    "head_matter": "STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA v. CHARLES THOMAS VAWTERS\nNo. 7521SC235\n(Filed 18 June 1975)\n\u2018 Appeal by defendant from Albright, Judge. Judgment entered 16 January 1975 in Superior Court, Forsyth County. Heard in the Court of Appeals 13 May 1975.\nDefendant was charged in a bill of indictment, proper in form, with the felony of assault with intent to commit rape.\nThe State\u2019s evidence tends to show the following: During the evening of 12 July 1974 Robin Kiger, age 12, went to her sister\u2019s home. Her friend, Sunday Norman, age 9, went with her. When Robin and Sunday knocked on the door, no one answered. However, the door was unlocked and they went in. Robin\u2019s sister was not at home. Defendant and a companion were in the house drinking an alcoholic beverage. Defendant grabbed Robin, threw her to the floor, partially disrobed her, and tried to have sexual intercourse with her. Robin fought, screamed, and resisted defendant, and he was unable to accomplish his purpose. Robin finally escaped and ran from the house.\nThe defendant\u2019s evidence tended to show the following: Robin\u2019s sister and husband went to the movie and left defendant and his companion in their house. Defendant and his companion were drinking alcoholic beverages. Robin does not remember what happened that night and testified against him only at the connivance of her father.\nThe jury returned a verdict of guilty as charged.\nAttorney General Edmisteh, by Assistant Attorney General Myron C. Banks, for the State.'\nHamrick, Doughton and Newton, by James A. Harrill, Jr., for the defendant."
