In People v. Aguirre (1991) 227 Cal. App. 3d 373 277 Cal. Rptr. 771, the defendant committed multiple felonies, including sex crimes, during a nighttime assault on a young couple on the beach in 1981. The offenses were subject to a six-year statute of limitations, and an indictment charging the defendant with those crimes was returned in 1985. When the defendant was later arrested and appeared in superior court, it was discovered that he was 16 years old at the time of the crimes. Criminal proceedings were suspended and the matter was certified to juvenile court, where the defendant appeared in 1988. The juvenile court found the defendant unfit and returned him to superior court. There, he was arraigned and given a preliminary hearing. After the defendant was held to answer, the People filed an information that was identical to the 1985 indictment. The defendant pleaded guilty to the charges in the information. ( People v. Aguirre, supra, 227 Cal. App. 3d at pp. 376-378.)
