Deen, Presiding Judge,
concurring specially.
Appellant contends the victim’s father kept a barrel full of pornographic material and girlie magazines in his shop. He claims that the magazines he had were on loan and came from those in the barrel. It was pointed out further that the victim’s mother brought about a banning or burning of the barrel of books.
Statements made to an investigator indicate that the magazines stimulated him and the children. “I asked him what brought all these occurrences on, and he mentioned the fact of some magazines.” The children were thus expected and required to masturbate him in the shower and other places, and he rubbed his organs up against them until he reached a climax.
While concurring fully with the majority opinion, additional stress should be laid upon the connecting link of the magazines and the influence of the latter modus operandi on the commission of the *878crime. Howell v. State, 172 Ga. App. 805 (324 SE2d 754) (1984); Megar v. State, 144 Ga. App. 564, 568 (241 SE2d 447) (1978).
Decided September 10, 1985.
William S. Hardman, for appellant.
Bruce L. Udolf, District Attorney, Deborah S. Wilbanks, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.
