What is the evidence against defendant in a sexual assault case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Lucero, E059553 (Cal. App. 2015):
The victim testified that defendant repeatedly hugged her from behind while moaning, touched her breast, and tried to pull down her swimsuit strap, all while she was telling him to stop and trying to push him away. While the testimony of a single witness can be sufficient to support a conviction (People v. Elliot (2012) 53 Cal.4th 535, 585), here four eyewitnesses saw defendant inappropriately touch the victim.
