California Court of Appeal

Conviction of defendant for four counts of forcible rape is affirmed where: 1) substantial evidence supports each of the convictions of forcible rape as, from all of the evidence, it is clear that the victims did not continue to consent when defendant put the knife to their throats and defendant knew they did not continue to consent; and 2) although the instruction on withdrawal of consent could have been confusing, it was harmless under any standard.
