P. v. Moua CA3
Defendant and Lor were in a long-term relationship. Between the two were several children, including daughters Mindy, Pangfoua, and Isabella; and sons Xou and Leng. When Mindy was in the fifth or sixth grade, defendant began touching her. He would come to her bedroom at night and touch her breasts under her clothes and touch her vagina over and under her clothes. Mindy shared a bed with Pangfoua, and Xou was in the room in his own bed. Mindy did not recall the number of times defendant touched her breasts, but it was more than once. Defendant touched Mindy’s vagina “a lot.” Mindy did not tell her mother because she was afraid of defendant and ashamed. Mindy did not know if her mother would believe her. Mindy never told her siblings, including Pangfoua, who never woke up during the abuse.
One time, Mindy woke up while defendant was touching her. She turned on the light and asked what defendant was doing. Defendant said he was looking for something.
