On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.
Angela C. Dempsey, Judge.
November 1, 2019
PER CURIAM.
Appellant was convicted of three counts of sexual battery on a
child under age twelve by a person over age eighteen. We affirm
appellant’s judgments and sentences on counts one and two
without further comment.
As to the third count, we find the trial court erred in denying
appellant’s motion for judgment of acquittal because the State
failed to present evidence establishing union between appellant’s
penis and the child victim’s anus.
We thus AFFIRM appellant’s judgments and sentences on
counts one and two, REVERSE appellant’s judgment and sentence
on count three and REMAND with directions for the trial court to
adjudicate appellant guilty of the offense of battery and resentence
appellant accordingly. Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.620; State v. Harris,
