People v. Barrios-Ixolin CA1/1

I.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL

BACKGROUND

A. Background and Williamson’s Encounter with Barrios-Ixolin In early 2016, Williamson and Jonathan S. met while they were both temporarily employed at a Ghirardelli Square restaurant. They soon began dating and were in a relationship when their jobs ended that March. Although Jonathan S. found another job, Williamson did not, and she told him she had decided to engage in prostitution to make enough money that they could continue seeing each other. Jonathan S. agreed to help Williamson by driving her to the Mission District and waiting for her while she performed sex work. Throughout April and May 2016, Jonathan S. took Williamson to the Mission District approximately every other night. He would wait nearby in his car, and she would keep in touch with him by text message. Jonathan S. testified that Williamson generally charged $60 to $80 for sexual intercourse and was paid up front.

2 As a result, we need not address Barrios-Ixolin’s remaining claims that the trial court abused its discretion by imposing the upper term for the firearm enhancement and that there is an error in the abstract of judgment.
