P. v. Simental
A jury found defendant Gilbert Simental guilty of three counts of lewd and lascivious acts upon a child under the age of 14. (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (a).) The jury also found true that defendant committed the offense against multiple victims within the meaning of Penal Code section 667.61, subdivision (e)(5). Defendant was sentenced to three consecutive terms of 15 years to life. Defendants sole contention on appeal is that the trial courts failure to exclude his admissions to his church elders violated the penitential communication privilege. Court reject this contention and affirm the judgment.
