What are the implications of a finding that a defendant has committed a series of offences against a number of victims of sexual abuse over a period of time?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Keindl, 502 N.E.2d 577, 509 N.Y.S.2d 790, 68 N.Y.2d 410 (N.Y. 1986):
Conceding that more than one violation is encompassed within each of various counts, and that many counts span designated periods of time that are in some instances protracted, the People nevertheless urge that these convictions should be upheld, both under our decision in People v. Morris, 61 N.Y.2d 290, 473 N.Y.S.2d 769, 461 N.E.2d 1256, supra, and on the theory that these were "continuing crimes".
