P. v. Ramirez CA5
We incorporate by reference the factual and procedural background set forth in F077884. To briefly recapitulate, a jury found defendant guilty of raping several prostitutes. He lured his victims to secluded areas under the pretext of an arm’s-length transaction for sex, then falsely identified himself as a police officer and/or threatened them with a stun gun. The victims had been willing to engage in protected sexual activity for money, but defendant coerced and/or physically forced them to have sex with him without a condom.
Defendant was convicted of rape by force or fear (Pen. Code, § 261, subd. (a)(2); counts 1, 9, 13 & 16); oral copulation by force or fear (former § 288a, subd. (c)(2)(A); counts 2 & 10); felony false imprisonment as a lesser included offense of aggravated kidnapping (§§ 209, subd. (b)(1), 236, 237, subd. (b); counts 8, 12 & 15); and falsely identifying oneself to a police officer (§ 148.9; count 19).
