A Gwinnett County jury convicted Marcos Tulio Lopez of two counts of child molestation, and the trial court denied his motion for new trial. On appeal, Lopez contends that the trial court erred by denying his motion for a directed verdict of acquittal; responding improperly to a question the jury asked during their deliberations; authorizing the replay of the videotaped police interview of the victim after the jury began deliberating; and allowing the state to ask the child victim leading questions. Finding no error, we affirm. 1. A person is guilty of child molestation “when he or she does any immoral or indecent act to or in the presence of or with any child under the age of 16 years with the intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of either the child or the person.” OCGA § 16-6-4 a. Here, Count 2 of the indictment alleged that Lopez committed child molestation upon the victim “by touching her vagina with his penis.”1 Count 3 alleged that Lopez committed child molestation upon the victim “by kissing her on the mouth.” Contending that there was insufficient evidence to convict him on these two counts, Lopez asserts that the trial court should have granted his motion for directed verdict of acquittal. On appeal, the standard of review for denial of a motion for directed verdict is the same as that for determining the sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction. The evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, and the defendant no longer enjoys the presumption of innocence; moreover, an appellate court does not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility but only determines whether the evidence is sufficient under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979. Conflicts in the testimony of the witnesses, including the State’s witnesses, are a matter of credibility 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 jury’s verdict will be upheld.

Viewed in this light, the trial record shows that the seventeen-year-old appellant and the six-year-old victim were cousins. On May 10, 2003, appellant was visiting the residence of the victim and her parents. That afternoon, the victim’s mother decided to go shopping while the victim’s father was upstairs taking a shower. When the mother left, the victim was alone with appellant in the downstairs kitchen getting ice cream.
