Description
After Harlan G. Wilson pleaded guilty to communicating with a minor for an immoral purpose, second degree assault, and failing to register as a sex offender, the court imposed an exceptional sentence by running his 60-month presumptive range sentence for communicating with a minor for an immoral purpose consecutively with his 57-month presumptive range sentence for second degree assault. Wilson appeals his 117-month sentence, contending as follows: (1) the court's stated reasons for imposing an exceptional sentence the seriousness of the victim's injuries, a prior unscored misdemeanor for failing to register as a sex offender, and the operation of the multiple offenses policy of RCW 9.94A.400 are not legally adequate and are not supported by the record; (2) RCW 9.94A.120 and RCW 9.94A.390, the statutes authorizing exceptional sentences, are unconstitutionally vague as applied to him; and (3) the seriousness of the victim's injuries aggravating factor, which Wilson likens to the conduct more egregious than typical aggravating factor, infringes upon his right to appeal the exceptional sentence, his right to equal protection under the law, and his right to due process of law.*fn1 We reject these contentions and affirm Wilson's exceptional sentence.
