Advice and Comments

PC 220

Bad plea. Even without 1 year, assault with intent to rape might be treated as attempted rape, an AF regardless of sentence.

If 1 yr or more is required, see 459/460(a) or (b) or 236/237; if that is not possible, see 243.4 or 207. If a strike is needed, one can plead to 136.1(b)(1) consecutive (with 8 months imposed) and avoid an AF.
