Opinion

KLEIN, P. J.

Defendant and appellant Thomas Dunnahoo (Dunnahoo) appeals from a judgment following conviction by a jury of two counts of child molestation (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)) and two counts of orally copulating a person under the age of fourteen (Pen. Code, § 288a, subd. (c)). The information charged the offenses occurred between February 9 and August 8, 1980. Dunnahoo was sentenced to eight years in prison.

We have concluded that Dunnahoo had a fair trial under the circumstances of this case, and we therefore affirm the conviction with a sentence modification.
