat through the trial and saw the video will tell you that the police report is accurate to a degree but very flawed. There are a bunch of very important details that are not in the report. There are also comments that totally contradict human capacity.

      Lets look at this section: The Complainant stated that once in the garage area, Defendant Schultz forced her to the ground (This was not on the Video) and that while on her knees, he placed his penis in her mouth (which she held with her hand). The Complainant stated that while on the ground, Defendant Schultz had vaginal intercourse with her. The Complainant described the events by stating Defendant Schultz used his “private parts” to smack her across her face and ( she garbed it and put it in her mouth) also stuck his “private parts” in her “private area” and in her mouth. The Complainant stated that during the course of the sexual assault she asked Defendant Schultz to stop. However, Defendant Schultz continued to have sexual intercourse with her against her will and without her permission (while she looked at her cell phone and pushed her body back).

      Here’s another thing I find sketchy:
      Unable to get the Complainant to stand up, Defendant Schultz placed her unconscious body against the garage door gate as she sat on the ground, at which time he sat down beside her. Defendant Schultz tried several times to lean in towards the Complainant but she was able to push him away. Wait! Wasn’t she unconscious?

      The Complainant stated that she does not recall if Defendant Maldonado had sexual intercourse with her. The Complainant does recall that Defendant Maldonado walked into the garage with her and Defendant Schultz and that he left the garage area before Defendant Schultz. at the end of the video. The Complainant stands up, balances her self on one foot, puts on her Uggs and walks to the ambulance gurney. This is someone who was unconscious and could stan up 40 minutes earlier. How many people get that drunk and slip in and out of consciousness? NONE! How many people can balance themselves on one foot and put on Uggs while slipping in and out of consciousness? NONE. Toxicolgy reports proved that she was no where near being unconscious from alcohol.

  12. Dr. Belisa says:

    Zach, Thank you for covering this important topic. A lot of people work hard to make sure MMA gets the respect and appreciation it deserves, this case is a terrible disgrace to the entire community. Note that both rapists were employees, not just students of LI.

  13. mandog says:

    of course u cant blame llyod for his students raping someone he was instructing them in bjj not rape 101 dduuhh

  14. CaseWatcher says:

    The Jury just got the case. but before they got the case they added two additional charges. Misdemeanor sexual abuse and theft. Why? There’s very little chance that the defendants will be convicted of 1st or 2nd degree sexual abuse (based on the evidence) and the cell phone taken was not directly taken from the CW. And the jury was instructed that if they are not convicted of 1st and 2nd then the defendants cannot be charged with attempted aggravated assault since leaving someone there cannot be committed a crime if a crime was not committed. The verdict should be in today or tomorrow.

  15. CaseWatcher says:

    Not Guilty is the verdict for Matthew Maldonado! You can all thank Georgette for that…. Nicholas has one charge on Deadlock and has been found not guilty of all other charges

  16. Janet Lee says:

    Reading the report made my blood boil, but then my law school training kicked in and I remembered that there are always two sides to every story, which is why in this country, we have the presumption of innocent until proven otherwise. The complaint above is just one side of the story. In the trial, all the facts came out, and if in fact they were acquitted of all charged, then they did nothing wrong and the story did not play out as described in the original complaint (remember, the complaint is just one side’s version of the events). It could very well be that the women gave consent, but later regretted her decision and decided to press charges (wouldn’t have been the first time this happened). While we may never know all the little details, in the eyes of the law, these men did nothing wrong and the presumption can now only be that the story the alleged victim gave had some problems with it. As a women, I am 100% against rape. I do know, however, that peoples stories and versions of events can change, as can peoples perceptions.

    • Sarah says:

      Janet, the fact that your “law school training” left you with the impression that “In the trial, all the facts came out, and if in fact they were acquitted of all charged, then they did nothing wrong and the story did not play out as described in the original complaint”, then maybe I now understand why Maldonado and Schultz got off. To say they did nothing wrong is an outrageous comment. Aside from the fact that you can’t legally give consent while falling down drunk, these animals left her for dead in a parking garage in NW DC at 3AM, half naked, in 38 degree weather- after she hit her head numerous times and was in and out of consciousness. Thank you for the clarity that people like you are the reason why our legal system is so deranged.

    • hr says:

      Janet,
      In your efforts to show fairness, not only do you unconsciously renounce your womanhood, but along with defense attorney’s that take a cases like this one, you reveal the absolute deepest level of diabolical and inhumane nature that has become second nature for so many attorney’s. Get a good therapist.

      • Victor says:

        Has anyone ever bother to ask why Aaron France’s post differs so much from that of the police report? I understand that he’s a DC police officer and that he trains at a MMA or Ju jitsu school run by a former disgruntle Lloyd Irving business associate. As a police officer you are trained to observe and note down details as accurately as possible. Speaking as someone who was at the trial everyday, I can honestly tell you that Aaron France’s account of what is on the video is a total fabrication. None of what he wrote on his Facebook page is true. The police report is accurate to a degree; however, it is only one interpretation of what is on the video. You have the prosecutor’s side and the defense side. Each side presented their version of what happened that night. The prosecution, in an effort to make a case, blew this story up beyond belief. Listening to the opening statements was an amusement because I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about. But then again, the jurors didn’t see the video yet. I did. Without any other information from the prosecutor, detectives, first scene responders, SANE nurse testimony, toxicology reports, witness testimony, and so forth, my mind had already been made up. These guys are going to jail for STUPIDITY! I am thinking 93% success rate for the federal government is not bad at all. But, they didn’t have a chance in hell at prosecuting these men for Rape, Robbery, Kidnapping, or Attempted Aggravated Assault. So I sat there at the trial for as long as it took. I heard testimony from the detectives, the CSI team, the homeless man, The SANE nurse, the ER physician in charge that night, the expert testimony of toxicologist, the police officer who dated the CW, the CW’s friend from the mall, her mother, a few people from the club, TLI members, and the list goes on and on. I sat there and saw the prosecution present slide shows, blown up photos of the surrounding areas; photos of the garage, and then it occurred to me that they knew that they didn’t have a case. The prosecution didn’t have a case! They had a surveillance video. They had a cell phone video. But, they didn’t have a case. This bjj community, upon hearing the news, quickly tried and convicted these men on social media. This action fuel by haters of TLI took to the Internet and said what ever they wanted based on hearsay and 2nd & 3rd hand information. Here’s my take and you can say it’s biased or not. These men are not guilty. Are they stupid? Yes. Is she stupid? Yes. Do I consider her a victim? No. People go to bars. People drink. Shit happens and at the end of the day, this should have taken place behind closed doors. End of story.

The assault is described in detail in the criminal complaint filed against Matthew Maldonado and Nicholas Schultz: the police could narrate the rape in gruesome detail because a security camera in the parking lot recorded the whole thing. One of the least gruesome passages: The Complainant then pushed Defendant Schultz off her as her body slumped to the ground with her head still against the wall. Defendant Schultz then advanced toward the Complainant and began to lie on top of her. Defendant Schultz again pulled the Complainant towards him, holding on to her until her body collapsed again, this time her head striking the ground. (from Zack Arnold on Fight Opinion) […]
