Syllabus

Evid.R. 807 child statements in abuse cases Evid. R. 803 other acts evidence hearsay manifest weight sentencing. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing testimony pursuant to the hearsay exception enumerated in Evid.R. 807. We will not consider whether statements are in contravention of Evid.R. 803(4) when the appellant did not make a specific objection at trial and did not reference which statements he was challenging on appeal. The appellant's conviction for gross sexual imposition is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The appellant was not sentenced to consecutive sentences because the trial court merged his convictions and imposed a single sentence.
