Johncox v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided November 7, 1988No. 76536PublishedCited by 8 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Beasley, Judge.

Johncox appeals his convictions for child molestation, OCGA § 16-6-4 (a), and aggravated child molestation, OCGA § 16-6-4 (c), for two acts committed upon his nine-year-old adopted daughter, his wife’s child. He was found guilty but mentally ill.

1. In his first enumeration, defendant argues that the two offenses, alleged to have occurred on the same day, merged. OCGA § 16- 1-7 (a). This issue, however, was not presented below and no objection was made to the sentences imposed. Thus, there is nothing for us to review. Hill v. State, 183 Ga. App. 654, 657 (4) (360 SE2d 4) (1987)…
