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

Text: Reviewing the evidence that Clark raped the five-year-old female, we hold that the evidence was more than sufficient. The five-year old specifically testified that Ron hurt me and that he touched her in a bad place. She also indicated that Clark had touched her between her legs with his tongue. In addition, Dr. Hill's testimony revealed that the five-year-old had a healing scar and an abnormal mound or rolled edge on her hymen as well as chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease, all of which are consistent with sexual abuse. The four-year-old was more detailed in her testimony regarding Clark's rape of her five-year-old sister: Q. Did you ever see him touch [her]? A. (Affirmative nod.) Q. What did you see him do to [her]? A. Sticked the screwdriver in her private part. Q. And, is her private part the same place yours is? A. Yes. . . . . . Q. When he touched [her], did he touch her with anything else? A. Nail. Q. And, where did he touch her with the nail? A. (Witness points.) Q. Did he ever touch her with any part of his body? A. His tongue. Q. Where did he put his tongue? A. (Witness points.)
