DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA
SECOND DISTRICT
ROBERT RAY BRYANT,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
No. 2D20-3555
February 23, 2022
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk County; Michael P.
McDaniel, Judge.
Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Karen M. Kinney,
Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee and William C.
Shelhart, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.
KELLY, Judge.
Robert Ray Bryant appeals his conviction and sentence for
sexual battery. We affirm his conviction and sentence without
discussion. However, the monetary obligations order contains
errors that must be corrected. Specifically, the order contains a
duplicate charge of $100 for costs of prosecution and a charge of
$151 for the "CAC/GAL Trust Fund (Crimes Against Minors)," a cost
that does not apply in this case because the victim was not a minor.
See Gonzalez v. State, 40 So. 3d 60, 62 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010)
(reversing a fee imposed for crimes against minors because the
victim was not a minor). We remand the monetary order and direct
the trial court to strike the improper charges.
Affirmed; remanded with instructions.
VILLANTI and LABRIT, JJ., Concur.
