BLAKE V. STATE
933 P.2d 474 (1997)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Blake (D) sought review of his conviction on the State's charge of
second degree sexual assault of his stepdaughter in violation of Wyo. Stat. Ann.
6-2-303(a)(vi) (1988).
FACTS: A 16-year-old girl was interviewed by the DFS and the sheriff's office at a local
high school for a report about alleged sexual abuse. After the interview, the girl was taken
to the local hospital emergency room for a medical examination. The girl then stated to the
Dr. that she had been forcibly subjected to sexual intercourse by her step father, Blake
(D), over the previous several years. At trial, neither the State nor D called the girl to
the stand but the State relied upon a typed confession, the Dr.'s testimony, and that of a
nurse who assisted the Dr. in the examination, the testimony of the DFS investigator and the
testimony by the sheriffs and the testimony of the officer who interviewed D and obtained a
confession. The jury returned a verdict of guilty and D appealed.
