People v. Broyles

In People v. Broyles (1957) 151 Cal. App. 2d 428, the defendants, posing as deputy sheriffs, ordered a woman into their car under the guise she and a male companion were engaged in illegal conduct while parked on a back road. The victim got into their car believing they were police officers. They drove her several miles. They stopped the car and she was raped. In responding to the defendants' argument on appeal that there had been no kidnapping, the court set forth the evidence which includes the observation that the defendants "forced the victim into their car by giving orders which she felt compelled to obey." (Ibid.)
