Description
The defendant was charged by an information filed against him in Sacramento County with five separate crimes consisting of lascivious acts perpetrated, or attempted to be perpetrated, upon two 13-year-old boys. The first two counts charged violations on different dates of section 288 of the Penal Code, by lewd and lascivious acts performed on defendants stepson, Howard Thompson. The third count charged defendant with a similar offense performed on April 19, 1946, upon Joe Urrutia. The fourth count charged the defendant with attempting to perpetrate the crime prohibited by section 288a of the Penal Code, upon his stepson. The fifth count charged him with attempting to perform the last-mentioned crime upon Joe Urrutia. The cause was tried by the court sitting without a jury. The defendant was acquitted of the charges contained in the first and fourth counts. The court, however, found him to be guilty of the second, third and fifth counts. The defendant was sentenced upon the last-mentioned three counts to imprisonment in state prison at San Quentin for the terms prescribed by law, said sentences to run concurrently. A motion for new trial was denied. From the judgment and the order denying a new trial the defendant has appealed.
