Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The legislative purpose of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-61(A)(ii) is to protect persons who are mentally impaired or retarded from being sexually exploited due to their mental incapacity. However, such statutes must not be interpreted and applied in a manner that creates an unintended rule that would prohibit all mentally impaired or retarded persons from engaging in consensual sexual intercourse without having their partners commit a felony. By specifically defining mental incapacity, the legislature has chosen to protect those mentally deficient persons whose mental condition prevents them from understanding the nature and consequences of the sexual act involved. Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.10(3). Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.3 also protects mentally impaired individuals, specifically those persons who lack an understanding of the nature and consequences of sexual acts, from sexual exploitation.
  • A mentally incapacitated individual may not have the capacity to make a volitional choice to engage or not engage in a sexual act due to their lack of understanding of the nature and consequences of the sexual act. Accordingly, when an individual is mentally incapacitated under Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.10(3), the individual is incapable of legally consenting to the sexual touching, on the grounds that consent without understanding is no consent at all.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • An accused shall be guilty of inanimate or animate object sexual penetration if he or she penetrates the labia majora or anus of a complaining witness and if the act is accomplished against the will of the complaining witness, by force, threat or intimidation of or against the complaining witness or another person, or through the use of the complaining witness's mental incapacity or physical helplessness. Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.
  • In a case interpreting the word "force" as it is used in Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.3 (aggravated sexual battery), the issue is whether, on the facts of the case a mere nonconsensual touching of the intimate parts of the complaining witness comes within the statutorily defined criminal act or whether some additional force is required. The legislature intended some force other than merely that force required to accomplish the unlawful touching to be included within the statutorily defined criminal acts of either sexual battery or aggravated sexual battery.

Row v. Commonwealth

Facts:

The evidence was not sufficient to support defendant's conviction in Fairfax for aggravated sexual battery, in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.3, because testimony from defendant's daughter did not slightly corroborate the corpus delicti of the offense involving defendant's extrajudicial confession to inappropriate sexual behavior with his grandson

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • When reviewing a defendant's challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a conviction, the Supreme Court of Virginia reviews the evidence in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth, as the prevailing party at trial, and considers all inferences fairly deducible from that evidence. The lower court will be reversed only if that court's judgment is plainly wrong or without evidence to support it.
  • To the extent that circumstantial evidence establishes a defendant's mere opportunity to commit the corpus delicti, this is insufficient to provide slight corroboration. The Commonwealth must go further and present evidence of such circumstances as will, when taken in connection with the confession, establish the occurrence of the corpus delicti beyond a reasonable doubt.
