P. v. Faljean CA3
Defendant John Jerome Faljean appeals his convictions for 14 sexual offenses committed against one young family member (“minor 1”) and a battery against another young family member (“minor 2”). He claims the trial court erred in admitting a compact disc (CD) containing photographs depicting fetishistic sexual acts between adults and unidentified children in sexually suggestive poses. Defense counsel did not object to the admission of this evidence, accordingly, the issue is forfeited. Anticipating this result, defendant also claims counsel’s failure to object constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. We need not determine whether defendant’s counsel was deficient because we find that defendant was not prejudiced by the admission of the CD in any event. We affirm the judgment.
