California Court of Appeal

Defendant's convictions for sexual battery by fraud are: 1) reversed in part, where the evidence is lacking with respect to two of the victims because those women clearly knew defendant's actions were sexually motivated, so as to those particular victims, the appropriate remedy is to reduce defendant's convictions to the lesser included offense of misdemeanor sexual battery, which necessitates a remand for resentencing; but 2) in all other respects, affirmed.
