LEHENY v. STATE

No. CR 91-180.

818 S.W.2d 236 (1991)

307 Ark. 29

Robert Vincent LEHENY, Appellant, v. STATE of Arkansas, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Arkansas.

October 21, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Scott Emerson, Jonesboro, for appellant.

Sandy Moll, Asst. Atty. Gen., Little Rock, for appellee.


CORBIN, Justice.

Appellant, Robert V. Leheny, argues for reversal of his conviction of endangering the welfare of a minor in the second degree. His primary allegation of error is that the charge was improper because the offense of endangering the welfare of a minor was not intended to encompass allegations of sexual misconduct. We agree. Accordingly, we reverse on statutory construction grounds, and we will not address appellant's other arguments for reversal.
