Talton v. State

Ray, Judge.

Bryan Taitón was charged in a 13-count criminal indictment, and after a bench trial, he was convicted of two counts of statutory rape (OCGA § 16-6-3), four counts of child molestation (OCGA § 16-6-4 (a)), and three counts of aggravated child molestation (OCGA § 16-6-4 (c)).1 He appeals from his conviction and sentence, and from the denial of his motions for new trial, alleging that he did not knowingly, *10voluntarily, and intelligently waive his right to a jury trial, and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
