Following a jury trial, Arthur Payne was found guilty of aggravated child molestation Count I and child molestation Count II. Payne appeals from the judgment of conviction and the sentence entered thereon. In his sole enumeration of error, Payne challenges the sufficiency of the evidence. Finding no error, we affirm. On appeal from a criminal 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, is 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. The testimony of a single witness is generally sufficient to establish a fact. Citations, footnotes, and punctuation omitted. Phagan v. State , 243 Ga. App. 568, 569-570 2 533 SE2d 757 2000. Payne was charged in Count I with aggravated child molestation for an act of sodomy in that he “touched the victim’s anus with his penis with the intent to arouse and satisfy the sexual desires of the accused.” Count II charged Payne with child molestation by “grabbing the victim’s buttocks with his hand with the intent to arouse and satisfy the sexual desires of the accused.” The evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict showed that Payne lived with the victim, her siblings, and her mother. The victim, who was ten-years-old at the time of trial, testified that one day when her mother was at work and her oldest brother was out, Payne called her into the bedroom he shared with her mother, shut and locked the bedroom door, pushed her onto the bed so that she was laying with her stomach on the mattress, took her pants off, placed his penis on her “bottom,” and made “moving” motions. Upon her oldest brother’s return, the victim made an outcry to both of her brothers, even though Payne had threatened to harm her family if she told. The victim’s oldest brother immediately contacted the mother at work, and the police were called. The victim further testified to a previous occasion when Payne came into her bedroom during the night and attempted to touch her in an inappropriate manner.
Detective J. D. Smith of the Gwinnett County Police Department testified that he interviewed the victim and her two brothers separately. Detective Smith testified that the victim told him that Payne called her into the bedroom, grabbed her buttocks, took off her pants, pushed her face down onto the bed, and tried to insert his penis into her anus. The victim’s statement to Detective Smith was recorded on an audio tape and played for the jury.
