What is the applicable standard of review in the context of sexual assault cases?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from USA v. Bennett, 621 F.3d 1131 (9th Cir. 2010):

First, I agree with the majority that the applicable standard of review is the two-step standard articulated in Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979), in which viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, we then consider whether any rational juror could conclude that the government met its burden of proof.
