P. v. Maciel CA4/3
At the time of trial, Jane Doe was 31 years old and living in Virginia. As a child, she lived with her mother, G.M. (Mother), and her brothers in Salinas, California.
Maciel met Mother in 1991. At that time, Mother had two sons (D.V. and J.S.) and a daughter, Jane Doe, who was three years of age. D.V. was three years older than Jane Doe, and J.S. was two years younger. Maciel and Mother together had twin sons (D.C. and I.C.), who were about four years younger than Jane Doe. Mother worked full time in the fields packing lettuce, sometimes worked longer than an eight-hour day, and after work attended an English language class from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Although Mother and Maciel never married, her children considered him to be their father and had a close relationship with him.
Maciel started molesting Jane Doe when she was four or five years old. He would touch Jane Doe on her vagina, placing his hands under her clothing.
