IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent,

v. WALLACE SAMUEL CARMALT, Defendant and Appellant. H038402 (Santa Clara County Super. Ct. No. F1035060)

Over the course of two trials, Wallace Samuel Carmalt was found guilty of one count of forcible lewd conduct and five counts of aggravated sexual assault on a child under the age of 14

. H e challeng es certain evidentiary rulings, jury instructions, and the sufficiency of the evidence to support the aggravated sexual assault convictions resulting
from the second trial

. Finding no error, we will uphold those convictions. W e will
further uphold the de nial of defendant’s motion for a new trial on forcible lewd conduct under the doctrine of judicial estoppel. We will correct errors in the trial cour t’s fees and penalty assessment calculations , and affirm the judgment as modified.

I. TRIAL COURT PROCEED INGS
A. B ACKGROUND D efendant was charged by information with six counts of aggrav ated sexual assault (rape) of Angela Doe, a child under 14 years of age and more than 10 years2

younger than defendant (Pen. Code, § § 26 9, 261, subd. (a)(2) 1 ; counts 1 through 6) and
1 3 counts of forcible lewd conduct on Angela Doe, a child under 14 years of age (§ 288,
subd. (b)(1); counts 7 through 19). The information alleged one count of aggravated sexual assault for every year between Angela’s eighth and fourteenth birthd ays

. The forcible lewd conduct charges were identical

— all alleged to have occurred between Angela’s eighth and fourteenth birthdays

. A jury found defendant guilty of one count of forcible lewd conduct (count 7) and not guilty of the aggravated sexual as s ault alleged to have occurred when Angela was eight (count 1)

. The jury was unable to reach unanimous verdicts on the remaining counts and a mistrial was declared as to those

counts. The case was retried before a different judge after the judge who pre sided over the
first trial retired

. Defendant represented himself at both trials. D efendant moved pretrial
to dismiss the deadlocked counts on double jeopardy grounds. He argued that all remaining counts should be dismissed because the first jury h ad no t attributed a specifi c act to the count 7 forcible lewd conduct verdict , and he supported that position with
declarations from juror s number 4 and number 9 stating that no juror assigned or design ated any specific act to that count

. 2 The court denied defendant’s motion as to the aggravated sexual assault charges (counts 2 through 6), but the prosecutor conceded defendant’s position as to the surviving counts of forcible lewd conduct ( counts 8 through 19 ) , and the court dismissed those counts

. D efendant was found guilty in the second trial of the five remaining aggr avated sexual assault charges. He was sentenced to consecutive 15

- years

- to

- life terms on each

count , for a total term of 75 years to life . He received eight years on count 7 stayed

1 Undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code. 2 Both jurors also referenced “discussion with my fellow jurors” about defendant’s possible sentence, including counseling, and about the possibility that defendant would not be retried if he were found guilty of only one count.3

pursuant to section 654. The court imposed a $10,000 restitution fund fine (§ 1202.4,
subd. (b)), a $10,000 suspended parole revocation restitution fine (§ 1202.45), a $150 court security assessment ( § 1465.8, subd. (a)(1 )), a $ 150 court facilities assessment ( Gov. Code, § 70303 ), a $129.75 c riminal j ustice administrative fee ( Gov. Code, § 29550,
subd. (c)) , a $200 sex offense conviction fine (§ 290.3 ) , and $ 600 in penalty assessments

. T he court made a “ general order of restitution , ” but that order was not reflected in the minutes or abstract of judgment

. 3 Defendant moved for a new trial on several grounds including juror misconduct during the first trial to challenge the validity of the count 7 verdict. Relying on the same
decla rations used to support his double jeopardy challenge ( plus a third similar
declaration executed after that motion was heard ), defendant argued that the first jury had
committed misconduct in several ways including failure to follow the instruction requiri ng unanimity as to a specific act supporting the verdict on count 7. The prosecuto r argued in opposition that defendant’s declarations were inadmissible under Evidence
Code section 1150. The prosecutor also rebutted defendant’s declarations with
declarat ions from five other jurors who stated that the jury had unanimously agreed on a specific act supporting count 7. 4 That motion was denied . In concluding that the juror misconduct allegations did not provide a basis for a new trial, the court noted that

3 We understand the general restitution order to be an order reserving jurisdiction to determine the amount of victim restitution at a later time. (See People v. Guardado (1995) 40 Cal.App.4th 757, 762

– 763. We deem the order’s omission from the minutes and abstract of judgment a clerical error. ( People v. Hong (1998) 64 Cal.App.4th 1071, 1075.) We will order the trial court to amend those documents to reflect that order

. ( Id

– 1085.)

4 According to three of the prosecution’s declarations, juror number 9 was concerned during deliberations that defendant was being “railroaded” and “thrown under the bus.” Two of those jurors stated that juror number 9 expresse d his reluctance to vote guilty because he did not want defendant to go to prison. A fourth juror wrote that an alternate juror said one of the jurors tried to recruit other jurors during cigarette breaks to vote not guilty.4

E vidence Code section 1150 bars statements in juror declarations about the misuse of the jury unanimity instruction

. B
. S ECOND T RIAL E VIDENCE 1. Prosecution’s Case

a . Charged c onduct Angela testified that she was born in February 1991

. When she was five or six , her father and his girlfriend ( who later became Angela’s stepmother ) rented a room in
their home to defendant. Defendant moved with the couple twice and lived with them until 2006. Angela spent every other weekend and every Wednesday night a t her father ’s home until she was 13. During that time, her father was disabled and addicted to painkillers , and her stepmother was absent from the house for extended periods of time, working and caring for her elderly parents. As a consequence, Angela w as left alone and spent most of her time with defendant , who was 29 years her senior

. Defendant was nice to Angela: They hung out, played games, went for food, swam, played karaoke, and told jokes. He was there for her when she needed help. When Angela was about seven, defendant began showing her pornographic films.
When she was eight or nine , defendant initiated sexual contact with Angela , having her
simulate the pornographic acts with him. Defendant would p ut pornography on the
television or computer, take off Angela’s clothes, and rub his penis on the inside of her vaginal lips in one of three positions until he would ejaculate. This happened in defendant’s bedroom during every visit with her father until Angela was 13 and stopped
the visits because she did not want to be around defendant

. Although Angela was not scared of defendant, s he did not understand what was going on and she was scared of the
situation

. Angela never removed her own clothes or positioned herself; rather, she was maneuvered by defendant , who was a lot bigger than her

. She never told him “no,” and
he did not cause her physical pain

. He told her not to tell anyone, and she did not tell5

because she thought it was her fault. Although she hated defendant and she kn e w his behavior was wrong, she r eturned to his bedroom because her “ body still liked it

. ”
One time in the garage Angela and her friend Kiki masturbated defendant’s penis
with their hands. 5 Kiki was also present when defendant “did it” to Angela in h is room. Angela disclosed the molestation to a friend’s father , who testified that he had
been extremely concerned about Angela’s behavior, including self

- cutting, alcohol and
dr ug use, and depression. He met Angela when she was 16 , observed her in an

“ enormous amount of pain, ” and had expressed his concern f or several months before she
mad e her disclosure. Another year passed before she agreed to go to the police. Angela’s father recalled defendant commenting that he wanted to move to a state
where m arrying a 13 or 14 year old girl was legal . Angela’s stepmother recalled
defendant considering marriage to a 12, 13, or 14 year old to be perfectly normal

.

b
. Uncharged c onduct ( p ropensity e vidence)
D efendant lived with his sister for extended period s of time when he was in his
twenties . His sister’s stepdaughter Nicole testified that she was born in 19 78 and met defendant when she was eight . Defe ndant was flirtatious, told Nic ole he was interested in her romantically, and when she was 12 he said he loved her, would marry her, and she would be the mother of his children. When Nicole was 12 or 13, her stepmother told defendant he could not be in the home alone with her. Nicole testified at age 3 3 that she knew defendant found her sexually attractive when she was 8, 9, and 10 years old

. Nicole identified a picture of herself in a collage found during a search of defendant’s residence. The picture was taken when s he was about 13 , and her head was superimposed on a wedding dress. The collage was fo und in an envelope also containing
a four

- page composition titled “Why I wish to marry Nicole

. ” In that writing defendant

5 Kiki testified that she wa tched Angela masturbate defendant’s penis and that occurred on more than one occasion when she and Angela were 10 or 11. She recalled Angela looking frightened and saying “I don’t want to do this.”6

described meeting Nicole: “There while visiting my sister Ethel’s house I met for the first time a pretty young girl who was then at the age of eight and who was the only one present amongst a group of people who was dressed up very nicely and wearing a fancy
laced white dress with a pink ribbon and her hair fixed quite nice. At that precise moment when I for the first time looked at her, I heard a voice say ‘that is your bride.’ ” He also wrote “I am thoroughly in control of my passions

. ... T hough one day I have hope to be permi tted to unbridle the passions that I have for Nicole

. ... I remain respectful to the wishes of her guar dians and the laws of the land

. ... To her my love shall always be faithful, the dearest girl I know, Nicole.” Defendant had acknowledged creating the c ollage and writing when Nicole was 12 or 13.
2. Defendant’s Case Several character witnesses testified that they had hired defendant as a handyman , and none had observed any conduct suggesting that he was a child molester or rapist. Angela’s stepmoth er’s brother , who had attended family events with defendant, had never observed any behavior suggesting defendant was a child molester or rapist.
Defendant had fathered a child in 2007 . The child’s maternal step

- grandmother Kay had observed nothing to indica te defendant was a rapist or molester. Kay also testified that her daughter , Karen, had met defendant when she was a mentally disadvantaged 20

- year

old who acted 15 or 16. Angela’s stepmother testified that defendant liked young girls and that Kare n was mentally 14 or 15 when she and defendant met. Angela’s stepmother acknowledged having a close and at times emotionally dependent relationship with defendant over the
years. Defendant argued that Angela fabricated the allegations because she w as jea lous of defendant’s relationship with Karen . H e also argued that the prosecution had not
prove d that the sexual acts were committed by force or duress

.7 II
. DISCUSSION
A

. T HE N EW T RIAL M OTION 1. Juror Declarations
Evidence Code section 1150

— governing the admissibility of juror declarations to challenge a verdict’s validity

— provides: “[A] ny otherwise admissible evidence may be
received as to statements made, or conduct , conditions, or events occurring, either within or without the jury room , of such a character as is likely to have influenced the verdict improperly

. No evidence is admissible to show the effect of such statement, conduct, condition, or event upon a juror either in influencing him to assent to or dissent from the verdict or concerning th e mental processes by which it was determined. ” In construing Evidence Code section 1150 shortly after its enactment, our Supreme Court distinguished
between “ proof of overt acts , objectively ascertainable, and proof of the subjective reasoning processes of the individual juror, which can be neither corroborated nor disproved .” ( People v. Hutchinson (1969) 71 Cal.2d 342, 349.) Hutchinson explained that “[t] he only improper influences that may be proved under section 1150 to impeach a
verdict

... are those open to sight, hearing, and the other senses and thus subject to
corroboration .” ( Id . at p. 350.) Defendant supported his new tria l motion with three juror declaration s , each containing an identical paragraph 4. He argues that the first sentence of th at paragraph

— “Also, during deliberations, neither I, the jury foreman, nor any of the other jurors discussed assigning or designating any specific act to Count 7”

— alleges objective
conduct under Hutchinson

. 6 Thus, defendant continues, the court abused its discretion by failing to consider that statement in ruling on the new trial motion. According to

6 Paragraph 4 continued: “When we unanimously agreed to find the defendant guilty of Count 7 it was not based on a specific act to which we all agreed, but merely as a violation of PC§288(b)(1). When we decided the verdicts on counts 7

- 19, we were only voting on whether or not any PC§288(b)(1) violation had o ccurred involving the defendant and his accuser rather than on a specific act.”8

defendant, the statement shows that the jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict regarding count 7 as requ ired by the jury instructions, and the failure to follow the unanimity instruction constitutes prejudicial jury misconduct. Defendant argues that the prosecution’s opposing declarations are subjective mental process inadmissible under
Evidence Code sectio n 1150.
2. Judicial Estoppel We requested supplemental briefing on whether the doctrine of judicial estoppel
bars defendant from seeking a new trial on count 7 based on an inconsistent position he
took in his double jeopardy motion. After considering th e parties’ arguments, we conclude that the doctrine applies here

. ( Green v. Superior Court (1985) 40 Cal.3d 126, 139 [“the failure to have urged [a] theory below does not preclude our reliance on it to affirm the trial court’s ruling.”].)
Judicial esto ppel is an equitable doctrine that “ ‘ precludes a party from gaining an advantage by taking one position, and then seeking a second advantage by taking an incompatible position. ’ ” ( Aguilar v. Lerner (2004) 32 Cal.4th 974, 986 ( Aguilar ).) The
doctrine ap plies in both civil and criminal cases. (See Aguilar ; Zedner v. United States (2006) 547 U.S. 489; Murphy v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts (1900) 177 U.S. 155.)

“ ‘The doctrine’ s dual goals are to maintain the integrity of the judicial system and to prot ect parties from opponents’ unfair strategies. ’ ” ( Aguilar , at p. 986.) The elements of judicial estoppel are “ ‘ (1) the same party has taken two positions; (2) the positions were taken in judicial or quasi

- judicial administrative proceedings; (3) the party was successful in asserting the first position (i.e., the tribunal adopted the position or accepted it as true); (4) the two positions are totally inconsistent; and (5) the fir st position was not taken as a result of ignorance, fraud, or mistake. ’ ” ( Id . at pp. 986

– 987.) Defendant acknowledges that four elements are present here. He argued two positions during the course of his criminal prosecution: (1) that the count 7 verdict precluded retrial on the other 12 forcible lewd act counts based on the prohibition against9

double jeopardy, and (2) that prejudicial juror misconduct invalidated the count 7 verdict. The double jeopardy motion was successful and not attributable to ignorance, fraud, or mistake. But defendant presses that the doctrin e’s remaining element, which requires the “conflicting positions [to] be clearly inconsistent so that one necessarily excludes the
other ” ( Jackson v. County of Los Angeles (1997) 60 Cal.App.4th 171, 182), is not
satisfied here

. Although a verdict was ne cessary to the double jeopardy motion, defendant argues
that the type of verdict was inconsequential because the motion could have been supported by either a guilty or a not guilty verdict. Accordingly, h e contends that the double jeopardy motion relied o nly on the fact that the jury rendered a verdict on count 7,
not on the fact that the verdict was for guilt. According to defendant, to be totally inconsistent with his double jeopardy position, his new trial motion would have had to argue for “no verdict at all for count 7,” not for a new trial which would allow a new
verdict. But in the double jeopardy motion, defendant had to take the position that the guilty verdict on count 7 was valid. By arguing in the new trial motion that the lack of unanimity rendered the same verdict constitutionally invalid, defendant ’s position was wholly inconsistent with the position he advanced in the double jeopardy motion , which
resulted in the dismissal of 12 counts of forcible lewd conduct. Defendant’s remedy for the claimed juror misconduct

— a new trial as opposed to no verdict

—has no bearing on the inconsistent positions he took with respect to the verdict’s validity. Defendant could
not have prevailed in the new trial motion without having the verdict deemed invalid , and he could not have prevailed in the double jeopardy motion without the same verdict being
valid. Defendant does not challenge this court’s discretion to apply judicial estoppel on
app eal. Rather, he argues that the doctrine should not apply because he did not intend to
be self

- contradicto ry or to obtain an unfair advantage . We view t he record differently

. Before the second trial , d efendant could have used his juror declarations to s eek a new10

trial on count 7 based on juror misconduct (the absence of unanimity) invalidating the
verdict. But he could not have moved for a new trial based on invalidity and at the same
time moved for dismissal based on double jeopardy

. By bringing his d ouble jeopardy motion, d efendant made a tactical decision to use the valid verdict to obtain dismissal of the 12 remaining forcible lewd conduct counts instead of seeking to invalidate th e verdict for lack of unanimity which would have resulted in a retria l on all 13 forcible lewd
conduct counts. Allowing defendant now to change his position after retrial would provide an unfair advantage because he cannot be retried on the dismissed counts, a recourse that would have been available to the prosecution had defendant not brought and prevailed on his double jeopardy motion. Defendant argues that we should remand for the trial court to exercise its discretion to apply the doctrine in the first instance. We decline to do so. This case has a lengthy history i n the superior court, and we are not inclined to add to that court’s duties an inquiry that we are authorized and able to re solve on th e record before us

. We therefore do not reach the merits of defendant’s argument on appeal that the count 7
verdict should be reversed based on the jury’s failure to deliberate and reach unanimous agreement on the specific act supporting the verdict.
B
. S ECOND T RIAL C HALLENGES 1. Specific Acts Evidence Defendant argues, and the Attorney General concedes, that the trial court erred by not allowing defendant to present evidence of specific instances of conduct to rebut the prosecution’s evidence showing defendant’s propensity for sexual misconduct with
you ng girls. The prosecution’s propensity evidence was admitted under Evidence Code section 1108. That section provides an exception to the inadmissibility of character evidence offered to prove a person’s conduct under Evidence Code section 1101.
Evidence Code section 1108 applies to criminal actions for sexual offenses, and it allows for admissibility of other sexual offenses to show conforming conduct . In People v.11

Callahan (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 356, 379, recently cited with approval by the California
S upreme Court ( People v. Cottone (2013) 57 Cal.4th 269, 288), the court held that a defendant is permitted to introduce any of the three types of character evidence

— opinion, reputation, and specific instances of conduct

— to rebut evidence introduced by the
p rosecution under Evidence Code section 1108. Accordingly, we will accept the Attorney General’s concession that the trial court erred by excluding defendant’s evidence of specific instances of conduct to rebut the prosecution’s propensity evidence , and we will a ssess the error for prejudice. We analyze evidentiary error under People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818, 836 ( Watson ), which provides for reversal only when “it is reasonably probable that a result more favorable to the appealing party would have b een reached in the absence of error.” (Evid. Code, § 354 [precluding relief from judgment unless the erroneous exclusion of evidence “resulted in a miscarriage of justice”]; People v. McAlpin (1991)
53 Cal.3d 1289, 1311 [applying Watson harmless error rev iew to erroneous exclusion of evidence].) On this record, it is not reasonably probable that defendant would have
received a more favorable result had his character witnesses testified to specific instances when defendant behaved appropriately in the pres ence of girls. 7 Defendant presented several witnesses who testified that he did not have character traits indicative of a rapist or child molester. One witness described that she met defendant when she hired him for a construction job around the time her daughter graduated from high school. Defendant spent a lot of time on her property and she observed no behavior causing her concern that he was a molester or child rapist. Anothe r

7 Defendant has not identified with any particularity the specific instances of conduct excluded by the erroneous evidentiary ruling. He made an offer of proof that his wit nesses would testify to “[s]pecific acts of good conduct that they’ve observed.” He proffered testimony that he worked in the witnesses’ homes around children, that the witnesses observed his interaction with children, and that his behavior gave no indica tion that he was a pedophile or a rapist.12

witness met him as a handyman. She had observed his behavior and interaction with her family, and she was never concerned that he might be a sexual predator, rapist, or
molester. More than once she had referred defendant to other families with children , and she had never received any reports from those families concerning his behavior in their
homes.
A third witness also met defendant as a handyman. Defendant spent lengthy periods of time in her home and she never observed any behavior suggesting he w as a rapist or a child molester. She had recommended defendant to friends with children and those friends never reported any inappropriate behavior. A fourth witness testified that
d efendant had worked on several properties where her relatives, including children, lived. No one ever reported trouble and she never observed anything suggesting defendant had an interest in raping or molesting young girls. Angela’s stepmother’s brother testified to knowing defendant for about 20 years. He had attended fami ly events where defendant and children were present, and he never observed inappropriate behavior suggesting defendant was interested in molesting or raping children. Finally, Kay , t he stepmother of defendant’s ex

- girlfriend Karen and step

- grandmother of defendant’s daughter, testified that she had known defendant for seven years, and his behavior had never suggested that he might be a rapist or a molester.
We find no prejudice here because t he opinion testimony of defendant’s character witnesses implie d that they had observed only appropriate conduct on defendant’s part. (See People v. Callahan , supra , 74 Cal.App.4th at p. 380.) Thus, little would have been
added had the witnesses elaborated on specific instances on which they based their opinion test imony. Further, the prosecution’s case was strong. Angela was articulate and her testimony was internally consistent. Her testimony was corroborated by the testimony of Kiki, Nicole, Angela’s father, and the father of Angela’s friend to whom she
made he r disclosure. It was also corroborated by the collage and writing defendant created when Nicole was a girl, and by Angela’s stepmother, a defense witness who13

testified that defendant liked young girls, that defendant ’s presence disturbed Angela, and
that she believed Angela who, because of defendant, had become a broken child. Defendant argues that the right to introduce admissible evidence is a state law entitlement protected by the federal due process clause. Specifically, defendant argues
that the Cal ifornia Supreme Court, in People v. Ashe (1872) 44 Cal. 288 ( Ashe ) , “created an entitlement that a defendant may introduce evidence of his good character as a defense.” In Ashe , the California Supreme Court rejected a jury instruction that good
character evidence was “entitled to no weight, except in doubtful cases.” ( Id . at p. 290.) In so ruling, the court explained that good character “is a circumstance tending, in a great or less degree, to establish [a defendant’s] innocence, and it is not to be put aside by the jury, in order to ascertain if the other facts and circumstances, considered by themselves, do not establish [] guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.” ( Id . at p. 291.)
Ashe foretold what is now well

- established and recognized in the Evidence
Code

— that character evidence is relevant to prove or disprove guilt. (Evid. Code, § 1102.) But Ashe does not hold that a defendant has an unfettered right to introduce
character eviden ce, and we do not view that case as creating a due process interest in the introduction of evidence beyond that recognized in the right to a fair trial. ( Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 684

– 685 [“The Constitution guarantees a fair trial
thro ugh the Due Process Clauses[.]”].) When evidentiary error occurs, due process is violated only when that error makes the trial fundamentally unfair. ( People v. Partida (2005) 37 Cal.4th 428, 439 .) As we have detailed, defendant offered a vigorous defe nse through character
witnesses . In light of the extensive good character testimony, the excluded evidence was not central to defendant’s claim of innocence, but would have provided only further foundation for the witnesses’ opinions that defendant did no t possess the character trait of a rapist or child molester. Little value would have been added had defendant been able to ask character witnesses about specific interactions between himself and young children14

because observations of appropriate interacti on with children were implicit in the witnesses’ testimony. For these reasons, the trial court’s erroneous evidentiary ruling did not result in a fundamentally unfair trial. In supplemental briefing, defendant argues the evidentiary error deprived him of a meaningful opportunity to present a complete defense. Defendant presented several character witnesses to rebut the prosecution’s propensity evidence. Even if we were to assume the court’s evidentiary error amount ed to a violation of Sixth Amendment right to compulsory process, 8 for the reasons we have already explained, that error would be harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. ( Chapman v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 18; Crane v. Kentucky (1986) 476 U.S. 683, 691.)

. Substantial Evidence of Force or Duress The jury convicted defendant of five counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child predicated on defendant committing rape “against [the child’s] will by means of force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the [child].” (§§ 269, subd. (a)(1), 261, subd. (a)(2).) The terms “force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the victim” are used in the disjunctive

. Thus, a conviction may be supported by substantial evidence of any of those provisions. ( People v. Hale (2012) 204 Cal.App.4th 961, 976.) Defendant argues that insufficient evidence support s the five aggravated sexual assault verdicts. Specifically, he contends that substantial evidence fails to establish tha t he committed sexual intercourse against the will of Angela using force or duress. “ When considering a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determ ine whether

8 We reject the Attorney General’s assertion that defendant forfeited this claim by failing to identify the constitutional error below. We understand defendant to be arguing that the evidentiary error had the add itional legal consequence of violating the Sixth Amendment right to compulsory process. ( People v. Halvorsen (2007) 42 Cal.4th 379, 408, fn. 7.)15

it contains substantial evidence

— that is, evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of
solid value

— from which a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond
a reasonable doubt. ” ( People v. Lindberg (2008) 45 Cal. 4th 1, 27 .) We will affirm a conviction if “ ‘ “ any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. ” ’ ” ( People v. Alvarez (1996) 14 Cal. 4th 155 , 224, italics omitted.)
S ubstantial evidence supports the pro secut ion’s theory that Angela’s will was overcome by defendant ’s physical use of force. The evidence shows each time defendant sexually assaulted Angela, he removed her clothes and underwear , moved her into a sexual position, spread her legs with his hand s, and held or moved her body as he ru b b ed his penis inside her labia . Angela never removed her own clothes , and her position was always controlled by defendant

. Defendant was 29 years older and physically larger than Angela

. Substantial evidence also supports a finding that the rapes were committed against Angela’s will by duress. Duress, as an element of a sex offense against a minor , mean s

“ a direct or implied threat of force, violence, danger, hardship or retribution sufficient to
coerce a reasonab le [child] of ordinary susceptibilities to (1) perform an act which otherwise would not have been performed or, (2) acquiesce in an act to which one
otherwise would not have submitted .” ( People v. Pitmon (1985) 170 Cal.App.3d 38, 50.)
The existence of d u ress depends on the total circumstances including the child ’s age , relationship to defendant, and relative physical vulnerability. ( People v. Superior Court ( Kneip ) (1990) 219 Cal.App.3d 235, 238.) The record contains considerable evidence showing de fendant psychologically coerced Angela to engage in sexual acts

. Defendant began abusing Angela at a very young age , and she remained physically and emotionally vulnerable as the abuse persisted

. Defendant was a n unyielding source of attention, companion ship, meals , and support to Angela , filling a void created by her absent parents

. Defendant told Angela not to tell anyone, including her father and stepmother.16

Angela testified that she was not scared of defendant, but she was scared of the situation

an d she blamed herself

. Defendant’s age, size, and relationship with Angela and her family all support an implied threat constituting duress.

. Jury Instructions A lesser offense is necessarily included within a charged offense “if either the statutory elements of the greater offense, or the facts actually alleged in the accusatory pleading, include all the elements of the lesser offense, such that the greater cannot be committed without also committing the lesser. ” ( People v. Birks (1998) 19 Cal.4th 108, 117.) The parties do not dispute that u nlawful sexual intercourse with a minor (statutory rape) is a lesser included offense of aggravated sexual assault (rape) of a child under
either test. 9 Defendant argues that the trial court committed error b y not sua sponte instructing the jury on the lesser included offense of statutory rape . A trial court must instruct sua sponte on any lesser included offense “which find[s] substantial support in the evidence.” ( People v. Breverman (1998) 19 Cal.4th 142, 162. “ ‘ Substantial evidence ’ in this
context is ‘ “ evidence from which a jury compo sed of reasonable [persons]
coul d

... conclude[] ” ’ that the lesser offense, but not the greater , was committed.” ( Ibid .) W ith that standard in mind, w e conclude that the failure to instruct on the lesser

9 The elements of aggravated sexual assault (rape) of a child are (1) sexual intercourse with a non

- spouse, ( 2) against the victim’s will by “ force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the person or another,” (3) a victim under 14 years old, and (4) a defendant at least 7 years older than the victim. (§§ 269, 261, subd. ( a)(2).) Statutory rape is defined as “ an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person who is not the spouse of the perpetrator, if the person is a minor. ” (§261.5, subd. (a).) Because aggravated sexual assault (rape) of a child cannot be committ ed without committing an act of sexual intercourse with a non

- spouse minor, statutory rape is a lesser

- included offense of aggravated sexual assault/forcible rape under the statutory elements test. Statutory rape is also a lesser

- included offense under th e accusatory pleading test here because counts 2 through 7 alleged that defendant committed a violation of rape under section 261, subdivision (a)(2) upon Angela who was under the age of 14.17

included offense was error. ( People v. Cole (2004) 33 Cal.4th 1 1 58, 1215 [ review ing de

novo whether the trial court was required to instruct on the lesser included offense ]

. ) We also conclude, however, that defendant ha s failed to show prejudice from the error
because it is not reasonably probable that a jury would have convicted him of statutory rape instead of forcible sexual assault had they been presented with that option. ( Watson , supra , 46 Cal.2d at p. 836.)
No reasonable jury would have found an absence of force or duress on this
record. 10 Defendant was physically larger and significantly older than Angela

. Angela relied on defendant, who lived in her father’s home, for food, companionship, and support. Defen dant exposed Angela to pornography when she was six or seven, and he was regularly raping her by the time she was nine

. Defendant physically manipulated Angela into sexual positions , and she was scared of the situation. Defendant told her not to tell any one , and she did not tell because she thought the abuse was her fault. Angela
hated defendant and engaged in self

- destructive behavior for several years before finally disclosing the abuse

. Notwithstanding that Angela entered defendant’s room freely and
at times “liked the feeling , ” t he rapes would not have occurred but for defendant’s physical and psychological manipulation of a vulnerable child

. 4

. Cumulative Error We reject defendant’s cumulative error argument. We find no prejudice from the
trial court’s errors viewed separately or collectively, and o ur examination of the entire
record shows no miscarriage of justice (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 13) or due process
violation.

10 Defendant argues that the first trial’s deadlock demonstrates that evidence of force or duress was far from overwhelming. But the juror declarations in the record do not show disagreement among the jurors regarding force or duress. The declarations reveal a minority of jurors concerned with the possibility defendan t would be sentenced to prison and speculating as to whether he would be retried if he were only found guilty of one of the 19 charged offenses.18

C

. E RRO NEOUS A SSESSMENTS The trial court imposed $600 in penalty assessments without identifying the individual assessments supporting th at figure

. The parties agree that $600 is incorrect , and they further agree to imposition of the following mandatory penalty assessments: $200 under section 1464, $40 under section 1465.7, $70 under Government Code section 70372, and $140 under Government Code section 76000. The parties agree that penalty
assessments under Government C ode sections 76000.5 and 76104.7 cannot be imposed
because those assessments took effect after defendant commit ted the offenses. ( People v.
Voit (2011) 200 Cal.App.4th 1353, 1374.)
T he parties disagree whether imposition of the Government Code section 76104.6 penalty assessment , effective November 3, 2004, can be imposed without violat ing ex post facto princ ipl es. D efendant committed four of the five aggravated sexual assaults before February 2004 (counts 2 through 5) , and the fifth assault (count 6) sometime between February 2004 and February 2005. The forcible lewd act (count 7) occurred sometime between February 1 999 and February 2005. Counts 2 through 5 cannot serve as a basis for a Government Code
section 76104.6 penalty assessment because those offenses occurred before the
assessment’s November 3, 2004 ef fec tive date. Nor can count 6 or 7 support the

assessment because nothing in the record establish es that those convictions were based on

acts occurring after November 3, 2004 . Accordingly, imposition of the Government
Code section 76104.6 penalty assessm ent would violate the prohibition against ex post
facto laws.
We also note errors in the trial court’s calculation of court security (§ 1465.8) and facilities assessments (Gov. Code, § 70373). ( People v. Woods (2010)
191 Cal.App.4th 269, 272 [court security and facilities a ssessments are mandatory].)
Those assessments are imposed on each conviction, including convictions stayed under section 654. ( People v. Sharret (2011) 191 Cal.App.4th 859, 865; People v. Crittle19

(2007) 154 Cal.A pp.4th 368, 370

– 371.) The court security assessment is $ 4 0 per conviction (§ 1465.8) and the facilities assessment is $3 0 per conviction (Gov. Code, § 70373). For the six convictions here , the court should have imposed a $ 240 court security assessment (instead of $150) and a $ 180 facilities assessment (instead of $150)

. In supplemental briefing, the parties recognize our authority to correct unauthorized

assessments , and we will do so . ( In re Ricky H . (1981) 30 Cal.3d 176, 191 ; People v.
Stewart ( 2004) 117 Cal .App.4th 907, 911

– 912. )
I II . DISPOSITION
The judgment is modified to reflect imposition of a $ 24 0 court security assessment (Pen. Code, § 1465.8, subd. (a)(1 )), a $18 0 facilities assessment ( Gov. Code, § 703 7 3),
and the foll o wing penalty assessments: (1) a $200 state penalty assessment (Pen. Code, § 1464 , subd. (a)(1)); (2) a $40 state surcharge (Pen. Code, § 1465.7); (3) a $70 court construction penalty (Gov. Code, § 70372) ; and (4) a $140 additional penalty (Gov. Code, §76000). As modified, the judg ment is affirmed.
The superior court c lerk is directed to prepare and transmit to the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation a corrected a bstract of judgment and minutes reflecting our disposition, including the corrected court security and facilities assessments, and the
