Description

This is an appeal from the Marion Criminal Court, Div. 2, where the appellant was tried without a jury by Judge Saul I. Rabb. Appellant was found guilty as charged of the crime of rape and was sentenced to the Indiana State Reformatory for not less than two (2) nor more than twenty-one (21) years. Appellant first argues that the finding of the court is not sustained by sufficient evidence. However, a review of the testimony of the victim of the rape indicates that there was sufficient evidence to convict the defendant. Under Indiana law, a conviction for rape may be based solely on the testimony of the victim. Grimm v. State (1970), 254 Ind. 150, 258 N.E.2d 407; Woods v. State (1968), 250 Ind. 132, 235 N.E.2d 479. According to the victim, she knew the defendant and got in his automobile on July 18, 1968, for the purpose of going to see the defendant's cousin, Mark. After seeing Mark, however, the defendant and the victim returned to his car. The defendant proceeded to drive to some back roads and then, over's the victim's objections and struggles, had intercourse with her. He then drove her home.
