FAIR, J.,
FOR THE COURT:
¶ 1. George Lomax was convicted of the sexual battery of Abby, 1 a sixteen-year-old student at the high school where Lomax was assistant principal. Lomax was accused of ordering the girl to an unoccupied room, where he instructed her to remove her clothes and had sex with her. The victim reported the incident a short time later, and Y-DNA consistent with Lomax’s was found in her underwear. Lomax was convicted, and he appeals, challenging the trial court’s decisions on jury selection and evidentiary issues. We find no error and affirm.
