Description
Richard Langton was convicted of two counts of first-degree sexual assault of his eleven-year-old stepdaughter. On each count he received a sentence of ten years with four years suspended, to be served concurrently. He appeals his sentence claiming that it is excessive. We affirm. John Doe was convicted of one count of first-degree sexual assault of his four-year-old son. He received a suspended sentence of five years and was placed on probation for five years on the condition that he undergo psychiatric evaluation and counseling. The state appeals this sentence charging that it is too lenient. We agree that Does sentence is too lenient and we find that it is clearly mistaken. See State v. Lancaster, 550 P.2d 1257, 1260 (Alaska 1976). We are not authorized to increase the sentence, but we may disapprove it. AS 12.55.120(b). Melvin Joe was also convicted of sexual assault in the first degree on the two-year-old son of an acquaintance for which he received a sentence of twenty years imprisonment. He appeals, contending that the sentence is excessive. We agree and remand Joes case for resentencing.
