Hudspeth instructs us to look to the identities of the victims and the locations. Although Williams' two victims were taken from the same location at the same time, the kidnapping and the subsequent assault oc- curred at different locations. In one sense Williams is correct. Merely because an offense has multi- ple victims is not always dispositive of whether an offense occurred on one occasion or more than one occasion. But in this case we must analyze each location as well as the number of victims in conjunction with the crimes committed.
Kidnapping is a single crime, but for purposes of sec.
Williams argues that the kidnappings and sexual assault were all one crime and do not reflect distinct aggressions. In 1976 and again in 1983, he kidnapped and raped a woman after she picked him up while he was hitchhiking. The Second Circuit found that Towne's method of operation was to threaten his vic- tim with a weapon and then take her to an area where he would carry out the sexual assault. As a result, the ACCA's sentence enhancement was found to be inappli- cable where the defendant kidnapped his victim for the purpose of sexually assaulting her. Factually, Towne is similar.
