"We have no doubt this happened," said police spokesman Sgt. William Palmer. "The guy has been very forthcoming with us. He's been very helpful in the investigation."

Police said that when Schwartz awoke, the woman was gone. She got away with a $30,000 watch, a $20,000 ring, a necklace valued at $5,000, earrings priced at $4,000, a cell phone valued at $1,500 and a Prada belt valued at $1,000, police said.

Police believe he was drugged.

Schwartz is an attorney and founder and managing shareholder at Sandomire & Schwartz, Inc., in Denver and at first refused comment on the incident, when contacted by reporters from Minnesota. However, he issued the following statement on Tuesday, as the robbery story and online interview made the rounds on the Internet:

It's embarrassing to admit that I was a target of a crime. I was drugged and had about $50,000 of personal items stolen, not the inflated number that the media is reporting from an inaccurate police report. As a single man, I was flattered by the attention of a beautiful woman who introduced herself to me. I used poor judgment. If there is any good that can come from this humiliation, it is to caution others that date rape happens to men, too.

Earlier, Schwartz was interviewed during the convention and told a convention reporter he was for "less taxes and more war. " In a statement Tuesday, he said that he was joking during the interview.
