Heading: evidence proving aggravated burglary

Text: The third issue we must address is whether there was sufficient evidence to support Rudolph's aggravated burglary conviction. He argues that the marshaled evidence does not establish that he had the intent to commit a sexual assault when he entered the victim's home. However, under our construction of the remaining unlawfully provision of section 76-6-202(1), he committed burglary if he formed the intent to commit a sexual assault either at the time he entered the victim's home or at any time thereafter while he remained there unlawfully. Thus the evidence that he forced the victim to disrobe at knife point, forced her to have oral sex, and forced her to have intercourse was more than sufficient to prove that he had the requisite intent. On this basis, we conclude that the evidence adduced at Rudolph's third trial was sufficient to support his aggravated burglary conviction.
