1Opinion of the Court

Carley, Presiding Judge.

After a jury trial, appellant was found guilty, but mentally retarded on five counts of child molestation and two counts of aggravated child molestation. See OCGA § 17-7-131 (b) (1) (E). He appeals from the judgments of conviction and sentences entered by the trial court on the jury’s guilty verdicts.

1. Appellant enumerates as error the admission into evidence of an inculpatory statement which he gave to investigating officers.

It does not appear that, at the time the statement was given, appellant was in custody. See Vaughn v. State, 261 Ga. 686, 687 (2) (410 SE2d 108)…
