No. 87-293 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | Feb 4, 1988

PER CURIAM.

Appellant’s convictions of five counts of lewd and lascivious assault under section 800.04(1), Florida Statutes, are affirmed. However, the trial court's written reasons for entering a departure sentence, which include abuse of trust by a teacher, the victims’ psychological trauma, and the inappropriateness of the guidelines sentence, are not clear and convincing.
