P. v. Silva
Defendant Efren Feliciano Silva sexually assaulted R.G. on her fourth birthday and on two prior occasions. He was convicted of numerous sex crimes as a result of these assaults. He appeals, claiming the evidence is insufficient to support the jurys finding of the use of force, violence, menace, fear, and/or duress in one count. In addition, he argues the trial court was not aware of its sentencing discretion and erred in imposing consecutive sentences or, alternatively, his counsel was ineffective in failing to object to the imposition of consecutive sentences. Appellant also claims and respondent concedes the evidence was not sufficient to support the trial courts order requiring defendant to reimburse the county for the services of appointed counsel and was insufficient to support the order requiring defendant to pay for the cost of the sexual assault examination. With the exception of these concessions, Court will affirm.
