State v. Eddy
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of multiple counts of serious sex offenses perpetrated against his four-year-old granddaughter. The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s convictions, holding (1) the State presented sufficient evidence to prove that Defendant penetrated the child victim’s labia with his finger, which would support the sexual intercourse element of rape; and (2) the district court did not err by denying Defendant’s request to have a psychological evaluation performed on the victim, as Defendant failed to establish any valid reason that would support a finding of compelling circumstances to warrant a psychological examination of the sex abuse victim in this case.
