Criminal Procedure – ineffective assistance

APPEAL from a judgment and an order of the circuit court for Winnebago County: KAREN L. SEIFERT, Judge. Affirmed.

Kenneth C. Hahn appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of second-degree sexual assault of a child and from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Hahn alleges that trial counsel provided ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to (1) adequately impeach the victim, (2) object to the improper bolstering of her testimony, (3) introduce an audio tape of Hahn’s interview, and (4) object to the trial court’s response to a jury question. Hahn further contends that the trial court erred in ruling that trial counsel could not ask the victim certain questions on cross-examination. Because we conclude that trial counsel’s performance was not deficient and the trial court did not err, we affirm.

PER CURIAM.
