Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Joan M. Black, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Greer and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (6 pages)
A juvenile challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his delinquency adjudication for second-degree sexual abuse, arguing that the State did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim’s allegations were true. OPINION HOLDS: The record shows that the victim was consistent in recalling that D.W. sexually abused her when she was six or seven years old. We thus find substantial evidence to support the adjudication.
