Description
Defendant Jesus Laguna Cortes appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court found him guilty of aggravated sexual assault--forcible rape--of a child, continuous sexual abuse of a child, and causing a child pain or suffering. (Pen. Code, §§ 261, 269, 273a, subd. (a), 288.5, subd. (a).) *fn1 On appeal, defendant claims the court erred in admitting his statements to police because he did not waive his Miranda *fn2 rights. He claims the separate conviction for aggravated sexual assault must be reversed because (1) there is insufficient evidence it occurred outside the period of continuous sexual abuse and (2) the prosecutor could not properly charge a separate offense that occurred one day after the alleged period of continuous sexual abuse. Last, he claims there is insufficient evidence he caused the victim pain or suffering likely to produce great bodily injury.
