Following a hearing, Anthony Paleveda entered a plea of guilty pursuant to North Carolina v. Alford 1 to enticing a child for indecent purposes 2 (Count 2) and a non-negotiated guilty plea to two counts of child molestation 3 (Counts 3 and 4). 4 Pursuant to OCGA § 17-10-6.2, 5 Paleveda was sentenced to fifteen years, to serve ten in confinement and the balance on probation, on each of Counts 2, 3, and 4, with the sentences to be served concurrently. Paleveda appeals, challenging the constitutionality of OCGA §§ 16-6-5 and 17-10-6.2. Careful review of the record and of the transcript of the guilty plea hearing in this case reveals, however, that constitutional objections to these Code sections were not raised at any time prior to this appeal nor were they ruled upon by the trial court. “It is well settled that such questions must be raised at the first opportunity and cannot be raised for the first time in this [CJourt.” 6 Accordingly, because this claim was not raised and ruled upon in the trial court, it has not been preserved for appellate review. 7

Judgment affirmed.
