Description
PER CURIAM: Defendant appeals from his conviction of the forcible sexual abuse 1 of his 12-year-old daughter. Trial was to the Judge without a jury, who sentenced defendant to the statutory term, but placed him on probation. The incident occurred when defendant, while watching television, asked his daughter to sit on his lap and she refused. He again requested and said he did not intend to hurt her. She obeyed and sat on his lap. Defendant placed his hand on her clothed left breast and squeezed it. She told him to stop, which he did. She immediately ran and locked herself in the bathroom, where she remained for about 15 minutes. When she came out, her father was in the bedroom on the bed. He again asked her to come over to him. At first she refused, but did so when her father repeated his request. Defendant told her to lie on top of him and she complied. The defendant then began moving his pelvis and pumped his hips against her, holding his hands on her back. The daughter told him what he was doing was wrong and to stop, but he continued his movement for a minute or so longer. She reported the incident to her mother the next day, and testified that it was difficult for her to discuss this and previous incidents when her father had abused her.
