Convictions for committing a lewd act with duress, fear or force on a child under the age of 14 and aggravated sexual assault are reversed in part and affirmed in part where: 1) defendant’s counsel’s failure to object to the addition of the charge for committing a lewd act with duress, fear or force on a child under the age of 14 constituted ineffective assistance of counsel as it was an additional charge not pled in the amended complaint to which defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing; and 2) the charges in his convictions for aggravated sexual assault were effectively pleaded in the amended complaint and such convictions were lawful.
