P. v. Delgado
A jury convicted Jaime Ayala Delgado of two counts of committing a lewd and lascivious act upon a child under the age of 14 (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a))[1] and found true that he committed felony sex offenses against multiple victims (§ 667.61, subd. (e)(5)).[2] Defendant argues the trial court erred in a number of respects when it sentenced him, consecutively rather than concurrently, to a determinate term of six years on the substantive charges and an indeterminate term of 15 years to life on the multiple-victim enhancement. As discussed below, we conclude that the trial court intended to and did sentence defendant to consecutive terms. However, because the trial court expressed a belief that it had no discretion to impose concurrent terms, we order a limited remand so the trial court can exercise its discretion on whether to impose the terms concurrently or consecutively.
