STATE OF OREGON, RESPONDENT, v. THOMAS EVAN PEED, APPELLANT.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Josephine County. 97CR0115 Allan H. Coon, Judge.

Mary M. Reese, Deputy Public Defender, argued the cause for appellant. With her on the brief was David E. Groom, Public Defender.

Ann Farmer Kelley, Assistant Attorney General, argued the cause for respondent. With her on the brief were Hardy Myers, Attorney General, and Michael d. Reynolds, Solicitor General.

Before Edmonds, Presiding Judge, and Armstrong, Judge, and Ceniceros, Senior Judge.

Per Curiam

Defendant appeals his convictions for several sexual crimes. On appeal, he demurs, for the first time, to counts 1 and 2 on the ground that the indictment fails to state a crime. See State v. Young, 161 Or App 507, 509-12, 985 P.2d 835 (1999), rev den 329 Or 590 (2000) (a defendant may demur to the indictment, for failure to state a crime, for the first time on appeal). The state concedes error, and we agree.

Defendant's other arguments do not require discussion.

Judgments of conviction and sentence on counts 1 and 2 reversed; otherwise affirmed.
