Re: California Public Records Act Request No. 24-390

Dear Mr. Copitch:

The City of Monterey provides this response to your California Public Records Act
request for any police report involving Peter Hegseth (aka Pete Hegseth).

Monterey Police Department Report YG1705129 is enclosed with redactions to ensure

the confidentiality of the victim’s identity and that of her minor children. The identities of victims
of certain types of crimes, including victims of sexual assault, are required to be withheld if
requested by the victim. (Government Code section 7923.615, subd. (b).) Also, the public
interest in the identity of the victim and the names of and information regarding her children is
not outweighed by their right to privacy. (Government Code section 7927.410, subd. (d).)

Please note, however, that another agency’s Police Report, Kaiser Permanente Report,
an audio recording, surveillance footage, a photograph, and memorandum from the Monterey
County District Attorney’s Office, that are responsive to your request, were never released and
remain confidential. These files are exempt from the California Public Records Act pursuant to
Government Code sections 7923.600, 7923.605, and 7927.705, and California Penal Code
section 11163.2.
