SABERS, Justice.

[¶ 1.] Kasey L. Onken was prosecuted for five counts of criminal pedophilia and, in the alternative, five counts of sexual contact with a child under sixteen. He was found guilty of one count of sexual contact with a child under sixteen. During trial, Onken questioned witnesses about V.B., a witness the defense believed did not exist, and discovered that V.B. does in fact exist. Onken requested a continuance for time to interview V.B. to gather potential exculpatory evidence in support of his defense. His request was denied. Onken appeals. We affirm.
