40. He remains convicted of that

He remains convicted of the more serious charge.

This article buries that fact, in an attempt to make it appear that the guy is walking.

What the various technical definitions are of these various charges is beside the point.

Do you know that in a lot states, for example, there's no crime called "rape"?

There are various categories of sexual assault. This guy was convicted and remains convicted on the most serious charge of sexual abuse of a minor. The dispute over some lesser charge was or was not technically correct, is like arguing over the parking ticket you got while you were robbing the bank.

Even that charge is going to be retried, but the guy was convicted of exactly what he did, and isn't going anywhere.
