Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

A jury found defendant guilty of kidnapping in violation of Minn. St. 609.25, aggravated rape in violation of § 609.291, and indecent liberties *519in violation of § 609.296. An examination of the record indicates ample evidence to sustain the jury’s verdict. The weight and credibility of disputed evidence is properly determined by the jury. State v. Darrow, 287 Minn. 230, 177 N. W. 2d 778 (1970).

Affirmed.
