Description
Defendant, a psychologist, appeals his jury convictions on four counts of second degree criminal sexual penetration (CSP II) and five counts of third degree criminal sexual penetration (CSP III). The indictment charged that defendant committed CSP II or CSP III on three adult patients. The trial court granted defendant's motion for a separate trial with respect to each victim and the embezzlement charge. The state elected to proceed on counts of CSP II and CSP III involving only one of the victims. Although defendant raises twelve issues on appeal, his essential challenges to his convictions are based on seven basic arguments, one of which is that no crime was committed under New Mexico law. We hold that defendant's conduct did not constitute the crimes of CSP II or CSP III and reverse the convictions, with instructions that the criminal charges be dismissed and defendant discharged. Because of our disposition, we need not address defendant's other issues.
