Description
AGID, J. -- Dale Eaton appeals his convictions for first degree rape, second degree robbery and felony harassment contending that we must reverse his convictions because the trial court failed to enter written CrR 3.5 findings of fact and conclusions of law. He also contends the trial court should have merged the felony harassment conviction with the rape conviction for sentencing purposes. Because the findings and conclusions are now part of the record and Eaton was not prejudiced by their delayed entry, they do not provide a basis for reversing his convictions. We further conclude that the trial court properly refused to merge the felony harassment and first degree rape convictions because felony harassment is not a crime the State must prove to elevate rape to a first degree felony. Eaton also challenges the trial court's requirement that as a condition of community placement he enter into and make reasonable progress in a mental health or sexual deviancy treatment program. We disagree with his contention that the trial court lacked statutory authority to order him to make reasonable progress in a treatment program and conclude that, in any event, the issue is not ripe for review. We therefore affirm both the conviction and conditions of community placement.
