The memory of the kidnapping, rape, and other heinous crimes committed against Jaycee Dugard by Phillip Garrido includes accusation from the victim, and the DA, that Nevada failed to properly supervise the convicted sex offender leading to the kidnapping and rape of the young child, Jaycee. This week another convicted Nevada child molester was booked into El Doardo county jail for committing sex crimes against a child in South Lake Tahoe.
Eric Shed Brandon, 64 years old and of Las Vegas, was arrested in SLT for 288a "Lewd or Lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14." Brandon is currently being held in EDC Jail with a bail of $5 million dollars for 288a, and a no-bail hold for violating his NV parole. Brandon's most recent address is listed as Las Vegas.
Defined in Penal Code 288a, "Oral copulation" is the act of copulating the mouth of one person with the sexual organ or anus of another person. Any contact, however slight, between the mouth of one person and the sexual organ or anus of another person constitutes oral copulation. Penetration of the mouth, sexual organ or anus is not required, nor is proof of ejaculation is required. [Penal Code 288a; CALJIC Jury Instruction 10.59.6.] Although child molestation in general is treated as a very serious crime in California, this section addresses the most serious and most extreme instances of child sexual abuse. Sometimes called a "one strike and you're out" law, a conviction under this section triggers life in prison, even upon a first offense.
