Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a direct appeal from a conviction of rape (K.S.A. 21-3502). The complainant was the adopted stepdaughter [233 Kan. 2] of defendant, Raymond Louis Matlock. The rape allegedly occurred in April 1979. The charge of rape was not filed in Leavenworth County until July 15, 1980, one year and three months after the alleged rape took place. The defendant denied the charge. At the trial, the only witness called by the State was the complainant, who at that time was twenty-two years of age. The alleged rape took place at the defendant's home in Leavenworth on an evening when there were several members of the family present in the house. The complainant testified that the act occurred in her bedroom on an old creaky bed at a time when the door to her sister's room was open. The defense called four witnesses who testified they were in the house on the night in question. They were the complainant's two sisters, her mother (the defendant's wife), and a young man who was a friend of one of the sisters. All of these witnesses denied that they saw or heard anything that night. The defendant took the stand and unequivocally denied the charge. The jury convicted the defendant and he appealed.
