IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
| IN RE GEORGE R., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. | H029676 (Santa Clara County Super. Ct. No. JV20010) |
| THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. GEORGE R., Defendant and Appellant. |
The minor, George R., appeals from a juvenile court order denying the minor's motion to withdraw his admission of violating Penal Code section 288, subdivision (a) (lewd conduct on a child under 14), and lifting the stay of the order committing the minor to the California Youth Authority (CYA). The minor contends that the court erred in denying his motion to withdraw his admission and in committing him to CYA. We disagree with both of the minor's contentions, and therefore affirm the CYA commitment order.
BACKGROUND
On September 8, 1999, a petition was filed under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602[1] against the then 11-year-old minor alleging two counts of lewd conduct on a child under 14 (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)). The petition was amended on September 23, 1999, to include both victims in count 1. The victims were the minor's younger siblings, then ages 7 and 9. The minor admitted the allegations in count 1 as amended, and count 2 was dismissed. On September 30, 1999, the juvenile court declared the minor to be a ward of the court and committed him to the care, custody and control of the probation officer for suitable placement in a highly structured therapeutic setting. The minor was placed at Trinity-Apple Valley on December 3, 1999.
On September 27, 2000, the minor was terminated from the Trinity-Apple Valley placement â€
