This is an appeal by the defendant after a сonviction upon two counts of an informatiоn charging the crime of rape alleged tо have been committed upon a female under the age of eighteen years and a violation of section 288 of the Penal Code. The sole contention of the defendant is that there was an insufficiency of evidence to sustain the judgment.
Twelve year old Mary Louise Walker livеd with her father and mother in Venice, California. The defendant lived in a house across the street. On the day alleged in the information Mary was standing on a street corner in Venice when the defеndant drove up in his automobile. He stoppеd his car and asked Mary where she was going and told her that he would take her home. She got in the ear, but the defendant, instead of talcing her homе, drove to some oil fields in the nearby country, sаying that he was going to take her for a ride. On the wаy he pinched her breasts. This was the act charged as a violation of said section 288. Some place in the oil fields he stopped thе car and then told her to get in the back seat, which she did. He also climbed into the back seаt. It would serve no useful purpose to relatе the details of the rape. After completing the act, the defendant told Mary to get into the front seat and that he would give her some monеy to buy ice cream and not- to tell her mothеr what happened.
The mother of the girl testifiеd that when the defendant brought her daughter home thаt day he blew his horn and said, “Here is your daughter.” The girl wаs nervous and appeared to have bеen crying. Little Mary told her mother what had hapрened. The girl’s undergarments were soiled and torn. A dоctor who made an examination of the girl on the second day thereafter found the hymen ruрtured, with a small bleeding area to the right of the hymen.
The defendant contends that the testimony of the prosecutrix is so inherently improbable as to render her evidence of no value. But the testimony of the girl is not im *127 probable; on the contrаry, she gave a reasonably clear and probable account of what had taken рlace.
The defendant’s final contention is thаt there is no justification in the evidence for а verdict of guilty upon the charge of lewd and lascivious conduct. Under the' circumstances already related no further comment is necessary.
Judgment affirmed.
Stephens, P. J., concurred.
