In re Lionel M.
On March 14, 2006, the Santa Clara County District Attorney filed a petition pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 alleging that appellant Lionel M. committed two counts of indecent exposure, a misdemeanor (Pen. Code, 314, subd. 1).[1] After a contested jurisdictional hearing, the juvenile court sustained the petition as to one count and dismissed the second count. Appellant was adjudged a ward of the court and returned to the custody of his parents. He was ordered to participate in counseling and to have no contact with the victims. On appeal, appellant contends (1) there is insufficient evidence to support the finding that he violated section 314 because there is no evidence of lewd intent, and (2) there is insufficient evidence to establish that he understood the wrongfulness of his conduct. Court affirm the order.
