A jury found Giulio Romani guilty of aggravated child molestation and child molestation for acts committed upon his four-year-old daughter. Romani appeals from the denial of his motion for new trial, alleging that the trial court erred in i improperly admitting evidence under the child hearsay statute, and ii preventing the testimony of one of his witnesses by erroneously dismissing the witness’ interpreter. We find no error and affirm. 1. We first address Romani’s claim that the trial court erred in admitting evidence pursuant to the child hearsay statute without making a finding that “the child understood the difference between truth and falsehood.” OCGA § 24-3-16 provides that: A statement made by a child under the age of 14 years describing any act of sexual contact or physical abuse performed with or on the child by another or performed with or on another in the presence of the child is admissible in evidence by the testimony of the person or persons to whom made if the child is available to testify in the proceedings and the court finds that the circumstances of the statement provide sufficient indicia of reliability. Here, the state introduced the victim’s statements through testimony given by her mother, nurse practitioners who examined the victim, a social worker who met with the victim, police investigators who interviewed the victim, and an acquaintance of Romani and the victim’s mother. Romani failed to object to the introduction of any of this evidence. As a result, his claim that the evidence was improperly admitted pursuant to the child hearsay statute was not preserved for appellate review.1
Even if it were otherwise, Romani’s claim would present no grounds for reversal because the trial court need not make an express finding that the circumstances of the statement at issue provide sufficient indicia of reliability before admitting the statement, as this statutory requirement is met if after both parties have rested, the record contains evidence which would support such a finding.2 Here, the record contains evidence that i the victim made several spontaneous disclosures regarding acts committed upon her by Romani; ii according to an expert, the victim’s disclosures were made using age-appropriate language and did not appear to be coached by an adult; iii the victim’s videotaped statements were consistent with statements she had made to her mother and therapist; iv such statements were made in a neutral location outside the presence of the victim’s mother; and v the statements were made without the presence of threats or the promise of benefits. Based on the numerous indicia of reliability, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the child hearsay evidence pursuant to OCGA § 24-3-16.3
