People v. Childs

Defendant was convicted, after stipulated bench trial, of attempt (aggravated criminal sexual assault) and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment. Court properly concluded that State did not need to prove that Defendant intended to inflict bodily harm upon victim, as long as State proved that he intended to commit a sexual assault upon victim and, in the process, inflicted bodily harm upon her. Stipulated evidence showed that Defendant punched victim repeatedly until she acquiesced to his sexual demands. Drug-court fee and children's-advocacy-center fee are both mandatory fines which can be imposed only by court, not by circuit clerk. (KNECHT and McCULLOUGH, concurring.)
