Justice: 
GORDON

Defendant, age 17 at time of offense, was convicted, after bench trial, of 1 count of predatory criminal sexual assault as to 12-year-old victim. Sentence of 10 years is not cruel, unusual, or disproportionate. Counsel was not ineffective for not moving to dismiss on speedy-trial grounds when there was no speedy-trial violation. Statute governing predatory criminal sexual assault was not unconstitutional as applied to Defendant. (BURKE and McBRIDE, concurring.)
