PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. EVANDER, COHEN and WALLIS, JJ., concur.
Our affirmance of Appellant's conviction on Count III is based on this court's recent decision in Roughton v. State, 92 So. 3d 284 (Fla. 5th DCA 2012) (convictions for sexual battery and lewd or lascivious molestation did not violate prohibition against double jeopardy even though convictions arose from same act).
