Syllabus

The trial court convicted defendant of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, trafficking in persons, promoting prostitution and compelling prostitution. The convictions were supported by sufficient evidence and are not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The verdicts are not inconsistent and there is no evidence of prosecutorial misconduct. The trial court did err in failing to merge the trafficking in persons convictions with promoting prostitution and compelling prostitution convictions, and this matter should be remanded for resentencing. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed in part and reversed in part.
