P. v. Beightol
A jury convicted Larry Gene Beightol of two counts of committing a lewd act with a child (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (a)), and found true an allegation that he committed the offenses against more than one victim (Pen. Code, 667.61, subd. (e)(5)). The court sentenced Beightol to a term of 15 years to life in prison for each of counts 1 and 2, with the sentence on count 2 to run concurrently. On appeal, Beightol contends the court abused its discretion by admitting evidence of his prior acts of molestation under Evidence Code sections 1108 and 1101 to prove his propensity to commit sex crimes and his intent during the present offenses. Court affirm.
