GULOTTA, Judge.
Co-defendants, Joseph H. Brown and Arthur Simmons, appeal their convictions for forcible rape, a violation of LSA-R.S. 14:42.1. In identical assignments of error, both defendants contend that hearsay testimony was improperly admitted and the evidence was insufficient to find them guilty as charged. In a third assignment of error, defendant Brown contends that his sentence of thirty-five years is excessive. We affirm.
