Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We see in [the] statutory background [of P.C. § 288(c)(1) ] a legislative desire to protect 14- and 15-year-olds from predatory older adults to the same extent children under 14 are protected by subdivision (a) of [P.C.] section 288.... Both subdivisions (a) and (c)(1) of [P.C.] section 288 are directed at protecting infants, children and those in their early teens from sexual exploitation by adults.”
