Description
Defendant was convicted in November of 1982 of sexual abuse in the first degree and sentenced to five years probation. The following July, a formal report of a violation of probation was submitted to County Court accusing defendant of making sexual advances toward his eight-year-old niece. A written statement from the child was attached to the report. At the hearing on the probation violation, the court questioned the child and determined that she did not understand the nature of an oath but that she was competent to testify. The child then gave testimony as an unsworn witness. The remaining prosecution witnesses consisted of the childs mother and maternal grandmother, who related the childs complaint following the last of the incidents described in her statement. Defendant chose not to testify. At the conclusion of the hearing, the court found that defendant had violated his probation by sexually abusing the child. At an adjourned date, defendant was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the Fulton County Jail and continued on probation.
