1Opinion of the Court

Andrews, Judge.

Alejandro Castaneda was found guilty by a jury of aggravated' sexual battery and two counts of child molestation. On appeal, he claims that the evidence was insufficient to support the guilty verdict for aggravated sexual battery, and that his conviction for the offense of aggravated sexual battery merged with his conviction for molesting the child in connection with that offense.
