P. v. Castellanos
A jury found defendant Ernesto Joseph Castellanos guilty of 30 counts of committing a lewd or lascivious act upon a child under the age of 14 years. (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a).)[1] The jury found true the allegation that defendant committed lewd or lascivious acts against more than one victim. (Former § 667.61, subd. (e)(5), eff. Sept. 28, 1998.) In a prior opinion, this court vacated defendant’s original sentence and directed the trial court to resentence defendant. (People v. Castellanos (Jan. 25, 2011, E048609) [nonpub. opn.].) At the resentencing hearing, the trial court sentenced defendant to prison for an indeterminate term of 45 years to life. Defendant contends the trial court erred by sentencing him pursuant to the “One Strike†law. (§ 667.61, subd. (b).) We affirm the judgment.
