Opinion

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 20, 1984.

Child molestation. Cobb Superior Court. Before Judge Hines.

Nicholas E. Bakatsas, for appellant.

Thomas J. Charron, District Attorney, Debra H. Bernes, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.

BANKE, Presiding Judge.

The defendant appeals his conviction of three counts of child molestation. Held:

1. The court did not err in excluding evidence that the defendant had offered to take a polygraph examination. See Durham v. State, 240 Ga. 203 (3) ( 240 S.E.2d 14) (1977).

2. The evidence was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find the defendant guilty of all three offenses beyond a reasonable doubt. See generally Crawford v. State, 245 Ga. 89 ( 263 S.E.2d 131) (1980).

Judgment affirmed. Pope and Benham, JJ., concur.

BANKE, Presiding Judge.
