In 2012, she was living in Riverside County with family members and in foster homes.Just before her 10th birthday, defendant drove from Nevada to California to pick T.C. up at her foster home, then brought her back to Nevada to stay with him and C.R., her half-sister.A few days after her arrival, defendant put his finger in T.C.'s vagina.He continued putting his finger in her vagina during the rest of her trip.At the end of the trip, defendant drove her back to Riverside County.

Defendant testified that he knew C.R. had terminated a pregnancy and that DNA analysis of the fetal tissue proved he was the father—but claimed he never had sexual intercourse with C.R.Rather, C.R. artificially inseminated herself with defendant's sperm so child support services would remove her from his custody and give her financial support for college.
