State v. Cain

1Opinion of the Court
Ringold, A.C.J.
In a juvenile court bench trial, Lennie Todd Cain was found guilty of rape in the first degree and robbery in the first degree, both offenses committed while armed with a deadly weapon.
The rape was committed by Cain's insertion of his fingers into the victim's vagina. At the close of the State's case the defense moved for dismissal contending that the State did not prove an act of sexual intercourse as required by former RCW 9.79.140.
