P. v. Sherwood CA1/5
Steven Sherwood was convicted of 16 sex crimes against 11 children under the age of 14 and possession of child pornography. He was sentenced to 239 years eight months in prison. He argues the trial court erred in failing to instruct on the lesser offense of attempted oral copulation as to one count. We reject the argument because there was no substantial evidence Sherwood committed an attempt rather than the completed act. He also argues his sentence is unconstitutionally disproportionate to his offenses. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
