| Topic: | Sexual battery - Sufficiency of evidence |
| Summary of the Facts: | Rashad Quarles was found guilty of attempted sexual battery of a female minor. He was sentenced to ten years. He appeals. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Quarles argues that the State failed to prove that he had attempted to sexually penetrate the victim, because he abandoned his attempt. There was sufficient testimony from the victim and a witness for the jury to find that Quarles did attempt to engage in sexual battery, either through his attempts at oral sex or his failed attempt at sexual penetration. |
