Syllabus

Gross sexual imposition R.C. 2907.05(A)(1) endangering children R.C. 2919.22(B)(1) Crim.R. 29 R.C. 2953.08(G)(2) felony sentence R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12. Appellant's convictions for gross sexual imposition and endangering children are not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Child victims often do not remember the exact dates of assault and even though the victim told police and CCDCFS social worker that the abuse began in September or October and testified it began in December, the victim's credibility was for the jury to assess. The trial court did not err in sentencing appellant to 18 months in prison because his sentence is not contrary to law. Our review of his sentence is limited and the appellant does not claim that the trial court made considerations that fall outside the principles and purposes of sentencing.
