Pearson, Barkdull, Swann (per curiam)

PER CURIAM.

Appellant seeks review of his conviction, after a non-jury trial, of a lewd ‍​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‍and lascivious or indecent assault without intending to commit rape upon a female minor under the age of fourteen years, in violation of § 800.4, Fla. Stat., F.S.A. The only point preserved for review on this appeal is the sufficiency of the evidence to ‍​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‍support the judgment of conviction. We affirm.

Conflicting evidence was presented to the trier of fact; it was within his province to resolve the conflicts. Eizenman v. State, Fla.App. 1961, 132 So.2d 763; Hoover v. State, Fla.App. 1968, 212 So.2d 95. At this stage of ‍​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‍the proceeding, all conflicts and reasonable inferences therefrom are resolved in support of the judgment of conviction. Walden v. State, Fla.App. 1966, 191 So.2d 68; Shuler v. State, Fla. App. 1968, 213 So.2d 312. And, finding substantial competent evidence to support the trial judge‘s finding ‍​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‍of guilt, we are required to affirm. Williams v. State, Fla.App. 1966, 187 So.2d 913; Tafero v. State, Fla.App. 1969, 223 So.2d 564.

Affirmed.
