Description

Following a non-jury trial before Superior Court Judge Eben Lewis, Francis Colgan was convicted of three counts of sexual abuse of a minor, in violation of former AS 11.41.440(a)(2). The offenses are class C felonies. Colgan appeals, arguing that the superior court erred in allowing the state to present expert testimony to corroborate the truthfulness of the testimony given by the alleged victims. Colgan also asserts that the trial court did not apply the correct mental element for the offense. Finally, Colgan challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction on two of the three counts. We remand.
