1. “Although the State primarily presented evidence of a sexual assault of J.F.'s anus by Appellant with his penis, Beard [the CAC forensic interviewer] said that J.F. reported that, after Appellant had finished assaulting her, he would clean her "pee-pee" with "wipeys." Beard also testified that there were one or two instances where "[J.F.] said that it was his private in her pee-pee, but she self-corrected" to "butt." The jury could have inferred from J.F. that Appellant wiped her "pee-pee" and "butt" after he had assaulted her sexual organ and anus.”
