Existing law generally imposes an additional and consecutive term of 3 years imprisonment in the state prison on a person who personally inflicts great bodily injury on a person in the commission of a felony. Existing law imposes a 5-year enhancement on the sentence of a person who inflicts great bodily injury during the commission of a rape if the act was committed by use of force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the person or another, or if the act was accomplished against the victim's will by threatening to retaliate in the future against the victim or another person. The 5-year enhancement also applies if the victim was not the perpetrator's spouse and was prevented from resisting by any intoxicating or anesthetic substance, or a controlled substance.
