California Court of Appeal

Conviction and sentence for lewd conduct with a child, unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and additional related offenses are affirmed over claims that: 1) the victim's testimony was inherently improbable and, therefore, not sufficient to sustain a verdict of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; and 2) imposition of the upper term sentence for count one violated his federal due process and jury trial rights.
