P. v. Dement CA4/1
A jury convicted defendant Donald Virgil Dement of four counts of lewd or lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14, in violation of Penal Code section 288, subdivision (a) — two counts involving Doe 1, and two counts involving Doe 2.
As to Doe 1, Dement argues that the record does not contain substantial evidence that he touched Doe 1 with the requisite intent to arouse, appeal to or gratify his or Doe 1's lust, passions or sexual desires. As to Doe 2, Dement acknowledges that the record contains substantial evidence that he inappropriately touched her, but argues that the record does not contain substantial evidence to support convictions of two separate completed crimes. Because Dement did not meet his burden of establishing reversible error as to either conviction, we affirm the judgment in its entirety.
