What are the consequences of a conviction for multiple sexual assault convictions?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Vasser, H045603 (Cal. App. 2019):

provides for the longest potential term of imprisonment, but in no case shall the act or omission be punished under more than one provision." This section prohibits multiple punishments for a single physical act that violates different provisions of law. (People v. Jones (2012) 54 Cal.4th 350, 358 (Jones).) Under this rule, a trial court may not impose concurrent terms for multiple convictions based on the same act; rather, one or more terms must be stayed. (Id. at p. 353.)
