PER CURIAM.

Harold T. Dukes, Jr., appeals his convictions and sentences for false imprison[*882] 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),[1] 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.

ORFINGER, BERGER and WALLIS, JJ., concur.
