Appellant Alfred Carl Moon, Jr., was convicted by a jury of two counts of lewd conduct with a child under the age of 14 years (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)), two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse (Pen. Code, § 261.5), and one count of molesting a child under the age of 18 (Pen. Code, § 647a). The principal issue in this appeal is whether, in light of People v. Tassell (1984) 36 Cal.3d 77 [ 201 Cal.Rptr. 567 , 679 P.2d 1 ], the trial court erred in admitting evidence of several prior, not remote uncharged sexual offenses committed by appellant against the three prosecuting witnesses, to prove his disposition or intent toward each of those victims. We conclude that notwithstanding Tassell , the court did not err, and affirm the judgment.
