State v. Johnson, 822 P.2d 153

PER CURIAM

Defendant was convicted of coercion. ORS 163.275. The state concedes that there was insufficient evidence to support the verdict. Coercion requires proof that the victim was actually compelled or induced to abstain from engaging in the conduct in which she had a right to engage or not to engage. The trial testimony is conclusive that defendant’s threats did not have that effect.

Reversed.
