Description

Defendant was charged and convicted in a bench trial of two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child. He was thereafter sentenced to a statutory minimum mandatory sentence of three years to life on each count, both terms to run concurrently. Defendant has appealed on the ground that there was insufficient evidence to prove that he was an adult when he committed the offenses. He also raises four additional points on appeal: first, that the trial court erred in excluding the testimony of two defense witnesses; second, that the trial court erred in allowing certain witnesses to testify to out-of-court statements by the victims; third, that the prosecutor improperly led the victim witnesses in direct examination; and, fourth, that the court erred in not granting the defense motion for a new trial. We reverse on the ground of insufficiency of the evidence.
