Man gets jail time for ejaculating into co-worker's water bottle, must register as sex offender

Michael Lallana booking photo A Fullerton man was sentenced Friday to six months in jail and three years' probation for twice depositing his semen into a co-worker's water bottle, which she later drank from.

Michael Kevin Lallana, 32, also was ordered by the court to register as a sex offender, according to the Orange County District Attorney's office.

He left semen-laced water bottles on his co-worker’s desk at Northwestern Mutual Finance Network in Newport Beach last year on two separate occasions, district attorney officials said in a statement.

Prosecutors said Lallana committed the crime for sexual gratification.

“He admitted that he was attracted to her, and that it was something about her lips having touched the water bottle that turned him on,” Deputy Dist. Atty. Brock Zimmon said.

The first incident occurred in January 2010 when the victim discarded the water bottle after realizing it was contaminated, prosecutors said.

Four months later, Lallana again deposited his semen into a water bottle and left it on the woman's desk, prosecutors said. She drank from the bottle and detected an “off” taste, her attorney said.

She preserved the bottle and sent it to a private laboratory for testing. She learned two months later that the water bottle contained semen, at which point she notified authorities.

Lallana was arrested last July, and his DNA later was matched to the water bottle. He did not testify at his trial.

His attorneys argued he did not commit criminal battery because there was no application of force, Zimmon said. They also contended Lallana was driven by “narcissistic personality disorder,” not sexual purposes, Zimmon said.

“Their excuse was that he just did this because he was immature,” Zimmon said.

The victim issued an impact statement Friday to the court Friday, saying Lallana’s actions had harmed her emotionally and physically and that she felt it was a form of rape.

“Mr. Lallana has stripped me of my ability to trust,” she said.

Her attorney, Gloria Allred, said the most important aspect of the sentencing was that Lallana must register as a sex offender.

“This is not a joke or a prank, this is serious conduct,” Allred said in an interview. “It’s disgusting and revolting and disturbing.”

Lallana’s attorney Eduardo Madrid declined to comment.

Incredibly disturbing. Many people are extremely confused about "attraction". One can be euphorically 'attracted' to another person in a healthy way. Another, can feel almost the same kinds of feelings, yet, allow himself to disgustingly and disturbingly go into a very dark place with his so-called 'attraction'.
Is it possible that our culture has been so inundated with media portrayals of perverted attraction that those strong walls between right and wrong have been reduced to rubble?

I realize that Allred is scum herself, but this idiot needs to learn that he can't just jizz all over everything without punishment.

Gross.

She should have shown him he time of day. But a sex offender? This is a case of sex vandalism. How she knew to have it tested is my question.

Nothing says "I love you" like ejaculating into your water bottle and having you drink it. Actions speak louder than words.

Very, very sick individual. His parents must be so proud of him.

He's 32, not 15, yes he should be a registered sex offender., this guy has a psycho-sexual screw loose and needs to be labeled for life. You want him around vulnerable people? I hope she also sues his pants off (if they can find them).

This is getting worse, I caught a worker at one of Los Angeles fast food joints spitting in a customers cup, because the customer was complaining about her order that was wrong. She was questioning the customer, why do you have an attitude, the customer told her, because your charging me for a soda that I did not order, The manager saw her do it, and did nothing until I made it known to the customer.

Came to find out that the same cashier had been arguing with customers all day, one of which was standing in line waiting on his food. He ordered two shakes, and she only gave him one, it was on his receipt that he had paid for two.

As fast as she was talking in her broken English, could have been on speed or something. The manager looked afraid to say anything to her. There is no way a manager would stand back and let this lady work in the front with absolutely no people skills, and an obvious anger management issue. I am going to go back next week just to see if she is there. Wendy's on Century Bl. Off Crenshaw. If you eat there, make sure you pay attention to your food.

Makes you wonder how often this happens when you aren't looking.

Horrible. He deserves to be branded as a sex offender. I really can't believe what people think they can get away with these days.
