P. v. Knight CA1/1
Following a bench trial, defendant Alfredo Knight was found guilty of sexual battery by restraint (Pen. Code, § 243.4, subd. (a)), and lewd or lascivious conduct with a minor § 288, subd. (a)). He was sentenced to a total term of four years in state prison. He appeals from the judgment, arguing (1) his jury trial waiver was invalid, (2) the trial court did not have jurisdiction over the sexual battery charge because defendant and the victim are Native Americans and the crime occurred on an Indian reservation, (3) the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for sexual battery by restraint, and (4) he is entitled to a new sentencing hearing. We affirm.
