Parker v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant was tried before a jury and found guilty of the offenses of sodomy and sexual exploitation of children. He appeals from the judgments of conviction and sentences entered on the jury’s verdicts.
Appellant enumerates only the general grounds. The evidence, construed most strongly in favor of the guilty verdict, shows the following: The victim testified that he and a friend were driven by appellant to appellant’s house where a party was being held. A witness for the State testified that he had been hired to videotape the party. At the party, the victim and appellant’s roommate engaged in an act of sodomy on a couch in the living room. Their sexual activity was videotaped. The victim testified that appellant had actively participated in the videotaping of the act of sodomy. The victim explained that appellant had stood “beside the cameraman telling him what to do” and had held the light for the camera during the taping. The cameraman testified that it was appellant who had accepted, delivery of a final copy of the tape. The victim testified that he had performed sexual acts with appellant in return for money and gifts on several occasions prior to the night of the party.
Appellant urges that the evidence shows only his presence at the
