CARDINE, Justice.

Appellant Walter Joe Brown was convicted of incest in May 1986 based in significant part upon the testimony of his daughter (MCX) who was the victim of the incest. That conviction was affirmed on appeal. Brown v. State, 736 P.2d 1110 (Wyo.1987). Brown’s motion for new trial was premised *820on new evidence in the form of a recantation by MCX. At the hearing on the motion for new trial, MCX testified that she lied at her father’s original trial. The district court found that the recantation was not credible and denied the motion for new trial.

We affirm.
