State v. Norman

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine·Decided January 15, 1985·Published

Opinion

MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

Harold F. Norman appeals from his conviction in Superior Court, Cumberland County, of gross sexual misconduct, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 253(1)(B), and unlawful sexual contact, § 255(1)(C). He contends that the evidence was insufficient to support his [161]*161conviction. This -case is governed by our recent decision in State v. Decesere, 451 A.2d 636 (Me.1982), wherein we held that the essentially uncorroborated testimony of a young child victim, if not contradictory, unreasonable, or incredible is sufficient to sustain a verdict. Upon careful review of this record, we cannot say that no finder of fact could rationally have found the defendant guilty.
