Syllabus

Defendant's challenge to the length of his misdemeanor sentences was moot where defendant had fully served the sentences, and the appellate court could no longer grant any meaningful relief. Defendant's conviction for sexual imposition was based on insufficient evidence where the State presented no evidence that defendant made contact with the complaining witness's penis for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification: the State expressly disclaimed its obligation to present evidence of sexual arousal or gratification at trial and the evidence presented established that, at most, defendant made contact with the complaining witness's penis for the purpose of harming, offending, or embarrassing the complaining witness, and the State conceded the error on appeal.
