How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• rejecting defendant’s argument that lack of physical evidence of injury to victim’s vaginal area contradicted victim’s claim that defendant put his penis inside her vagina
• finding no improper consideration when the trial court noted the defendant committed aggravated criminal sexual assault at knifepoint, because “there are wide variances in the risk of harm to victims of sexual attacks”
• “Inherent in a trial judge’s authority to conduct and preside over a criminal trial is the discretion 5 to conclude that a defendant’s conduct or pursuit of an otherwise legal right is frivolous and merely an attempt to frustrate the administration of justice.”
