S.E.2d 365 (2006)] as Cline did here for nearly eight years.” Conn v. State, 300 Ga.App. 193, 685 S.E.2d 745 (September 23, 2009). Act of masturbating in front of two small girls was sufficiently similar to kissing and licking four-year-old’s nipples, genitals and buttocks. “See Williams v. State, 263 Ga. App. 22, 24 (2) (587 S.E.2d 187) (2003) (court properly admitted similar transaction evidence; defendant's prior act of rubbing his 11-year-old daughter's bottom over clothing was sufficiently similar to his alleged acts of touching and masturbating before his 13-year-old stepdaughter and of touching and having sexual intercourse with her 14-year-old female friend); Hostetler v. State, 261 Ga. App. 237, 239, 582 S.E.2d 197 (1) (2003) (court properly admitted similar transaction evidence; defendant's prior acts of exposing himself and masturbating in places frequented by children were sufficiently similar to his alleged acts of exposing himself to and touching the breasts and genitals of a 9-year-old girl in a park).” Lynn v. State, 300 Ga.App. 170, 684 S.E.2d 325 (September 22, 2009). In defendant’s prosecution for aggravated child molestation (placing his mouth on step-daughter’s genitals), prior incident of “rubbing his private part” against girlfriend’s daughter’s thigh was sufficiently similar to admit. Evans v. State, 300 Ga.App. 180, 684 S.E.2d 311 (September 22, 2009). Where defendant, a psychotherapist, was charged with sexual contact with a patient, evidence of prior similar offense was properly admitted despite age differences of victims (32 year old versus 14 year old). “The prior transaction involved Evans's taking his pants off and rubbing his private part against a female patient in his office during a session in which he was counseling her as a psychotherapist. This was sufficiently similar to Evan's engaging in sexual intercourse with the female victim here in his office during a session in which he was counseling her as a psychotherapist.” See also Cline (October 27, 2009), above. Hilliard v. State, 298 Ga.App. 473, 680 S.E.2d 541 (June 23, 2009). At defendant’s trial for aggravated sexual battery and child molestation, trial court properly admitted “testimony of the victim's half-sister that the defendant had committed a similar act against her, even though the half-sister did not report the abuse until after the victim's initial outcry of abuse,” citing Cowan v. State, 279 Ga.App. 532, 532, 535(4), 631 S.E.2d 760 (2006) (similar facts). Payne v. State, 285 Ga. 137, 674 S.E.2d 298 (March 9, 2009). Affirming 290 Ga.App. 589, 660 S.E.2d 405 (March 26, 2008). Prior incident involving rape of an adult woman was properly admitted as similar transaction in child molesting trial. “Both victims were females with whom Payne had a personal relationship, as opposed to randomly chosen strangers. Both crimes were committed in the home where Payne was residing or had recently resided, and where he likely felt more comfortable than in public or a less familiar place. Both victims described similar sexual acts, including oral sodomy. Finally, both victims were physically restrained and threatened with physical violence.” Important that the child molestation case on trial involved physical force: “This is not the type of child molestation which depends upon mental manipulation, trickery or cajoling to adduce the child's consent. This was a series of violent acts in which the child victim was restrained, threatened, and physically forced to commit sexual acts. To hold that these cases are too dissimilar to constitute similar transaction evidence based solely on the difference in the victims' ages would ignore our precedent.” Citing with approval Kingsley (July 26, 2004), below. Hunstein, writing for Sears and Carley, dissents, criticizing admission of similar transaction evidence to prove “bent of mind” and “course of conduct.”Accord, Wright v. State , 314 Ga.App. 353, 723 S.E.2d 737 (February 27, 2012) (in prosecution for attempted rape of adult victim, prior offense involving a nine-year old victim that occurred when defendant was 14 properly admitted, citing Payne ). Kent v. State, 294 Ga.App. 134, 668 S.E.2d 442 (September 16, 2008). In prosecution for rape of mentally-retarded adult, evidence of prior conviction for sexual offense against child was properly admitted as demonstrating “Kent's tendency to sexually assault individuals of limited mental capacity.” Birkbeck v. State, 292 Ga.App. 424, 665 S.E.2d 354 (June 18, 2008). At defendant’s trial for child molestation, trial court properly admitted “evidence that [defendant] was having clandestine sex with a high school student who shaved her pubic area at his request.” “Georgia courts have held that evidence of the defendant’s consensual legal sexual conduct may be admissible to show his bent of mind and lustful disposition toward minors. See Phagan v. State, 268 Ga. 272, 279(4) (486 S.E.2d 876) (1997); Mills v. State, 251 Ga.App. 39, 39-40(1) (553 S.E.2d 353) (2001).” Accord, Martin v. State , 294 Ga.App. 117, 668 S.E.2d 549 (October 20, 2008). Romo v. State, 288 Ga.App. 237, 653 S.E.2d 832 (November 5, 2007). At defendant’s trial for sexual battery, prior act of indecent exposure was properly admitted as similar transaction: “The evidence shows that during both incidents, Romo
