Description
A jury convicted Galen G. Robertson of attempted aggravated sexual abuse (Count I) and attempted abusive sexual contact (Count II) in Indian country, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2241(a)(1), 2244(a)(1) and 1153. Robertson argues that the district court abused its discretion in granting the Government a continuance on the eve of trial, plainly erred in admitting hearsay evidence, improperly instructed the jury, and erred in denying his motion for judgment of acquittal. He also argues that his being convicted of both offenses violates the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment. We affirm Robertsons conviction on Count I, reverse Robertsons conviction on Count II, and remand to the district court with instructions to vacate Robertsons conviction and sentence on Count II.
