The Second Appellate District affirmed a judgment. The court held that use of CALCRIM No. 1120 properly advised the jury that any willful touching of a child accomplished with the intent to sexually arouse either the perpetrator or the child constituted lewd and lascivious conduct, regardless of whether or not the touching was done in a lewd or sexual manner.
Jimmy Sigala was charged with multiple counts of continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 years, in violation of Penal Code §288.5(a). At trial, four of Sigala’s granddaughters testified to molestations by Sigala. Nude and/or sexually explicit photographs taken by Sigala of his granddaughters were introduced into evidence.
