In re Jason M.
Appellant Jason M. (Minor) admitted to having raped a young woman in concert with another by means of force or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury. (Pen. Code, §§ 261, 264.1, subd. (a).) Based on that admission, the juvenile court committed Minor to the custody of the Division of Juvenile Justice of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DJJ). Minor now challenges the juvenile court’s dispositional order, arguing the court abused its discretion in committing him to DJJ. He also claims his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance at the dispositional hearing. Minor further contends he should not be subject to sex offender registration requirements and residency restrictions when he is discharged or paroled from DJJ. Finally, he argues the record does not reflect that the juvenile court considered the individual circumstances of his case in determining his term of confinement.
We find none of Minor’s contentions persuasive. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment.
