Both women told attorneys, friends and neighbors what happened to them, long before they spoke to the Daily News.
Rodriguez, alone in that dark bedroom with an officer forcing himself on her, emerged shaken and sobbing.
Angel Castro, who lived next door to Rodriguez, said he saw Rodriguez crying on the porch after the officers left.
"She looked so lost and sad," Castro said. "I asked her if she was OK. She told me, 'No.' . . . She told me an officer touched her breasts. He was feeling up on her, rubbed up on her.
"It was the look on her face," he said. "It was like she was reliving it all over again."
Rodriguez said that when the cops burst through the door in the early evening of April 3, 2008, her fiance, Armando Souverain, was cooking chicken on the stove.
" 'What are you doing - killing cats?' " one of the officers asked her, Rodriguez said.
The officers took everyone in the house - her three children, four nephews and Souverain - outside, except for her.
Rodriguez said that Tolstoy turned to her and said, " 'Let's go upstairs and talk.' "
That's when he told her to stand against the wall as he fondled her breasts, she said.
" 'Don't cry. Shut up. Be quiet,' he kept telling me," she said.
Another officer, apparently hearing her sobs, walked upstairs. " 'Is everything all right?' " he asked, according to Rodriguez.
Tolstoy then removed his hands from her breasts, she said.
Rodriguez fell to the floor, gasping for breath. "I think he would have raped me if no one had come in," she said.
"I couldn't breathe. I got heart problems. I told him I needed my heart pills.
"He turned to me and said, 'Take your s--- pills.' "
Rodriguez said that she has not been the same person since that day.
"I feel disgusted, so sick. He made me feel like a pig. I keep asking why this happened to me."
Rodriguez, Souverain and her children moved shortly after the raid. The West Kensington house is now abandoned and boarded up.
During the raid, Souverain was arrested on drug charges. Police said that they found a little more than 3 ounces of marijuana in the house and a firearm, which Souverain and Rodriguez describe as a hunting rifle. The case is pending.
