MYERS, P.J., for the Court.

¶ 1. James Roy Grimes appeals his conviction in the Circuit Court of Washington County of statutory rape and sentence of twenty years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Grimes argues that the trial court erred in admitting hearsay testimony under the "tender years" exception and that the jury's verdict was against the overwhelming weight of the evidence. Finding no error, we affirm.
