People v. S.F.
Nov 11, 2015OUTCOME: Defendant faced 16 years at 85%. her offer was 3 years. After motion, DA offered no time, which she took as an offer to plea.
Defendant was female charged with multiple counts of PC 288(a) lewd acts on a minor. She confessed to the crime that alleged took place about 18 years prior. The DA objected to defense demurrer due to ... a failure to observe the statute of limitations. The case would clearly have been within the statute of limitations had it not been for victim's statement gathered during defense discovery. Victim's statements place victim at a rape crisis center 16 years prior reporting the then 2 year old case. Defense argued that the rape counselor was a mandated reporter and that the unnamed mandated reporter is presumed to have reported the crime to the police (as required by law), and that the police then had knowledge yet failed to act, which meant the statute of limitations would continue to run at that time. DA decided not to fight the issue for failure to lose entire case if defense argument was presented to judge.
