On the 26th day of September, 2005, the defendant, STEVEN JAMES SITLER, defendant’s counsel, Dean Wullenwaber, and the State’s attorney, William W. Thompson, Jr., appeared before this Court for pronouncement of judgment.

At that time the defendant was again advised that a Criminal Information had been filed charging the defendant with the felony offense of LEWD CONDUCT WITH A MINOR UNDER SIXTEEN YEARS OF AGE, Idaho Code 18-1508, committed between the months of September, 2003, and March, 2005, and that on July 7, 2005, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to such charge which plea was accepted by the Court.

The Court, having considered the Pre-sentence Investigation Report, the evidence, if any, of circumstances in aggravation and in mitigation of punishment, the arguments of counsel and any statement of the defendant, asked the defendant if he had any legal cause to show why judgment should not be pronounced at this time to which defendant replied that there was none.
