People v. Ireland
California Court of Appeal
114 Cal. Rptr. 915 (2010)
- Written by Carolyn Strutton, JD
Facts
On four different occasions, Anthony Ireland (defendant) approached women who were working as prostitutes to solicit sexual intercourse from them. Each of the four women agreed and went with Ireland to his car or to a hotel room. After Ireland was alone with each of the women, he drew a knife on them, held it to their throats, and threatened to harm them if they did not cooperate with him. Ireland was charged and convicted of four counts of forcible rape. Ireland appealed, alleging that there was insufficient evidence to prove that each of the victims had withdrawn their consent to the encounters.
