Text

All appeals filed by the defendant and prosecutor are dismissed.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. (1) The court below found the defendant guilty of quasi-rape by misunderstanding the facts, even though the defendant only has a sex relationship under the agreement with the victim of misunderstanding of facts, and did not have sexual intercourse with the victim who was in a state of failing to resist due to alcohol.
