Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by William N. Lovelace appeals from judgment and sentences imposed after a jury trial in Sedgwick County, Kansas. He was convicted of aggravated sodomy (K.S.A. 21-3506) and of taking indecent liberties with a child (K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 21-3503). Lovelace is a fifty-year-old man. The victim, a fourteen-year-old boy, and his family had been acquainted with Lovelace for seven or eight years. The boy and Lovelace had been together for various activities such as bowling and movies at least fifty times during the period of their acquaintance. Appellant has an eighteen-year-old son, Mike, who was staying at the Boys' Industrial School in Topeka. He had been involved in a burglary. Appellant made arrangements to pick up his son for a home visit. He also made arrangements with the parents of the victim to have him accompany appellant to Topeka on a Friday. On Saturday the victim was going to caddy for appellant in a golf tournament. Friday morning the appellant and John, the victim, had breakfast at a restaurant. On the way to the turnpike entrance appellant called John's attention to some Boy's Life magazines in the car. John told appellant that he was not a kid anymore and that he wanted some good stuff to read like the magazines in appellant's house. They turned the car around and returned to the house where John picked up magazines such as Playboy, Honcho, Blueboy, Hustler and Cherry. They then proceeded on their way to Topeka. At some point on the way to Topeka John said to appellant, My penis gets hard when I look at this stuff. John testified that appellant responded, John, why don't you remove your pants so I can feel your penis. John removed his pants and appellant rubbed John's penis for approximately five minutes.
