Description
A jury found the defendant, Larry G. Wickizer, guilty of the crime of rape in violation of § 559.260, RSMo Supp. 1975, and of the crime of sodomy in violation of § 563.230, RSMo 1969. He was sentenced to concurrent terms of 35 years for rape and 10 years for sodomy. We affirm. The events in question took place in Jackson County, Missouri, on May 6, 1977. Jana Lombardo and Dale Corum, a friend, drove to Shelter House No. 11 at Lake Jacomo. Shortly after arriving, they were approached by appellant and another and asked to join a party. They agreed and went to the Shelter House where they joined six or seven other persons. Some marijuana was smoked. Appellant encouraged Jana to take a ride on his motorcycle and after several requests she reluctantly did. Following their absence for forty-five minutes, Corum went to the Sheriff's Patrol Headquarters at Lake Jacomo. Neither appellant nor Jana had been seen or heard of by the sheriff's office, so he returned to the Shelter House. Neither Jana nor appellant was there. Later, he again returned to the sheriff's office. Not seeing the motorcycle, he again returned to the Shelter House. He then went for a walk and as he approached his car he heard a voice say he's leaving. Three or four people came up to him and Jackie Wickizer, appellant's brother, grabbed him by the neck and dragged him down. Wickizer checked his wallet, asked him who he was, and then let him up. Corum then saw Susan Gordon, appellant's girl friend, inspecting the interior of the car. Following the assault, Corum returned to the sheriff's office to get help. Approximately one and one-half hours later, Jana was brought to the sheriff's office in another car by two couples. She complained of being raped and was crying. Her hair was messed and her clother were dirty.
