WILSON V. STATE
288 So.2d 480 (1974)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction of sodomy.
FACTS: D and others were charged with sodomy in violation of a Florida statute. Ds and
their victim were prison inmates. The victim was threatened at knife point after an initial
beating and forced to submit to sexual copulation per anum. Ds were found guilty and
sentenced. Between their adjudication of guilt and the subsequent appeal, the statute under
which they were convicted was ruled void for vagueness and uncertainty in its language. Ds
convictions were reversed and then the case was remanded for further proceedings under
another Florida statute on charges of rape and forcible carnal knowledge; but that statute
specifically covered females only. This appeal was taken.
