Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying appellant's post-sentence motion to withdraw his guilty plea to one count of rape and eight counts of pandering sexually-oriented material involving a minor where his claims could have been raised on direct appeal to this court and were therefore barred by res judicata. Even if his claims were not barred by res judicata, appellant failed to establish a reasonable likelihood that a withdrawal of his plea was necessary to correct a manifest injustice.
