Description

Anyone who in the commission of a felony "personally inflicts great bodily injury . . . shall be punished by an additional and consecutive term of imprisonment." (Pen. Code, § 12022.7, subd. (a), italics added.)*fn1 Under the "One Strike Law" (§ 667.61), when a defendant is convicted of a specified sex offense and the jury finds true a section 12022.7 allegation, the trial court must sentence the defendant to a prison term of 15 years to life. Here, defendant was so sentenced based on the jury's finding that he had inflicted great bodily injury on his 13-year-old stepdaughter, who after defendant had sexual intercourse with her became pregnant and underwent an abortion that defendant encouraged her to have.
