MUJI 2d CR1609
Forcible Sodomy.
(DEFENDANT'S NAME) is charged [in Count ___] with committing Forcible Sodomy [on or about DATE]. You cannot convict [him][her] of this offense unless, based on the evidence, you find beyond a reasonable doubt each of the following elements:
(DEFENDANT'S NAME);
Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly committed a sexual act involving any touching of the skin, however slight, of the genitals of one person and the mouth or anus of another;
Without (VICTIM'S NAME)'s consent; and
(DEFENDANT'S NAME) acted with intent, knowledge or recklessness that (VICTIM'S NAME) did not consent.
After you carefully consider all the evidence in this case, if you are convinced that each and every element has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, then you must find the defendant GUILTY. On the other hand, if you are not convinced that each and every element has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, then you must find the defendant NOT GUILTY.
