        "text": "JUSTICE LUND\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nDefendant Cullen Layton Carter was convicted of aggravated criminal sexual assault (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 38, par. 12 \u2014 14(bXl)) and aggravated criminal sexual abuse (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 38, par. 12 \u2014 16(b)). The trial court sentenced defendant to 15 years\u2019 imprisonment for the aggravated criminal sexual assault charge, to be served consecutively to a six-year sentence for aggravated criminal sexual abuse. The consecutive sentence was considered mandatory, pursuant to our decision in People v. Ewald (1991), 210 Ill. App. 3d 7, 568 N.E.2d 451. Accord People v. Hough (1991), 221 Ill. App. 3d 447, 453-55, 582 N.E.2d 259, 263-64 (fifth district discussing and agreeing with rationale of Ewald).\nThe sole issue on appeal is whether the trial court was mistaken in its belief that the consecutive sentence was mandatory. Defendant cites People v. Bole (1991), 223 Ill. App. 3d 247, 585 N.E.2d 135, appeal allowed (1992), 144 Ill. 2d 636, a decision from the Second District Appellate Court, which states that consecutive sentences are mandatory only when arising from a single course of conduct. It is apparent from the facts in the present case that the convictions did not arise from a single course of conduct. The Third District Appellate Court recently agreed with Bole in People v. Dooley (1992), 227 Ill. App. 3d 1063, 1065-66, 592 N.E.2d 1112, 1114-15.\nWe elect to stay with our court\u2019s opinion in Ewald and affirm the sentence as entered by the trial court.\nAffirmed.\nKNECHT and COOK, JJ., concur.",
