Utilizing the appropriate standard of review (People v. Kraft (2000) 23 Cal.4th 978, 1053), we find substantial evidence to support appellant's conviction for forcible sodomy, as Jodi testified that she felt appellant's penis inside her anus, she had bruises that substantiated her testimony, appellant's semen was found on her clothes, and appellant confessed that he inserted his penis into her anus.
