A 36-year-old former Microsoft senior program manager was charged with second-degree rape on July 31 in King County Superior Court.
The alleged crime took place at about 11 p.m. on July 22 in defendant Vineet Kumar Srivastava's office in Building 27. According to charging documents, he invited a janitor into his office, fondled her breasts and buttocks, prevented her from escaping and raped her. He placed his condom in the trash and took the bin with him as he left his office.
The 33-year-old janitor informed her on-site supervisor of the incident, but he didn't believe her and didn't alert police, documents state. Another supervisor eventually contacted the Redmond Police Department (RPD) about the rape on July 24.
An RPD detective met with the janitor on July 25 and showed her six photos, one of which was of Srivastava, according to documents. When she saw his photo, the janitor said, "That's him, that's the man that raped me."
The detective added that the woman had visible bruises on both shoulders that appeared consistent with finger pressure. The woman said that she received the injuries during her struggle with Srivastava.
When the detective met with Srivastava on July 26, he said the janitor forced him to have sex, according to documents.
He posted $150,000 bail, was released on July 27 and will be arraigned on Aug. 14.
