OPINION

JAMES C. BEASLEY, Special Judge.

The defendant, Robert E. West, has appealed as of right his convictions on multiple counts of aggravated rape and rape for which he received effective sentences of twenty (20) years.

Issues raised in this appeal include charges that the indictment should have been dismissed for vagueness as to times and dates and because some counts were outside the statute of limitations; that the trial court erred by limiting cross examination of the victim, and that the court erred in limiting the testimony of the defendant and two defense witnesses.
