According to CNN, a New York City Fire Department emergency medical technician has recently been arrested and charged with armed sexual assaults, including sodomizing an 11-year-old in an elevator. Angus Pascall, 33, was charged in connection with five sexual assaults. Two of the victims were minors, including the 11-year-old girl. The other was a 14-year-old girl who was attacked at her apartment.
If this case was to occur in California, the defendant could be charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child. Under California Penal Code Section 269, any person committing sodomy by force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on a victim, under the age of 14 years and is 10 or more years younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child. This crime is a felony and is punishable by imprisonment in state prison for 15 years to life.
