P. v. Rodriguez CA1/5
A jury convicted Julio Rodriguez of multiple crimes against Jane Doe 1: two counts of kidnapping for the purpose of rape (Pen. Code, § 209, subd. (b)(1)), two counts of forcible rape (§ 261, subd. (a)(2)), forcible oral copulation (§ 288a, subd. (c)(2)), forcible sodomy (§ 286, subd. (c)(2)), forcible sexual penetration (§ 289, subd. (a)(1)(A)), and second degree robbery (§§ 211, 212.5, subd.
