California v. Ghipriel
Annotate this CaseIn this case, the evidence showed defendant Mouris Ghipriel, who weighed 240 pounds, kept one of his employees, who weighed approximately 100 pounds, in a very small office and sexually assaulted her. He appealed his ultimate conviction, arguing the evidence was insufficient evidence to show that he used additional force or menace required to establish felony false imprisonment. The Court of Appeal rejected Ghipriel's contention the record does not support his three felony false imprisonment convictions. The Court also rejected Ghipriel's contention the trial court erred in admitting testimony from the victim with respect to his attempt to digitally penetrate her. Accordingly, Ghipriel's convictions were affirmed.
