People v. Graves

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Evidence established Defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The minor victim's statements to her parents and during the CAC (child advocacy center) interview were sufficient to establish that Defendant committed an act of sexual conduct. Court did not err in denying Defendant's motion for directed verdict after State rested its case for the first time. Jury instruction given satisfied requirements of section 115-10(c) of Code of Criminal Procedure and complied with Illinois pattern jury instruction. (BARBERIS and WHARTON, concurring.)
