• affirming vacatur of six of the defendant’s eight sexual assault convictions where he committed only two distinct sexual assaults
• remanding the matter “for sentencing on the second conviction because sentencing is a necessary component of a judgment of conviction”
• finding six of eight aggravated criminal sexual assault convictions were properly vacated where the defendant committed only two acts of criminal sexual assault: vaginal and oral penetration
• two acts of criminal sexual assault upon same victim occurring with little or no break between were not one physical act
