P. v. Arevalo CA5
Jane Doe 1 was “around 18 or 19 years old” in 2009. She had two children with defendant’s son, Arturo Arevalo, Jr.
When she was 15, she moved in with Arevalo, Jr., defendant, and defendant’s wife. Defendant was like a father figure to her.
By 2009, defendant had gotten divorced and moved out. Jane Doe 1 continued to live with Arevalo, Jr., and his mother. Defendant would still come to the house often and give Jane Doe 1 rides places.
At one point, after giving Jane Doe 1 a ride, defendant “sexually abused” her. When asked to clarify how defendant sexually abused her, Jane Doe 1 explained he had intercourse with her. Jane Doe 1 asked defendant to stop. Jane Doe 1’s hands were behind her back so she could not push defendant off of her. Jane Doe 1 was in shock because she had known defendant for many years and had trusted him.
A month after this incident, Jane Doe 1 called law enforcement to report it.
