1Opinion of the Court

Ellington, Judge.

A Carroll County jury found Robert Gunn guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of two counts of child molestation, OCGA § 16-6-4; and three counts of sexual battery, OCGA § 16-6-22.1 (b). Following the denial of his motion for a new trial, Gunn appeals, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence with regard to one count of each offense and contending that the trial court abused its discretion in admitting evidence of a similar transaction and that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. For the reasons explained below, we affirm the judgment in part and vacate in part.
