Description
David Camp was convicted of committing incest with his minor stepdaughter, in violation of Ark. Stat. Ann. 41-2403. He was sentenced to ten years imprisonment and a fine of $10,000. On appeal, we affirm the judgment. For reversal, Camp first argues that the trial court erred in refusing to direct a verdict of acquittal because there was no corroboration of the stepdaughter's testimony. The argument is predicated on the wording of Ark. Stat. Ann. 41-2403, reciting that a person commits incest if, being sixteen years of age or older, he purports to marry, has sexual intercourse with, or engages in deviate sexual activity with, a person he knows to be (a) an ancestor or a descendant; or (b) a stepchild or adopted child.
