PER CURIAM

¶1Defendant appeals his convictions for two counts of first-degree sodomy, ORS 163.405, and eight counts of first-degree sexual abuse, ORS 163.427. He assigns error to the trial court instructing the jury that first-degree sexual abuse is a lesser-included offense of first-degree sodomy. The state concedes that the trial court erred in instructing the jury that first-degree sexual abuse is a lesser-included offense of first-degree sodomy. We accept the state’s concession. We affirm in part and reverse in part.

¶2At the time of the trial, State v. Dilts, 28 Or App 393, 396, 559 P2d 1326 (1977), held that sexual abuse was a lesser-included offense of rape because “sexual contact is implicit in” rape. After the trial in this case, we decided State v. Spring, 172 Or App 508, 21 P3d 657 (2001). There, we held that Diltshad been superseded by the enactment of ORS 161.067(1). Spring, 172 Or App at 513. We further held that sexual abuse did not have the same elements as rape. Id. at 514. The same analysis applies to whether sexual abuse is a lesser-included offense of sodomy. The offense of sexual abuse requires touching for the purpose of arousing or gratifying the sexual desire of either party. ORS 163.305(6). The offense of sodomy requires deviate sexual intercourse and does not require proof of arousal or gratification of the sexual desire of either party. ORS 163.305(1). As a result, the trial court erred in instructing the jury.

¶3Convictions for two counts of first-degree sodomy affirmed; convictions for eight counts of first-degree sexual abuse reversed; remanded for resentencing.
