P. v. Cabrera CA1/1
Defendant Juan Cabrera appeals after he was found guilty of having sexually abused his girlfriend’s daughter. A jury found him guilty on 15 of 16 counts involving the commission of lewd and lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14, including acts accomplished by use of duress (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (b)(1)). The trial court sentenced him to 75 years in state prison. Defendant contends the court improperly admitted expert testimony on Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome, and argues insufficiency of the evidence as to some of the section 288, subdivision (b)(1) counts. He also asserts that his sentence is cruel and unusual under the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution. We affirm, but modify the judgment to award defendant conduct credit for presentence confinement.
