Miles v. Texas (original by judge johnson)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Kojuan Miles was convicted of the sexual assault and compelled prostitution of a fifteen-year-old complainant. The jury assessed punishment at seven and twenty-three years’ incarceration respectively. The trial court cumulated the sentences. On appeal, the court of appeals affirmed judgment in the sexual-assault case, but modified the judgment in the compelling-prostitution case to delete the cumulation order and affirmed that judgment as modified. On direct appeal, appellant argued the trial court erred by ordering him to serve his sentences consecutively and contended that the cumulation statute did not authorize stacking a sentence for compelling prostitution onto a sentence for sexual assault of a child when both offenses arose from the same criminal episode and are prosecuted in a single criminal action. Finding no error in the appellate court’s revision of the trial court’s sentence, the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed.
