The opinion
MANFORD, Presiding Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the results reached by the majority opinion relative to the issue of the victim’s competency to testify and the issue that the jury should have been instructed as to a lesser included offense of sexual misconduct.
Upon the third issue respecting the admission into evidence of appellant’s oral confession, I am dubitante.
