UPDATE:
SANTA ANA -- An Orange County man accused of ejaculating into his female co-worker's water bottle on two separate occasions pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday.
Michael Kevin Lallana, 31, of Fullerton, is charged with six misdemeanor counts of releasing an offensive material in a public place and assault, with sentencing allegations for committing a crime for sexual gratification.
The victim, identified only as Jane Doe in court, did not speak publicly but appeared with her lawyer, Gloria Allred.
The incident happened on January 14, 2010, at the Northwestern Mutual Mortgage Company in Newport Beach, according to the Orange County District Attorney's office.
Investigators say Lallana entered the victim's office and deposited his semen into a water bottle that was on his co-worker's desk.
The defendant is accused of leaving the semen-filled water bottle on the victim's desk which she drank when she returned to her office.
The victim, who was unaware of the bottle's contents, drank the contaminated water. She threw it away after feeling sick, investigators say.
Three months later, the victim and six other employees, including the defendant, were transferred to the Northwestern Mutual Mortgage Company's Orange branch. That's where a second incident occurred, according to officials.
On April 9, 2010, Lallana is accused of assaulting the same victim by depositing his ejaculation into another water bottle that the victim left on her desk. The victim took a sip from the bottle, then felt sick. She decided to send the specimen to a private lab to be tested.
The lab contacted her and told her the water bottle contained semen, police said.
The victim then notified the Orange Police Department .
DNA tests confirmed the semen belonged to Lallana. He was arrested at his Fullerton home by officers with the Orange Police Department.
"No woman should have to be victimized in the way that this victim has been,'' Allred said.
Allred added that her client is ready to testify against her former co-worker.
A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for Oct. 14 in Santa Ana.
Lallana is free on $500 bail. He has been ordered by the court to stay away from the victim.
If convicted, Lallana faces a minimum of three months to a maximum of three years in jail with mandatory sex-offender registration.
