ORDER
J.D., a juvenile, was found guilty of statutory sodomy in the first degree and sexual misconduct in the third degree on March 31, 2004. In the original petition J.D. was charged with having deviate sexual intercourse with R.B. in violation of Section 566.010.
As his sole point, J.D. contends that the trial court erred in finding that he had committed the offenses because there was no substantial evidence to support the judgment and it is against the weight of the evidence because of the extreme youthful age of both of the victims, the substantial delay before each victim reported the misconduct, the inconsistencies in their statements and the evidence of J.D.’s good moral character preclude a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. We find no error and affirm.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find the claims of error to be without merit. No jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum opinion for their information only, which sets forth the facts and reasons for this order.
We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 30.25.
