Dear PAO,

I saw the news about a case involving X, who faces accusations of sexual abuse. It appears that although only one complaint was filed by the prosecutor, X is charged with two crimes within the same complaint. A foreign friend said that such a practice is prohibited in their country. Do we have the same "rule"? I'm seeking clarity on our laws because I'm concerned about fairness for X in this situation. Is there a remedy available to him?
