Description
ELLETT, Chief Justice: This case is before this Court on an appeal from a conviction of forcible sexual abuse. Testimony at trial revealed the following facts: Two six-year old girls returned a lost dog to the appellant who tied the
dog on his porch, gave the girls some sunflower seeds and hugged one of them. While she was playing with some kittens, the
appellant picked up the other girl, hugged her, kissed her, and then put his finger down the front of her pants and rubbed
it between her legs. She reported the incident to her mother. The appellant was subsequently arrested, tried, and convicted
before a jury. He now appeals claiming that the lower court erred by refusing to give the requested instructions to the jury
as to (1) the appellant's good character, and (2) a cautionary instruction concerning the uncorroborated testimony of the
young victim.
