concluding that the trial court did not err in applying enhancement factor (7) when the defendant “treated his daughter as if she were his girlfriend”
concluding that jury’s verdict should not have been set aside when the indictment charged rape by fellatio but victim testified to a different sexual penetration
holding “an indictment is not fatal merely due to inclusion of unnecessary prolix or surplusage words”
applying this factor where Defendant treated his daughter as if she were his girlfriend by wanting her to enjoy their sexual encounters and instructing her to participate by moaning and acting aroused
