On September 1st, 2018, I was assigned this case for investigation. The following update references investigative activity from September 15th through October 1st, 2018.
On September 17th, 2018, University of Minnesota Police Department (UMNPD) Detective Dan Farrar; dropped off a disc containing surveillance recordings taken from the Carlson School of Management.

On September 17th, 2018, I was informed by the BCA that Ross Thomas, a Forensic Scientist, had been assigned to this investigation.
On September 17th, 2018, I met with Jon Newman, owner of Metro Alarm and Lock, who provided me with the video surveillance recording from the Origami Restaurant from the night of the incident. Newman also explained that he had been contacted by several attorneys and media organizations asking for copies of the video. I copied the Origami Restaurant security video to my case file and then reviewed the video. A separate supplement will be used for a synopsis of the video.
On September 20th, 2018, the "bulk" of this investigation and its collected evidence was delivered to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office for review; it was delivered to the Criminal Prosecution Team Lead, Al Harris, for review and possible assignment.
On October 1st, 2018, I reviewed the Security/Surveillance video I received from the University of Minnesota Police Department; the video showed the arrival of Richard at the Carlson School of Management (CSOM) on Friday, August 31st, 2018. Richard arrived at the CSOM and was escorted to a conference/ class room by an Asian male, believed to be is apparently an employee/student in the CSOM study program. A short while later MPD officers approached the room Richard was in, entered, and took Richard into custody. Richard was then led from the room and escorted to the elevators by the officers.
appeared to be outside the room taking photographs as the officer's placed Richard in handcuffs.

On 08/31/2018 I was working squad 123 P#76746 with Officer Timothy Thao. Atapproximately 2137 hours, we responded to 319 19th Ave S (Carlson School ofManagement) for a criminal sexual conduct report. Remarks stated that thecaller had been sexually assaulted in the area of uptown Minneapolis lastnight. The caller would be waiting for us inside of the listed address.
Upon arrival, we were brought to the second floor where we met with thevictim. Officer Thao spoke with the victim in a private conference room.I spoke with friends of the victim who were on scene but were not withthe victim when the incident occurred. Friends of the victim informed methat A1/Qiandong Liu was leaving the state tomorrow in a private jet. Liuhad contacted the victim today asking if they could meet and talk aboutmoving to New York together. The friends also informed me that Liu has hadbeen involved in a previous incident like this one in Australia. Liu is anentrepreneur who is well known in China.
I was advised by Officer Thao that Liu was on his way to Carlson School ofManagement. Liu insisted on speaking with the victim in person. I advisedthe victim's friends that we were not going to let them meet for thevictim's safety. Several minutes later, the victim's friend informed me thatLiu had in fact arrived on scene. I informed Officer Thao. At this time,
I turned off my body worn camera to have a professional conversation withOfficer Thao and also to speak with Sergeant Chad Joseph over the phone. Iwas informed by Officer Thao that Sergeant Chad Joseph had approved PC toarrest Liu for criminal sexual conduct.
I reactivated my body worn camera at this time. Officer Thao and Iapproached Liu who was waiting in a separate conference room on the secondfloor as well. The victim stayed with her friends in a secured conferenceroom. We went into the conference room and handcuffed Liu who complied withour commands. Liu was informed why he was being placed under arrest for.
Before Liu was brought to our squad car, I explained the victim the processof a show up so she can identify Liu as the person who sexually assaultedher. The victim nodded that she understood and I brought the victim outsideof the conference room she was in. Liu was waiting by the elevators withOfficer Thao. Liu was facing towards our direction. I asked the victim ifthat was the man who assaulted her. The victim looked over at Liu and nodded

Supplement of Sgt. Wente, badge #7640 - Investigative Update
CCN: 18-294338
CCN: 18-293415 - Related Case
On September 1st, 2018, I was assigned this case for investigation; this case involved the arrest of Liu "Richard" Qiangdong (3/10/1973), a Chinese national, and a student at the University of Minnesota.
Qiangdong was taken into custody by MPD Officers at the Carlson School of Management (CSM), on the campus of the University of Minnesota (UM), at approximately 2150 hours on August 31st.
I will refer to Qiangdong as "Richard"
for the purposes of this investigation.
Related to this incident was a previous call for Police service (MPD CCN: 18-293415); the prior contact occurred on August 31st, 2018, at approximately 0259 hours when MPD officers were asked to respond to an "in-progress" sexual assault at . The caller, , reported to 911 that he had received a text message from a friend, indicating that his friend was being sexually assaulted by a male known to her inside her apartment at the aforementioned address. MPD officers, along with UM Police Department (UMPD) Officers, responded to the call. Once contact was made with the victim,
it was determined that there was an apparent misunderstanding between
and the 911 caller,
. ultimately informed the officers that the sexual contact between her and Richard was "consensual" and "spontaneous."
was left in the company of
; while Richard was taken back to the hotel he was staying in at Minneapolis by the responding MPD squad. The responding officers then changed the nature code from Criminal Sexual Conduct to a Miscellaneous.
*Reference the statements of the responding officers for an in depth explanation of the outcome of 18-293415.
September 1st, 2018:
I reviewed the available PIMS reports associated with this investigation; based upon the information provided, and knowing that Richard was not given a Sexual Assault Exam (SAE), I drafted a Search Warrant to collect a sample, via Buccal Cell swab or blood draw, of Richard's Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The Search Warrant was electronically sent to Judge Laurie Miller; Judge Miller reviewed the Search Warrant and electronically signed it. During the time it took for me to send and received the signed Search Warrant I was contacted by Legal Counsel for Richard; Attorney Jill Brisbois (of Caplan and Tamburino) had contacted

me and informed me that her client, Richard, was willing to give a Consent DNA sample and that I could
obtain it immediately.
I proceeded to the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility (PSF) where Richard was being processed
into the jail to collect the DNA sample via Buccal Cell swab. I completed and signed the MPD's Consent
to Search Form and gave it to Attorney Alan Caplan to review (Caplan and Brisbois were both present); Caplan reviewed the form and advised his client Richard to sign it. Richard signed the form, and I provided Caplan with the subject's copy. I then collected the sample utilizing the standard MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension's Buccal Cell sample kit. The sample was later placed into the MPD's Property and Evidence Unit under this investigation. The Search Warrant was not executed and will not be filed.
At 1315 hours I met with at her apartment at

is an international exchange student and
. When I arrived at
apartment, there were two other women and one male present; I recognized one of the women and possibly the male from the Body Worn Camera (BWC) video I had reviewed prior to meeting with
. I believe the woman and the man were present at the CSM when Richard was taken into custody.
I believe that was intending on having the people stay with her during the interview; I explained that
it would be fine if they stayed, but that they would be subject to a subpoena if the case were set for trial. I also explained that they would not have the protections of a certified advocate, and would have to respond to questioning by the court. All three decided to avoid that possibility and left the apartment.
I began speaking with and explaining the investigative process to her before activating the recorder. During my preparation for recording
comments I asked her to briefly describe the incident so I would
know where the event started and ended. During description of the event she became very quiet and apprehensive in describing what happened; after several minutes of her pausing and stopping, I asked her
if she wished to pursue this investigation? immediately and spontaneously said; "No, I just want it to
go away." I told that it was her choice if she wished to pursue the investigation and that I would react accordingly. explained that she did not want to pursue the investigation at this time. I had told that if she wished I could close the case for the time being, but that if she changed her mind, we could re-open the case for investigation. I also explained that there was no guarantee of an outcome in either case, based upon closing or re-opening the case.
stated that at this time she wished to have the investigation closed. Then
said; "I want apology, ........and money."
statement took me by surprise; I told that I was not the person to be involved with that type of thing. restated that she wanted an apology and money. I explained at that time that what she was asking for
was not the responsibility of the police department. I told that based upon her request for an apology that I could forward her contact information to Richard's attorney and she could communicate directly with her. I had identified Jill Brisbois as the attorney that
should speak with.
I told that based upon her decision I would be releasing Richard from jail;
said she wanted Richard to stay in jail until he apologized to her. I told
that I was obligated to release Richard because at this time the case was closed, by

said she understood my explanation.
I then activated my recorder and requested that communicate her decision to not pursue the investigation at this time, which she did. The recording was stopped; I provided a business card to her and wished her well. I reiterated to her that at this time I would be closing the case and ceasing investigative efforts.

At 0830 hours I retrieved two voicemails that I had received on Saturday, September 1st, 2018; one at 1838
hours and another at around 1958 hours. Both messages were from . The first message, received at 1838: was received at 6:38PM Saturday, September 1st - "I just want to reopen case, I'm
I think he is, he is, his lawyers, his lawyers already talked to me, but he, he first let me to negotiate and let me to come to his office like today, but then..........." Utilizing a recorder I copied the message from the Voicemail system to the recorder and uploaded it to the Winscribe system.
The second message was received at approximately 1958 hours (I believe), it was also from ; this message was not recorded or saved. The content of the message was similar to: "This is I want reopen case."
Based upon the received messages I re-opened this investigation.
I began to review the BWC videos created by the responding officers to each call (18-293415 and 18-294338). I have shared the BWC videos via Evidence.com with the HCAO.
I received a contact from Attorney Jill Brisbois; Brisbois explained that she had some evidence related to the case that she wished to share with me. Brisbois also requested that we meet at the HCAO, and also invite Al Harris. The meeting was set for 10:00AM on September 5th, 2018.
September 5th, 2018:
I was contacted by PIO John Elder; Elder had received a contact form an attorney, Will Florin, of Florin/ Roeberg (FL), who was apparently representing the victim, . Florin had informed Elder that it was imperative that he meet with me before returning to his home state of Florida. Elder provided me his contact information.
At approximately 0830 hours on September 5th, 2018, I contacted Attorney Florin; Florin requested that
we meet as soon as possible, Florin also stated that he was leaving for Florida on this day 1300 hours. I explained to Florin that I had an unrelated interview at 0830 hours and a case related meeting at 1000 hours with the county attorney's office and counsel for the suspect. Florin was respectful, but insistent that he meet with me before he left for Florida. I contacted Al Harris, at HCAO, and requested that he meet with Brisbois to acquire what ever evidence she was providing, so that I could meet with Florin and see what it was he needed to see me about, Harris agreed.
At 1000 hours Al Harris met with Brisbois and acquired from her the evidence she wished to pass along to me.
At approximately 0930 hours I met with Florin in Room 108 of Minneapolis City Hall. Florin was accompanied by two other attorney's; Chad Florin, of Florin / Roeberg (FL), and Jian Hang, of Hang and Associates (NY). Hang, who speaks Chinese, had apparently contacted Florin/Roeberg and they were now co-counsel representing .

After finishing the meeting with attorney's I contacted Al Harris to see what had been presented to him
by Attorney Brisbois. I met with Harris in his office at the HCAO.
Harris provided me with a packaged Flash drive that apparently contained the evidence that Attorney Brisbois was speaking of. Harris showed me the notes he had taken while meeting with Brisbois. Brisbois had apparently showed Harris a prepared PowerPoint that included voice recordings and text messages of the communications between Brisbois and . The timeline of the calls also included the times that Brisbois and I had contacted each other on the 1st of September. Harris's notes indicated that
was apparently extorting the sexual contact she had with Richard for money. This information coincided with the statement made to me by
when she called me on September 1st at 1550 hours and said that she would go to the media if she did not receive a contact from Richard's attorneys. I will review the material on the Flash drive and use a separate supplement to describe the contents.
Later on this day I received a contact from Attorney Brisbois; Brisbois wanted to meet with me at 0900 hours on September 6th, 2018, to show me what she had showed Al Harris when she met with him at the HCAO's office. I agreed to meet with her the next day.
September 6th, 2018:
At approximately 0900 hours I met with Attorney Brisbois and an additional Attorney, Earl Gray, at my office. Attorney Brisbois asked that she have the opportunity to review with me the contents of the Flash drive she had left with Al Harris of the HCAO. Attorney Brisbois played the PowerPoint project on her
lap top and let me listen to the four audio phone calls she recorded between herself and . The four calls involve contacts between
, who is asking for money and an apology, or she will go to the police and the media. Brisbois asks her to make a monetary proposal, but
asks that Richard make the proposal because she doesn't know how much to ask for.
I prepared the paperwork necessary to transfer custody of the available physical and biological evidence to the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension's (BCA) Forensic Laboratory. The paperwork was then sent to the MPD's Community Service Officer (CSO) assigned to investigations.
I contacted the Origami Restaurant to ask that they hold and prepare the internal video surveillance footage from the incident date.
I conducted a phone interview with the suspect; Liu "Richard" Qiangdong, at the law offices of Hogan and Lovell's, located in the IDS Center. Present for the interview was; Jill Brisbois, Earl Gray, Attorney Peter Walsh (Hogan& Lovell's), George (an attorney who speaks Mandarin Chinese). Richard was provided a translator at his location in Beijing, China. The interview was recorded and uploaded to Winscribe.
Scheduled a formal re-interview of through her attorney, Will Florin, for Monday, September 10th, 2018, at 1100 hours, at the Florin & Roeberg office at 7760 France Ave. S, Suite 130, Bloomington, MN. Florin extended an invitation to the HCAO's office to attend if they wished, that was passed along to Al Harris of the HCAO.

I was met with hostility by the attorney's Walsh, Gray, and "George", because the involved lawyers had
been informed that the MPD was issuing a Press Release that I was somehow supposed to be aware of,
and communicate said information to them. I was informed that would not be made available for an interview and that I was somehow "fucking them" throughout this investigation. I explained that I am not informed of "Press Releases" by our PIO's and that I was not subverting their client in any way during this investigation. I contacted PIO John Elder and let him explain via speaker phone what was apparently going to be a "canned" response to press questions received that day. I was advised that I "might" be able
to interview at a later date. Attorney Gray was particularly upset that the victim was afforded legal counsel; I stated that it wasn't that unusual for a victim to seek legal advice from an attorney. Once the hostilities finished, I showed myself out of the office without further communication.
Evidence collected during this investigation that required forensic analysis was transported to the MN Bureau of Apprehensions' (BCA) Forensic Laboratory for testing and analysis. The evidence was transported to the BCA by MPD Community Service Officer Marvyn Velasco.
September 10th, 2018:
Conducted a recorded interview with the victim, at the officers of Florin and Roeberg, located at 7760 France Ave. S, Bloomington, MN. Present for the interview was;

Q. Okay, did you know who she was? A. No, I never met her before
Q. Okay. Okay, do you know how she got to the gathering?

Q. Okay, was it a long vehicle, a big truck? A Suburban? A. Uh, uh, it, it's a limousine with three rows
Q. Okay A. Yeah
Q. Did it look like a truck or was it a car type?
A. No, it's not a truck, it's a, it's a black limousine

Q. Okay. Alright, and (inaudible). When you got to the house with the party at, um, what did you do?
A. So, we arrived at the house in the driveway so we all get off, four of us, and then I started to walk a few step, and then I turn, turn, turn around, turn back and I saw RICHARD and the girl got back into the car and closed the door and was uh, standing next to the car. So I ran back, because if they're leaving, we have to join them, and then I open the car door, I saw that lady, she's putting on her safety belt and I thought, because now RICHARD and the girl are sitting on the second row
Q. Okay
A. ...so I told the girl, "Please get out so I can fold the chair," so either or me, we can go back to the third row. And she did not want to move, she saw me and she did not want to move and RICHARD said, "Oh, you can sit in the front row." So, but on the front row next to the driver there's only one seat, but if they're leaving, so
, she jumped onto the first row, so I was left alone, 'cause I have nowhere to sit. I cannot fold the chair. So I was left alone in front of the house. I was hoping that maybe they would come back to join the party and
followed them.
Q. Alright, so then you stay at the, at the house... A. Yes
Q. ...the party house... A. Yes
Q. ...and the limousine left? A. Yes
Q. Okay, then, I guess I'll ask you to think back, when you were riding from the ORIGAMI to the party house...
A. Mm hm
Q. ...what was the attitude or environment like inside the limousine? What did you see?

Q. Okay, what did she say happened in her apartment?

CASE CLOSURE
7640 - WENTE, MATTHEW CHRISTIAN INITIAL CASE CLOSURE - SEPT. 1, 2018 OCT-09-2018 (TUE.)
Supplement of Sgt. Wente, badge #7640 - Initial interview & Case Closure CCN: 18-294338
On September 1st, 2018, I was assigned this case for investigation. As part of the initial investigative process I contacted the victim, , an arranged to meet with her at her apartment located at
. At approximately 1315 hours I met with inside her apartment; upon my arrival there were three other person inside the apartment with
, 1 man and 2 women.
I asked if the other three people would be staying for the interview, I explained that if they did not have "advocate" status, they would be considered "witnesses" to the case and would be subject to subpoena if the case moved forward for trial. At that point the other persons decided to leave the apartment.
and I moved to the dining/sitting area of the apartment to start the interview. Prior to starting the recorder I as began to explain the investigative process and the various steps the investigation would be going through. appeared to understand the process, but was very quiet. I began to walk through the scenario of events that led to the first call to 911 and then to the second call. As we continued to speak and I gathered more background on the incident it became quite apparent that
was very apprehensive about the investigation.
While explaining the various outcomes that can occur related to these types of investigations, it became very clear to me that was troubled about the process and the investigation. At one point I asked her if she wanted to continue to pursue the investigation; as I finished that question,
immediately stated; "NO, I want it to go away." This was the most emotional
had gotten during our conversation.
stated something similar to; "I want apology.....", I said; "okay", but then added; ".....and money." I was surprised by this request and responded by telling
that it was not within my investigative parameters to secure or request money for the victim of an assault. I told
that with her permission I could pass along her contact information and the request for an apology (not money) along to the suspect's attorney, and that they could speak directly. I explained to
that I could not be involved with that communication.
I reiterated to that to "close" the case at this time was her decision; and her decision alone. I explained that the case would not necessarily be "closed forever", but that it would be in a hibernating state, and that if she wished she could request that the case be reviewed for re-opening at another time. asked that I close the case at this time.

On 09/05/2018 at approximately 2015hrs, I was working marked squad 207A and assigned to the 2nd Police Precinct as the supervisor. I signed on my squad and saw that a call was waiting in pending for
regarding follow-up to a CSC crime which had been reported( CCN18-294338) and a Miscellaneous report (CCN 18-293415).
The remarks on the call stated that the caller wanted to turn over evidencefor a case she has pending and that she did not have the case number becauseshe gave it to her lawyer.
I advised my Lieutenant and sent Squad 223 Officers Yang & Seiler to this address to handle the call, because they were the initial officers who took the first report from . It should be noted that I was also familiar with the call and had also responded to at the early morning of September 2nd.
At approximately 2130hrs, I was contacted by Officer Seiler by cell phone and informed that reported that a Zip drive and possible her
