Criminal Procedure – Ineffective assistance

Montgomery Walker appeals a judgment of conviction for first-degree sexual assault (intercourse) of a child under twelve, and an order denying postconviction relief. Walker argues his trial counsel did not properly inform him of the definition of sexual intercourse prior to trial, and but for counsel’s alleged errors he would have accepted the State’s offer to plead to second-degree sexual assault of a child, which lacked the mandatory minimum twenty-five years’ initial incarceration. Walker also claims the circuit court erred by denying counsel’s motion to withdraw. We reject Walker’s arguments and affirm.

Affirmed.

This opinion will not be published.
