P. v. Barajas CA6
Defendant Jose Francisco Barajas appeals after a jury found him guilty of continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 (Pen. Code, § 288.5, subd. (a); count 1), committing a lewd or lascivious act on a child (§ 288, subd. (c)(1); count 4), and dissuading a witness (§ 136.1, subd. (b)(1); count 6). The jury also found true the allegation regarding count 1 that defendant had engaged in substantial sexual conduct with the victim (§ 1203.066, subd. (a)(8)). The jury found defendant not guilty of sexual penetration of a child under age 14 by a foreign object (§ 289, subd. (j); count 2) and was unable to reach a verdict on two counts of committing a lewd or lascivious act on a child (counts 3 & 5). The trial court sentenced defendant to 16 years in prison.
