P. v. Perez CA5
Appellant and defendant Eddie Perez was convicted of multiple crimes arising out of attacks and rapes of his 16-year-old girlfriend. Among these crimes were rape, torture, and spousal abuse. The trial court executed three consecutive sentences of life without the possibility of parole on three separate rape counts that included “One Strike” law special circumstances for the infliction of torture and commission of rape against a child 14 years of age or older. The trial court also imposed a consecutive sentence of 10 years on a spousal abuse count. On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erred in sentencing him for the substantive offense of spousal abuse and one-strike torture special circumstance because the two offenses were part of the same course of conduct. We affirm.
