What is the test for intent to commit both the lesser and the greater crime of sexual assault?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Gavin, 959 F.2d 788 (9th Cir. 1992):
To commit either the greater or the lesser crime, an intent "to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade, or arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person" is required. 18 U.S.C. 2245(3). Hence the requirement that the same intention characterize each crime is satisfied. United States v. Sneezer, 900 F.2d 177, 178-79 (9th Cir.1990).
