Siggins, J.
Defendant Julius W. Lewis was convicted by a jury of five counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)), *206 and was sentenced to 29 years to life in prison. 1 One count involved conduct with Angelina B. in 2006 or 2007, and the other four involved conduct with Teresa C. in August, September, and October of 1989. Lewis was ordered to pay over $1.5 million in victim restitution to Angelina and Teresa. He disputes the convictions and the restitution awards.
We affirm the convictions. Lewis argues that the convictions as to Teresa must be reversed because they were barred by the statute of limitations, or because his right to due process was violated due to the delayed prosecution. In the published portion of this opinion, we reject these arguments.
In the unpublished portion of this opinion, we reject Lewis’s argument that the conviction as to Angelina must be reversed because the court erred when it excluded evidence that allegedly concerned her credibility. We also explain the reasons for our conclusions with respect to Lewis’s arguments concerning restitution to the victims.
