P. v. Rye CA4/1
In a first trial, a jury convicted Dana Glenn Rye of possession of child pornography but could not reach a verdict on numerous child sex crimes. In a subsequent bench trial, Rye was convicted of 17 counts of lewd and lascivious acts upon a child under the age of 14 years (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a); counts 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 ); oral copulation or sexual penetration with a person under the age of 10 years (§ 288.7, subd. (b); counts 3, 4, 6), sexual intercourse or sodomy with a person under the age of 10 years (§ 287, subd. (a); counts 5, 7) and lewd and lascivious acts upon a child under the age of 16 years and more than 10 years younger than him (§ 288, subd. (c)(1); counts 15, 16, 17). The court sentenced Rye to a determinate term of 23 years four months plus an indeterminate term of 95 years to life.
