The defendant, Michael Lynn Poston, appeals his White County Criminal Court jury conviction of aggravated sexual battery claiming that (1) the trial court erred by denying his motion for recusal; (2) the trial court erred by denying his motion for change of venue; (3) the trial court erred by failing to swear the victim prior to her testimony; (4) the trial court erred by admitting certain hearsay testimony; (5) the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction; and (6) the sentence was excessive.  Discerning no error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
