John A. Pollard v. State Texas

The sufficiency of the evidence is not challenged; therefore, only a brief recitation of the facts is necessary. The record reflects that the appellant forced Mrs. D[*] R[*] S[*] s car to the side of the road and then forced Mrs. S[*] and her two-year-old daughter into his own car. Appellant drove to an isolated area near Killeen where he ordered Mrs. S[*] to disrobe. Appellant then forced Mrs. S[*$to submit to sexual intercourse by threats that something would happen to her child. Mrs. S[*] testified that after appellant raped her she saw the lights of an approaching car. Appellant was startled by the lights and began to drive away so Mrs. S[*] grabbed her child and ran toward the approaching car which was a Killeen police vehicle. The police officer came to Mrs. S[*] s aid and radioed for assistance in apprehending appellant.
