P. v. Gonzalez
A jury found Carlos Cruz Gonzalez guilty of two counts of Penal Code section 288, subdivision (a)[1] by willfully touching a minor “with the intent of arousing, appealing to, or gratifying [his or the minor’s] lust, passions, or sexual desires†between March 1, 2011 and April 28, 20011. The trial court denied his motions for a new trial and his requests the court waive section 290 registration and to reduce the felony convictions to misdemeanors. The court granted Gonzalez formal probation for five years under various terms and conditions, including one year of incarceration in the county jail. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to prove he twice touched the minor with lewd intent during the relevant time period. We affirm.
