P. v. Traylor CA1/3
Doe was 19 years old at the time of the 2019 trial. When she was a young child, she lived with her maternal relatives. She then lived for a time with her paternal grandmother and, when she was about six years old, went to live with defendant, who is her father. Defendant’s then girlfriend lived in the home, and soon after Doe arrived defendant’s son, M., joined the household. Doe and M., who was a few months younger than Doe, shared the apartment’s second bedroom.
When Doe was six or seven years old, defendant began compelling her to orally copulate him daily. She never refused defendant’s demands because she was “scared” to do so; she did not want him to be upset with her or to use force. Defendant told her this was something that two people did when they loved each other, and she trusted him and thought there was nothing wrong with it. However, he told her not to tell anyone about it because other people were not “okay with it.”
