Jamey Robert Page, Petitioner v. the People of the State of Colorado, Respondent

Summary

The court held that unlawful sexual contact is a lesser included offense of sexual assault by means of penetration because proving the greater offense necessarily proves the elements of the lesser offense. The court therefore concluded that the convictions merge and reversed the court of appeals’ judgment, directing that the unlawful-sexual-contact conviction be vacated. No separate opinions were filed.
