1. ““According to one of the victims, appellants abducted the victim in Jefferson County and took her to Oldham County where they forced her to have sexual intercourse with them. KRS 452.550 provides: ‘Where an offense is committed partly in one and partly in another county, or if acts and their effects constituting an offense occur in different counties, the prosecution may be in either county in which any of such acts occurs.’ (Emphasis added.) The initial abduction was a sequential part of carrying out the purpose of having carnal knowledge of their victim. Accordingly venue was in either Jefferson County or Oldham County.””
