Syllabus

The trial court did not err by adjudicating appellant delinquent for committing rape. Appellant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel are without merit appellant fails to show that counsel's allegedly deficient conduct with respect to the State's plea offer prejudiced him, and appellant fails to show that the cumulative effect of counsel's allegedly deficient conduct constituted ineffective assistance. The trial court's limitation of appellant's cross-examination of the victim was not prejudicial the testimony sought was given in response to other questions. Lastly, the adjudication was not against the manifest weight of the evidence, because the evidence supported a finding that the sexual conduct was compelled by force. Judgment affirmed.
