Syllabus

In this case, the Supreme Court considered whether unlawful sexual contact is a lesser included offense of sexual assault. Because establishing the elements of sexual assault by means of penetration necessarily establishes the elements of unlawful sexual contact, the Court concluded that unlawful sexual contact is a lesser included offense of sexual assault. Accordingly, the Court reversed the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remanded the case with instructions to vacate defendant's conviction for unlawful sexual contact.
