Heading: Sufficiency of evidence of rape of four-year-old.

Text: During her testimony, the five-year-old also discussed Clark's rape of her four-year-old sister: Q. And, when you saw him touch [her], was it in a good or a bad place? A. Bad place. . . . . . Q. Did [she] have her clothes on? A. (negative nod) In addition, the four-year-old described Clark's rape of her, explaining: Q. Did anything ever bad happen to you when you were living with Ron? A. (Affirmative nod.) Q. What happened to you? A. Sticked this screwdriver in my private part. We have held that the testimony of the victim which shows penetration is enough for conviction. Jackson v. State, 290 Ark. 375, 720 S.W.2d 282 (1986). Although the victim's testimony need not be corroborated Jackson, supra , we have the four- and five-year-old's testimony corroborating each other's testimony. Clark makes much of the inconsistencies in the older girls' testimony regarding whether their clothing was on or off when he was allegedly raping them. Inconsistencies in the testimony are for the jury to resolve. Curtis v. State, 301 Ark. 208, 783 S.W.2d 47 (1990). Clearly, this evidence is sufficient to support the rape convictions.
