A Bartow County jury found Neil Moe guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of aggravated child molestation, OCGA § 16-6-4 c; and three counts of child molestation, OCGA § 16-6-4 a. Following the denial of his motion for a new trial, Moe appeals, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence and claiming that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Finding no error, we affirm. 1. In challenging the sufficiency of the evidence, Moe contends that the testimony of the victim and of an eyewitness was inconclusive and contradictory. Moe also contends that the physical evidence was inconclusive. On appeal from a criminal conviction, however, the appellate court views the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict and an appellant no longer enjoys the presumption of innocence. The appellate court determines whether the evidence is sufficient under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979, and does not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility. Any conflicts or inconsistencies in the evidence are for the jury to resolve. As long as there is some competent evidence, even though contradicted, to support each fact necessary to make out the State’s case, the appellate court must uphold the jury’s verdict. Citations omitted. Rankin v. State , 278 Ga. 704, 705 606 SE2d 269 2004. After thoroughly reviewing the record, we conclude that the evidence authorized the jury to find Moe guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of aggravated child molestation and child molestation, as alleged in the indictment. Ferrell v. State , 256 Ga. App. 692, 694 1 569 SE2d 899 2002. Specifically, the testimony of the 13-year-old victim provided evidence that, beginning on November 19, 2003, she was with Moe for a day and a night, partly in the hotel room he shared with another man, and that Moe repeatedly injected her with methamphetamine and engaged in a series of sexual acts with her, including showing her a pornographic videotape, fondling her breasts, licking her genital area, and having intercourse with her. In addition, Moe’s roommate testified that he was with Moe and the victim in the hotel room and saw the victim performing oral sex on Moe.
It is true, as Moe contends, that the victim’s testimony failed to account for all of the two-day period she was absent from home and was vague as to some of the places they went together. Furthermore, a doctor examined the victim two days after the alleged molestation and found no evidence of vaginal trauma, and no semen was found in the victim’s vagina, on her skin, on her clothes, or in Moe’s hotel room. While such evidence may have corroborated the victim’s testimony, there is no requirement that the testimony of a victim of child molestation be corroborated. Ferrell v. State , 256 Ga. App. at 694 1. It was the jury’s role to weigh the evidence that was presented, in light of any gaps or inconsistencies in the evidence. Rankin v. State , 278 Ga. at 705. Because Moe’s arguments go to the weight, rather than to the sufficiency, of the evidence, he presents no basis for reversing his convictions. Id.
