Former student testifies against adult film actor

COLFAX — The former Washington State University student who pleaded guilty to raping a fellow student last year testified Thursday against the adult film actor he said committed the act with him, Christopher Jack Reid.

Kyle Schott, who is serving a 13-month prison sentence, told a Whitman County jury Reid took the lead on the morning of Sept. 13, 2007, in a series of break-ins at WSU sororities.

He said he assumed Reid was looking for women to have sex with after he boasted all night about his movies and his abilities to seduce women.

In some of his videos, Reid travels to college campuses and recruits women to co-star, Schott said.

“He said the reason he was in Pullman was a stop on his tour, so to speak,” Schott said. But he didn’t have success while the two were drinking at a bar called Stubblefield’s, he said.

Schott was originally charged with second-degree rape and several burglary counts, the same as Reid. But he agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges of third-degree rape and second-degree burglary in exchange for his testimony.

After they stopped to play a drinking game at a house party on Ruby Street, Schott said Reid wanted to go to sororities in search of women.

Schott said they were both drunk, and his memory of the order of events might be hazy. But he said that they first went to the Pi Beta Phi sorority and climbed up on an outside balcony.

Reid, who acts under the name Jack Venice, entered the sorority through a window, while he stayed on the balcony, Schott said. He said he tried to discourage Reid as he threw pillows and bedding down from a third-story window.

Whitman County Prosecutor Denis Tracy asked Schott if they were accompanied by a third person, as a resident of the sorority testified earlier. But Schott said only he and Reid were involved.

Reid’s attorney, Chris Bugbee, said Schott and another man are the guilty parties, and Reid left them before the alleged rape occurred.

Schott said he boosted Reid through a window at the Delta Gamma sorority, and Reid let him in through the front door. Two residents testified Thursday they kicked the men out after a brief confrontation.

Schott said they then went to the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, where Reid began randomly punching numbers on the front door security keypad. Two residents confronted the men, and Reid asked them for beer or water, and if they were up for partying. He said the men told them to leave, and they did.

They went to the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, where they both entered through a window, Schott said. They went into a basement computer lab, he said, where Reid accessed Web sites on a laptop left running there.

Schott said he didn’t see which sites Reid visited, but the owner of the computer testified she found pornography on her screen in the morning.

He and Reid then left the computer lab, Schott said. “He said ‘let’s check out upstairs’” to see if any women were awake, Schott said.

They entered a hallway and went to a room where they could see light from a television coming through a cracked door, Schott said, and Reid pushed open the door.

“There was a female sleeping on the floor in a semi-fetal position, facing left,” Schott said.

Reid lifted the blanket partially covering her, he said, fully exposing her thong underwear. They then went out onto a nearby balcony, where Reid told him he found what he was looking for, Schott said.

He said he basically challenged Reid to do something. “It was the biggest mistake of the night,” he said.

He and Reid re-entered the room and lay down next to the sleeping woman. “I could tell he was rubbing her with his hands and his body.”

Schott said Reid pulled his pants and the woman’s underwear down to knee-level, and began feeling her. Reid asked for a condom, and Schott gave him one. Schott said he touched the woman.

Reid put on the condom and began rubbing against the woman, Schott said. He said he was in a corner of the room when Reid suddenly got up, pulled up his pants and ran from the room. Both men left the sorority via an outside stairway, he said.

The woman testified earlier she awakened to see Reid behind her, and felt something penetrating her. She testified she didn’t see Schott’s face.

Tracy finished his examination of Schott on Thursday afternoon. Defense attorney Chris Bugbee is scheduled to begin his cross-examination at 9 a.m. today.
