Bethel, Judge. Dianell Michael Tezeno appeals[1] from the trial court’s denial of his motion for a new trial after a jury convicted him on two counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of sodomy, one count of enticing a child for indecent purposes, and one count of solicitation of sodomy. On appeal, Tezeno enumerates three errors. First, Tezeno argues that there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions for enticing a child for indecent purposes and solicitation of sodomy. Second, he argues that his trial counsel was ineffective in several regards, namely in failing to obtain records relating to a State witness’s prior felony conviction that could have been used for impeachment, failing to challenge testimony regarding Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome (CSAAS) offered by a State expert, and failing to obtain evidence that could have been used to impeach State witnesses who offered similar transaction evidence against Tezeno. Finally, he argues that the trial court erred by allowing the State to introduce certain similar transactions evidence at trial. We hold that the evidence presented by the State was sufficient to support Tezeno’s convictions for enticing a child for indecent purposes and for solicitation of sodomy. However, we find that Tezeno received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial. We therefore vacate his convictions on all counts of the indictment and remand this matter to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. We do not reach his final enumeration of error.On appeal, the defendant “is no longer presumed innocent and all of the evidence is to be viewed in the light most favorable to the jury verdict.” Batten v. State, 295 Ga. 442, 443 (1) (761 SE2d 70) (2014). So viewed, the evidence shows that the victim in this case met and became friends with Tezeno, who was his neighbor. The victim visited Tezeno’s house weekly, often with his siblings and other children in the neighborhood, and performed paid yard work for Tezeno. At trial, the victim testified that, on one occasion, he approached Tezeno and told him that he needed money. The victim offered to allow Tezeno to perform oral sex on him in exchange for money. Tezeno accepted this offer. Several days later, the victim came to Tezeno’s house and allowed Tezeno to perform oral sex on him in the bedroom. Tezeno gave the victim money the following day. The victim testified that a similar incident occurred about a week later when the victim again needed money. The victim was 14 years old at the time of the incidents, and he testified that Tezeno was aware of the victim’s birthday and that he knew how old the victim was and what grade he was in at school.Several days later, on January 12, 2010, the victim complained of a stomach ache, and his mother took him to the emergency room. While there, the victim also complained of painful urination. While he was awaiting treatment, the victim sent a text message to his mother that said “Mike did something to me.” The mother had previously asked the victim if Tezeno had “done something to him,” but the victim denied that anything had happened. After further questioning by his mother, the victim indicated that Tezeno “gave him oral sex” on one occasion at Tezeno’s home. While still at the hospital, the victim also told a police officer that an adult had performed oral sex on him. The victim also told his treating physician that “Michael” was the person who had performed oral sex on him.A police investigator with the special victims unit testified regarding a follow-up interview she conducted with the victim after he reported the incidents with Tezeno. The investigator indicated that the victim told her that originally the suspect offered him or solicited to him if he ever needed money he could perform oral sex on him for money. I believe he said several days later he was willing to participate with that, and he said — he told the suspect he wanted to do a run, the “run,” which means he wanted to do the oral sex for money. He said it happened twice. The first time he got $15. The second time I just remember him saying he didn’t get the money. I’m not sure if the suspect promised him money or not, I just remember him saying he didn’t get the money. He said the two incidents happened within a few days apart, and it happened while he was on break from Christmas, at school. He was on Christmas break.
