Description
This is a prosecution for the crime of statutory rape. The defendant was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to imprisonment
for a term of 10 to 15 years. The defendant has appealed. The victim here was a 16-year-old girl who lived in LaVista, Sarpy County, Nebraska. On the evening of September 3, 1973,
one Dorothy Lewis, who lived 2 or 3 blocks away, engaged the girl to babysit at the Lewis home that evening. When the girl
arrived at the Lewis house at about 8 p.m., she assumed her babysitting duties, and Dorothy Lewis left her in the home in
charge of the children. The evidence for the prosecution showed that the girl called her mother during the evening to advise
her that she would be home around 11 p.m. At approximately 2:40 a.m., Dorothy Lewis returned home with the defendant and another
man. The defendant told the girl he was to take her home and the girl left with him. Instead of taking her home, the defendant
drove in the opposite direction and along a gravel road, where he stopped the car and by force and threats had intercourse
with her. The defendant then drove to the victim's home.
