Heading: The evidence presented at trial was sufficient to support conviction.

Text: Schoenwetter argues that there was not sufficient evidence to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence, this Court must accept the evidence and the inferences the jury may have drawn from the evidence to support the verdict. State v. Herrald, 269 N.W.2d 776 (S.D.1978). The verdict will not be set aside if the evidence and the reasonable inferences drawn therefrom sustain a rational theory of guilt. State v. Ree, 331 N.W.2d 557 (S.D.1983). Considering the testimony of the mother, victim and the tape, there is sufficient evidence in the record to sustain a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Affirmed. WUEST, C.J., and MORGAN, SABERS and MILLER, JJ., concur.
