California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Williams, B236012 (Cal. App. 2012):
The trial court's implied finding of appellant's criminal intent and his objective of sexually assaulting K.O. while she was under his control, independent of his intent to rob her, is amply supported by the evidence presented at trial. (People v. Osband (1996) 13 Cal.4th 622, 730-731.)
