P. v. Thomas CA4/2
Defendant Ellery Dennis Thomas used “mental manipulation” to coerce his 23-year-old daughter into participating in various sex acts with him against her will. She secretly audio recorded one instance of this; the recording was played for the jury, and it strongly corroborated her testimony about the other instances. Evidence was also admitted that defendant had committed an uncharged lewd act against her when she was 13.
