P. v. Ray CA2/3
Defendant Richard Edward Ray was convicted of 17 sex crimes committed against three children over the course of 18 years. He contends the court lacked jurisdiction over counts 3–8 and 16–17 because those offenses occurred in Nevada—and even if California had jurisdiction, Los Angeles was not the proper venue; his conviction for count 12 violates Penal Code section 288.5, subdivision (c), which prohibits dual convictions for continuous sexual abuse and another sex offense involving the same victim and the same time period; and the multiple-victim findings and several of his indeterminate sentences violate the ex post facto clause.
