What is the test for determining whether an actor has intent to commit acts of sexual assault?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Mariano, G054973 (Cal. App. 2018):

to be drawn is not that the actor is disposed to commit such acts; instead, the inference to be drawn is that, in light of the first event, the actor, at the time of the second event, must have had the intent attributed to him by the prosecution." (People v. Robbins (1988) 45 Cal.3d 867, 879.)
