According to his lawyer, Tilley came to his house around 3:40 in the morning. She then asked to go into the hot tub, even though it was only 50 degrees outside. The two of them were intimate for a short time, and then things went left. The letter reads, “After some physical intimacy, Ms. Tilley made a calculated, unprovoked attack on Mr. Ward (Hitmaka), slapping and punching him repeatedly. Mr. Ward defended himself against this attack.”
