P. v. Martinez CA3
During a sting operation, defendant texted with a law enforcement officer who was posing as a 13-year-old girl, agreeing to give the decoy minor a ride in exchange for sexual acts. A jury found defendant guilty of contacting a minor with the intent to commit a sexual offense (Pen. Code, § 288.3, subd. (a)) and arranging a meeting with a minor for sexual contact (§ 288.4, subd. (b)).
On March 22, 2021, the trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on formal probation for five years. The trial court also verbally imposed various fines and fees, including a “fee of $100 for the preparation and completion of the presentence report,” a $300 restitution fine (§ 1202.4, subd. (b)), a suspended $300 probation revocation fine (§ 1202.45), a $300 first sex offense conviction fine (§ 290.3), two $40 court operation assessments (§ 1465.8), and two $30 court facilities assessments (Gov. Code, § 70373, subd. (a)(1)).
