What is Gang / Rape in Concert in California?

Gang rape is formally referred to as rape in concert in California. This crime is committed when multiple people work together to commit rape and sexual assault. 

There are two ways that someone can be charged with gang rape under California Penal Code 264.1:

  • Actually committing a rape or sexual assault with the assistance of someone else
  • Aiding and abetting another who commits a rape through force or violence

Aiding and abetting is essentially assisting someone to commit a crime. The formal elements of aiding and abetting under California law are:

  1. The defendant
  2. Knew the perpetrator intended to commit a crime
  3. The defendant intended to assist before or during the crime
  4. Through words or actions the defendant did actually assist in the commission of the crime

264.1 PC, gang rape, can only be charged if a rape occurred as defined in other rape statutes. The main rape statute is 261 PC, which has many provisions. The basic definition of rape is engaging in sexual intercourse with another without their consent. 

A lack of consent can occur in many ways, including the use of force to have sexual intercourse, intoxication, state of sleep or unconsciousness, fraudulent misrepresentation, threats, duress, and other means.
