Supreme Court of Delaware

Jacobs v. State

November 5, 2015

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Jacobs’s motion for judgment of acquittal because the State presented sufficient evidence for a rational jury to find him guilty of first-degree unlawful sexual contact beyond a reasonable doubt. The victim’s trial testimony and admitted prior statement established that Jacobs touched her genitalia and buttocks, and inconsistencies between those accounts were for the jury to resolve.
