P. v. Nguyen
A jury found defendant Hoang Cong Nguyen guilty of multiple violent crimes, including assault with intent to commit rape during a burglary (Pen. Code,[1] § 220, subd. (b)) and attempted rape (§§ 21a, 664, subd. (a), 261, subd. (a)(2)). The jury also found true multiple sentencing enhancement allegations, including enhancements for great bodily injury. The trial court sentenced defendant to an aggregate term of 19 years to life in state prison.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erroneously instructed the jury regarding the infliction of great bodily injury during a sexual assault. He further contends insufficient evidence supported the great bodily injury allegation as to count 8, a claim with which we agree. He adds a claim of error in the oral pronouncement of sentence and the resulting abstract of judgment, which the People concede and with which we agree.
Our review of the record reveals an additional error that resulted in an unauthorized sentence--the trial court failed to order defendant to register as a sex offender under section 290.
We will order the judgment modified and the abstract amended accordingly. As modified, we shall affirm the judgment.
