Mitchell v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided February 16, 2011No. A10A2227Published

1Opinion of the Court

Adams, Judge.

Bruce Edward Mitchell was convicted by a jury of multiple counts of aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation and child molestation. He appeals, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence and the trial court’s charge to the jury. We affirm.

1. Mitchell first challenges his conviction on the aggravated sodomy counts, arguing that the State failed to prove that he perpetrated the acts of oral and anal sodomy on his three male victims, who ranged in age from seven to nine years, forcibly and against their will. See Brewer v. State, 271 Ga. 605 (523 SE2d 18) (1999).
