State v. Minyard, 231 N.C. App. 605 (Jan. 7, 2014)
In a child sex case, the court held that the evidence was sufficient to support a charge of attempted first-degree statutory sexual offense. On the issue of intent to commit the crime, the court stated: “The act of placing one’s penis on a child’s buttocks provides substantive evidence of intent to commit a first degree sexual offense, specifically anal intercourse.”
