P. v. J.U. CA2/6
In February 2019, the Santa Barbara District Attorney filed a petition and later an amended petition charging J.U. with forcible sex crimes, assault likely to produce great bodily injury with a great bodily injury allegation, criminal threats, and sexual battery, among other crimes. (§ 602.) On June 20, 2019, J.U. admitted the assault and great bodily injury allegation, and felony false imprisonment crimes. (Pen. Code, §§ 245, subd. (a)(4), 12022.7, subd. (a), 236.) On the prosecutor’s motion, the juvenile court dismissed the remaining charges in the interests of justice. At the later disposition hearing, the court ordered J.U. placed on probation with electronic monitoring.
As the factual basis for her crimes, J.U. admitted repeatedly striking her former friend C.J. in the face as C.J. stood at a public bus stop. C.J. required hospitalization and two surgeries to repair a nasal fracture.
