Sentencing — undue harshness — presumptive minimum sentences

Manuel Villarreal Frausto appeals a judgment of conviction for use of a computer to facilitate a child sex crime and an order denying postconviction relief. Villarreal contends that: (1) the sentencing court erred by considering a fact that satisfied an element of the offense as an aggravating factor; (2) the court erred by imposing the presumptive minimum sentence without adequate explanation; and (3) his sentence was unduly harsh in light of newly discovered evidence as to sentences received by other defendants who were convicted based on similar conduct. We reject these contentions, and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
