Description
[3 WashApp Page 378] Larry Wampler was convicted of raping a Norwegian airline stewardess. Defendant Wampler and his two companions all testified
that the prosecuting witness offered no resistance to their advances, made no outcry, and willingly consented to acts of sexual
intercourse. The defendant's account of a bland and tranquil evening with a consensual relationship existing between the stewardess
and [3 WashApp Page 379] the defendant and his companions was sharply disputed by the prosecuting witness. She admitted visiting
several First Avenue taverns with a young Danish airline steward who had arrived in Seattle that afternoon, but claims her
harrowing experience began when she and her companion accepted Larry Wampler's offer to drive them back to the Olympic Hotel
where the airline crew was staying. Instead of stopping at the hotel as was planned, she told of being transported at high
speeds on the Seattle-Tacoma freeway to a wooded area near Renton where a struggle took place between herself, her escort,
and her three assailants. Her companion described the struggle and testified how he eluded his abductors, leaped out of the
moving car, escaped into the woods and ran to a nearby dwelling to call the police. The prosecuting witness related in graphic
detail the brutality and animal lust displayed by her assailants, so that if her testimony is to be believed this statement
from State v. Goebel, 36 Wash. 2d 367, 380, 218 P.2d 300 (1950), fits the defendant, "[T]o describe him as a beast is to libel
the entire animal kingdom."
