P. v. Rodriguez
Defendant Rodrigo Garcia Rodriguez, aged 20, lived with victim, Jane Doe, aged 14, with the permission of Jane Does parents. Both the defendant and victim were from Mexico and believed their relationship to be legal because they had gotten permission from Does parents. Their relationship came to the attention of authorities after Doe became pregnant and sought pre-natal care. After both Doe and defendant confirmed their relationship, defendant was charged with six counts of committing a lewd act on a child under 14 (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (a)), each with a special allegation that he engaged in substantial sexual conduct with a child under 14 (Pen. Code, 1203.066, subd. (a)(8)), one count of committing lewd acts on a child who was 14 years old (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (c)(1)), and one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14. (Pen. Code, 288.5, subd. (a).)
The judgment is affirmed.
