Jackie Lutz, a hearing officer for the Pennsylvania Racing Commission oversaw the marathon session in a small meeting room on the second floor of the Farm Show Complex.
Stephanie Nicole Smith, a receptionist-turned-bookkeeper for the Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, testified about an incident that took place in the track's administration building on Nov. 16. Smith, 23, said Guerrero: "pushed" her into an office that day and then "pulled me to him and kissed me on my mouth."
She told him, "You can't do that." She also said "he grabbed my butt" and then said "you can't do that either."
Guerrero, a parade of character witnesses for him and Smith herself all agreed the pair had a prior friendly relationship in which they exchanged "hugs and kisses" on the cheek. She agreed she told him she was his "good-luck charm."
A Facebook photo of a tattoo on Smith's stomach was introduced as evidence. The tattoo quotes actress Audrey Hepburn: "I was born with an enormous need for affection and a terrible need to give it."
Guerrero testified he did not push Smith into the office that she walked voluntarily with him that day. He said they "hugged and kissed" in their usual manner as they were leaving the office, but he did put one hand on "her butt" and immediately apologized.
Bensalem police subsequently charged Guerrero with indecent assault because of the incident. On Jan. 5, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office withdrew the charge.
Shawn Knowles, a detective who works for the DA's office, said that, as he was investigating the incident, he spoke with Lance Morell, a 20-year acquaintance and Parx' corporate director of security. Knowles testified he was "taken aback" by "how pleased he was we were targeting Mr. Guerrero."
