Syllabus

The State adduced sufficient evidence at trial to support appellant's convictions for three counts of rape, seven counts of sexual battery, two counts of gross sexual imposition, two counts of kidnapping, one count of aggravated burglary, and four counts of interfering with civil rights. His convictions also were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Appellant's convictions for kidnapping and rape with respect to two of the victims were not subject to merger because they were committed with a separate animus. Appellant's convictions for kidnapping and interfering with civil rights with respect to two of the victims were not subject to merger because they were committed with a separate animus. Judgment affirmed.
