In re T.V. CA3
A petition filed on February 24, 2015, alleged that the 12-year-old minor, T.V., came within the provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 in that he committed five counts of lewd and lascivious conduct upon eight-year-old J.H. (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)). After a contested jurisdictional hearing, the court sustained counts one, two, and three but did not sustain counts four and five. At the dispositional hearing, the court adjudged the minor a ward of the court and committed him to the care and custody of his father.
The minor appeals. He contends that insufficient evidence supports the juvenile court’s findings that the minor knew the wrongfulness of his conduct or acted with the specific intent to arouse his sexual desires. We conclude sufficient evidence supports the court’s findings and will affirm the jurisdictional order.
