State v. Love

*794ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Charles Love (Defendant) appeals from the judgment upon his convictions for statutory rape in the first degree, Section 566.032, RSMo 2000,1 and statutory sodomy in the first degree, Section 558.016. Defendant was sentenced to two terms of twenty-five years of imprisonment, the sentences to be served concurrently. On appeal, Defendant contends the trial court erred (1) in overruling his motions for judgment of acquittal at the close of State’s evidence and again at the close of all evidence because the evidence was insufficient for a reasonable juror to find Defendant guilty of statutory rape in the first degree and statutory sodomy in the first degree, and (2) in admitting statements of the victim through the testimony of several witnesses on the grounds that the statements failed to meet the standard of admissibility pursuant to Section 491.075 and Missouri case law. We affirm.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find the claims of error to be without merit. An opinion would have no precedential value nor serve any jurisprudential purpose. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this order pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).

. Unless otherwise indicated, all other statutory references are to RSMo 2000.
