Corvin v. Commonwealth

Opinion

BRAY, J.

Richard Corvin (defendant) was convicted by a jury of forcible sodomy and attempted forcible sodomy and sentenced to twenty-nine years imprisonment, with ten years suspended. He appeals and contends that (1) the victim’s failure to report the incident for fourteen months constituted unreasonable delay, rendering the victim an inherently incredible witness, and (2) the trial court improperly admitted evidence of defendant’s intimate relationship with a male defense witness which strongly suggested other criminal activity. We disagree and affirm the conviction.
