State v. Latham

MURPHY, Judge.

James Michael Latham, Jr. ("Defendant") appeals from two sex offense convictions under N.C.G.S. § 14-27.4(a)(1)1 (first-degree sex offense with a child) and N.C.G.S. § 14-202.1 (indecent liberties with a child). Defendant argues the trial court erroneously admitted hearsay testimony under North Carolina Evidence Rule 803(4). Defendant also argues the trial court erred by admitting the testimony of one expert and two lay witnesses because that testimony improperly vouched for the credibility of the minor victim in this case. For the reasons that follow, we find no error.
