Paul J. Warren Missouri Cases

Paul Warren was convicted of second-degree statutory sodomy, second-degree statutory rape, and two counts of incest involving his younger sister. On appeal, Warren challenged the admissibility of the state's expert witness testimony regarding delayed disclosure of intrafamilial sexual abuse and the propriety of her testimony about treating the victim. He also argued his sentences exceeded the statutory maximum. The appellate court affirmed the convictions, finding no abuse of discretion in admitting the expert testimony, but reversed and remanded for resentencing on the statutory sodomy and rape counts because the original sentences exceeded the legal maximum.
