Description
Appellant Lawton Frederick Tyson a/k/a Lawton F. Tyson appeals from his convictions on one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child under the age of fourteen and five counts of sexual assault of a child under the age of seventeen. In three points, he contends that the trial court reversibly erred by permitting the State to amend the indictment on the day of trial, by granting the State's motion to cumulate the sentences for each count and each offense, and by charging the jury on counts two through five of the sexual assault offense in the disjunctive. In a fourth point, he contends that his constitutional protection against double jeopardy was violated by being convicted and punished consecutively for offenses occurring in the same criminal episode that constitute a single offense. We affirm as to the aggravated sexual assault and as to count one of the sexual assault, but we reverse and remand for a new trial on counts two through five of the sexual assault.
