CALCRIM No. 3175
Sex Offenses: Sentencing Factors—Aggravated Kidnapping
(Pen. Code, § 667.61(d)(2))
If you find the defendant guilty of the crime[s] charged in Count[s]
<insert counts charging sex offense[s] from Pen. Code, § 667.61(c)>,
you must then decide whether[, for each crime,] the People have proved
the additional allegation that the defendant kidnapped
<insert name of alleged victim>, increasing the risk of harm to (him/her).
[Y ou must decide whether the People have proved this allegation for
each crime and return a separate finding for each crime.]
To prove this allegation, the People must prove that:
1. The defendant took, held, or detained <insert name
of alleged victim> by the use of force or by instilling reasonable
fear;
2. Using that force or fear, the defendant moved
<insert name of alleged victim> [or made (him/her) move] a
substantial distance;
3. The movement of <insert name of alleged victim>
substantially increased the risk of harm to (him/her) beyond that
necessarily present in the <insert sex offense[s] from
Pen. Code, § 667.61(c)>;
[AND]
4. <insert name of alleged victim> did not consent to
the movement(./;)
[AND
5. The defendant did not actually and reasonably believe that
<insert name of alleged victim> consented to the
movement.]
Substantial distance means more than a slight or trivial distance. The
movement must be more than merely incidental to the commission of
<insert sex offense[s] from Pen. Code, § 667.61(c)>. In
deciding whether the distance was substantial and whether the
movement substantially increased the risk of harm, you must consider all
the circumstances relating to the movement.
The People have the burden of proving each allegation beyond a
reasonable doubt. If the People have not met this burden, you must find
that the allegation has not been proved.
