Is there any case law in which a defendant's plea of guilty to a charge of sexual assault has been challenged for the first time on appeal?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Hodges, 990 F.2d 1263 (9th Cir. 1993):
Hodges also appears to argue for the first time on appeal that the district court failed to establish a factual basis for the plea. With some exceptions, issues not presented to the district court cannot be raised for the first time on appeal. United States v. Flores-Payon, 942 F.2d 556, 558 (9th Cir.1991). Because the issue does not fall within the exceptions to this rule, this claim is waived. See id.
