158 Ga. App. 91

Opinion

61475.

DECIDED MARCH 20, 1981.

Rape. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Williams.

Stanley H. Nylen, for appellant.

Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Joseph J. Drolet, J. Wallace Speed, Margaret V. Lines, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.

SHULMAN, Presiding Judge.

Defendant appeals his conviction of rape. We affirm.

Defendant's sole enumeration of error is on the general grounds. "The victim's testimony that the accused had raped her, coupled with medical evidence and testimony concerning the victim's actions and demeanor following the rape, was sufficient evidence to authorize the conviction." Moore v. State, 151 Ga. App. 100 (1) ( 258 S.E.2d 915). The verdict is therefore not subject to attack on the general grounds. See also Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560).

Judgment affirmed. Birdsong and Sognier, JJ., concur.
