PER CURIAM Defendant Gerald Wilson appeals from his convictions for first-degree aggravated sexual assault, N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2(a)(2)(c) (count one); second-degree child endangerment, N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4(a) (count two); two counts of third- degree witness tampering, N.J.S.A. 2C:28-5(a)(1) (counts three and four); two counts of third-degree terroristic threats, N.J.S.A. 2C:12-3(b) (counts five and six); second-degree sexual assault, N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2(c)(1) (count seven); third- degree criminal restraint, N.J.S.A. 2C:13-2(a) (count eight); and second-degree kidnapping, N.J.S.A. 2C:13-1(b) (count nine).
