P. v. Orellana
A jury found Angel Jose Orellana guilty of one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child, four counts of forcible lewd act upon a child, two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, two counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object, and one count of forcible oral copulation. Orellana appeals, arguing that there was insufficient evidence that he used force, fear, or duress in all but one count, and that his convictions of two counts of aggravated sexual assault on a child must be reversed, as he was also convicted of continuous sexual abuse. We conclude that the evidence of force, fear, or duress was sufficient to support the jury’s verdict. We reverse and remand to the trial court to dismiss the count alleging continuous sexual abuse and to resentence Orellana accordingly. In all other respects, we affirm his conviction.
