Perry v. Commonwealth of Virginia - Double Jeopardy Affirmed

The Virginia Court of Appeals affirmed Perry's convictions for three counts of indecent liberties with a child and one count of aggravated sexual battery, rejecting his double jeopardy claim. The court held each indecent liberty act was a discrete unit of prosecution under Virginia Code § 18.2-370(A). Perry also challenged the trial court's recall of the victim and sufficiency of evidence for aggravated sexual battery—both claims were rejected.
