ELDER, Judge.

On December 9,1993, a jury convicted James Lloyd Jenkins (appellant) of aggravated sexual battery, in violation of Code § 18.2-67.3. On appeal to this Court, appellant contended: (1) that juror misconduct violated his constitutional right to a fair and impartial trial; (2) that the trial court erred in allowing expert testimony on an ultimate fact in issue; (3) that the trial court erred in allowing the expert witness to testify to a hearsay statement made by the sexually abused child; and (4) that the evidence was insufficient to prove his conviction.
