v.

No. 20210092
Appeal from the District Court of Benson County, Northeast Judicial District,
the Honorable Lonnie Olson, Judge.

State v. Rieger
No. 20210092
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Andrew Jordan Rieger appeals from the denial of a motion of acquittal
and a criminal judgment finding him guilty of corruption of a minor, victim
over fifteen and adult over twenty-two, a class C felony under N.D.C.C. § 12.1-
20-05(2). He argues the evidence is insufficient to sustain a guilty verdict, the
minor victim is so untrustworthy that a reasonable factfinder would not credit
her testimony, and it was error for the district court to rely on another witness
for corroboration. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the
verdict, we conclude there is substantial evidence to support the verdict. We
summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
