P. v. Pence
Defendant Ronald Lee Pence pleaded no contest to two counts of committing a lewd act on a child of 14 or 15 (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (c)(1)),[1] exhibiting harmful matter to a minor (§288.2, subd. (a)), and dissuading a victim from reporting a crime (§ 136.1, subd. (b)(1)). The trial court suspended imposition of sentence, placed him on five years' formal probation and, after a contested hearing, ordered him to pay $5,365 in victim restitution. On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court abused its discretion and denied him due process because the amount the court ordered him to pay was not supported by substantial evidence. We affirm.
