P. v. Jones
A jury found defendant Jay Michael Jones guilty of six counts of child molestation and sustained five allegations of substantial sexual conduct; it acquitted him of a seventh molestation count. The trial court sustained recidivist allegations.
The trial court sentenced defendant to state prison for 31 years. As is pertinent to this appeal, it also imposed one fine of $300 under Penal Code section 290.3 (the sex offender fine), among the assessments on which (totaling $840) was a $90 penalty assessment under Government Code section 76104.7 (the DNA penalty assessment). It then imposed an administrative fee of 15 percent for the collection of the restitution it had ordered. This was in accordance with the recommendations of the probation report.
