P. v. Arzola CA4/1
Andres Rosales Arzola pleaded no contest to two counts of committing a forcible lewd act upon a child under 14 years of age under Penal Code section 288. The court sentenced him to 20 years in state prison. It ordered him to pay the victim, Jane Doe, $150,000 in restitution for noneconomic damages under Penal Code section 1202.4, subdivision (f)(3)(F). Arzola's sole contention on appeal is that the court abused its discretion by failing to find facts, cite to reliable evidence, or establish the basis for its calculation of the award. We agree and therefore reverse.
