Reed v. State

BUFORD, J.:

From a conviction of the offense of assault with intent to rape the accused brings his appeal here for review of the judgment.

The only question presented is the sufficiency of the evidence.

It is contended that the evidence is insufficient to establish that at the time of the assault the accused entertained the intent to have sexual intercourse with the victim by force and against her will.

The intent of the accused may be found from a consideration of all surrounding circumstances. That is, it may be shown by circumstantial evidence. See Hunter v. State, 29 Fla. 486, 10 Sou. 730.
