Brandon Lautenbach challenges the sufficiency of evidence supporting his conviction for second-degree sexual abuse. OPINION HOLDS: When viewed in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence was sufficient for a rational factfinder to conclude that Lautenbach used force creating a substantial risk of death or serious injury. Accordingly, we affirm his conviction for second-degree sexual abuse.
