What are the implications of a finding of guilty of perverting the course of justice in a sexual assault case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from The People v. Schram, G041832, No. 07CF0247 (Cal. App. 2010):

"As the cases tell us, where, as here, the trial court finds the time and the circumstances were sufficient to afford the defendant with the required opportunity to reflect upon his actions and he thereafter resumed his sexually abusive conduct, that finding will be upheld unless no reasonable trier of fact could have so concluded. [Citations.] Since we agree with the trial court's assessment, it follows that the sentences will be upheld." (People v. Plaza (1995) 41 Cal.App.4th 377, 385 (Plaza), fn. omitted.)
