California Court of Appeal

The magistrate erred in determining a defendant should not have to answer charges of soliciting forcible rape and forcible sodomy after the defendant advertised online for sexual partners for an unwitting victim and then, while impersonating the victim, invited men who responded to the advertisement to appear at the victim's home unannounced to engage in "freak show" sexual activity, and therefore, the superior court's order denying the People's motion to reinstate the charges is reversed.
