Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a direct appeal in a criminal action from jury convictions of rape (K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 21-3502) and aggravated sodomy (K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 21-3506). Many of the facts are undisputed and essentially are as follows: The victim, whom we will call Mrs. T, was separated from her husband and lived with her two and one-half year old son in Leavenworth. Several weeks earlier, her husband had moved out of the family home and was staying in the home of a mutual friend in Kansas City, Kansas. At 10:30 p.m. on May 5, 1983, Mrs. T and her son caught a ride from Leavenworth to Kansas City and proceeded to the home of the mutual friend so that she could talk with her husband. Although Mrs. T talked with him, she was not able to persuade him to come home. During the evening, the defendant, Richard Roger Bressman, arrived at the friend's home. Having failed to convince her husband to come home, Mrs. T began looking for a ride back to Leavenworth. Apparently no one wanted to furnish her transportation. She then asked defendant Bressman to drive her home and offered him $10 for gas. He reluctantly agreed and they left the friend's residence at approximately midnight in his car with defendant driving and Mrs. T and her son as passengers. At this point, the facts in the case enter the area of dispute. According to Mrs. T's testimony, they first stopped to obtain gas and then proceeded toward Leavenworth. On the way, defendant drove the car off of Highway K-7 onto State Avenue and then proceeded along a dirt road. According to Mrs. T, defendant stopped the car, threatened her with a knife, and forced her to disrobe. Then he forced her to have vaginal and oral sex. She testified that she tried to run away from him twice. She saw the lights of a car approaching the area. She ran toward it and screamed for help. It was a patrol car with a deputy sheriff driving. The officer yelled for defendant and he came out of the woods and surrendered. Mrs. T, who was partially disrobed, dressed and awakened her son who was still peacefully sleeping in the back of defendant's vehicle. The defendant was arrested and taken to the Wyandotte County jail. Mrs. T was taken to the Bethany Medical Center for an examination.
