OPINION

DALLY, Judge.

This is an appeal from a conviction for aggravated kidnapping. The punishment is imprisonment for twenty years.

The appellant contends that: the evidence is insufficient to sustain his conviction; the indictment is fundamentally defective; the court’s charge to the jury contains fundamental error.

The indictment alleges, in pertinent part, that appellant

“on or about January 21, 1978, did then and there unlawfully, intentionally, and knowingly abduct PAUL DOUGLAS DAVENPORT, JR., hereafter styled the complainant, with the intent to violate and abuse the complainant sexually.”
