PER CURIAM.

We affirm appellant’s conviction for burglary and sexual battery, but ‍‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‍reverse the sentences and remand for resentencing. The trial court stated three specific grounds for departure from the sentencing guidelines and several ‍‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‍additional grounds appear in the body of the Order for Aggravation of Sentence. One of the stated grounds is invalid: “that the ‍‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‍defendant perjured himself during his testimony.” The state has not shown beyond a reasonable doubt that the absence of this invalid ‍‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‍reason would not have affected the departure sentence. Albritton v. State, 476 So.2d 158 (Fla.1985). We remand for reconsideration of the sentence without taking into ‍‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‍account the purported perjury.

HERSEY, C.J., and HURLEY and DELL, JJ., concur.
