Description
James Sullivan appeals from his convictions on jury verdicts of guilty to the crimes of statutory rape in the first degree, former RCW 9A.44.070(1), and indecent liberties, RCW 9A.44.100(1)(b). The victim was an 11-year-old girl, a member of Sullivan's household. The other members of the household included Sullivan, his wife, and the victim's siblings. On appeal, Sullivan contends that the prosecutor elicited evidence placing him in a high-risk category of sexual offenders in violation of an order in limine, thus entitling him to a new trial; that his right to a fair trial was infringed when a juror was dismissed over objection and replaced by an alternate after most of the evidence had been heard; that he was deprived of a right to a fair trial because of misconduct by the prosecutor; and that the evidence was insufficient to establish statutory rape.
