Harold T. DUKES, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 5D13-1127.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
April 17, 2014.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Ann M. Phillips, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Ap-pellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Harold T. Dukes, Jr., appeals his convictions and sentences for false imprison ment, sex trafficking, unlawfully obtaining labor or services, and forcing, compelling, or coercing another to become a prostitute. Under the facts of this ease, we agree that his convictions for both sex trafficking, a violation of section 796.045, Florida Statutes (2010), and forcing, compelling or coercing another to become a prostitute, a violation of section 796.04(1), Florida Statutes (2010), violated double jeopardy. Dukes's conviction of the lesser crime of forcing, compelling, or coercing another to become a prostitute must be vacated.
In all other respects, we affirm Dukes's convictions and sentences.
AFFIRMED in part; VACATED in part.
