¶1R.P. was charged and convicted in juvenile court on two counts of indecent liberties arising from two separate incidents involving a female junior high school classmate. His petition for review relates only to the first count, and argues that there was insufficient evidence that R.P. engaged in sexual contact. This count arose from an incident on or about March 26, 1991, in which R.P. allegedly picked up, hugged and kissed his classmate after track practice. During the course of events, he eventually placed what is commonly referred to as a "hickey" or "passion mark" on her right neck area.
¶2We affirm the Court of Appeals decision in all respects but one. After examining the record and the facts of this case, we find that there was insufficient evidence of sexual contact to sustain count 1 (indecent liberties). We reverse R.P.'s conviction on that count.
