Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sexual Abuse
Defendant was convicted of criminal sexual abuse, unlawful restraint, and battery. Defendant's conduct consisted of multiple separate physical acts that took place in an abandoned house. Each of the countless but separate acts of physical contact with victim constitutes an overt or outward manifestation that supports a different; thus, Defendant committed multiple physical acts, not a single act. Thus, convictions do not violate the one-act, one-crime rule. (HOLDRIDGE and McDADE, concurring.)
