Syllabus

Sufficient evidence manifest weight of the evidence R.C. 2317.01 due process social worker's testimony. The appellant's convictions were not against the sufficiency or the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not err when it did not hold a hearing to determine the competency of the minor victims because the statute assumes competency unless they appear incapable of receiving just impressions of the facts and transactions respecting which they are examined. The appellant was not denied due process or a fair trial when the social worker determined that the minor child's allegations were substantiated.
