Dеfendant appeals as of right his conviction of criminal sexual conduct in the second degree, MCL 750.520c; MSA 78.788(3). Defendant was tried before a jury in Detroit Recorder’s Court and sentenced to from ten to fifteen years in the state penitentiary.
During the early morning hours of June 29, 1985, the complainant, an eleven-year-old girl, was asleep in her bed with her sister when a man entered her room, tripped on some clothes and fell against her bed. She woke up and looked at his face. The man put some covers on her and left the room. He returned about a minute later, got on top of her, and grabbed her buttock. She managed to struggle free and call her mother at which time the man ran out of her room. He ran toward the back door, while the complainant ran toward her mother’s room near the front of the house.
The complainant woke her stepfather. He and her cousin searched the house but did not find anyone and the stepfather went back to bed. Shortly after returning to bed, the complainant’s *146 stepfather heard a noise in the basement and called the рolice. Complainant described the man to her mother and stepfather as someone they knew from the neighborhood. She said that he had a green Cadillac and wore a hat that had the words "Get Paid” on it. At trial the girl’s mother testified that she recognized the description of the man. The police arrived at the complainant’s house at apprоximately 6:45 a.m. and found a basement window open and the screen removed. The police, with the complainant and her mother, went over to the house where the complainant said the man lived. The mother went in and got the name "Quinton” from a young girl in the house. The police subsequently arrested the defendant and placed him in a line-up. The complаinant picked out the defendant with no hesitation.
The defendant, on appeal, has raised a number of questions concerning, among other things, the prosecutor’s comments in final argument, the trial court’s decisions regarding the competency of witnesses and the production of evidence, the trial court’s interruption of defense counsel during cross-examination, the final instructions to the jury, the identification procedure, and sentencing. We affirm.

The issue which requires the greatest discussion relates to the trial judge’s failure to give in full the language from Criminal Jury Instruction 3:1:18 concerning the jury’s procedures in deliberations and verdict. The trial judge, after advising the jury that the matter of punishment was not within the province of the jury, stated:
When you retire to the Jury Room, you will elect a foreperson who will preside over your *147 deliberations and who will be your spokesperson in court.
Upon the count in the Information charging Criminal Sexual Conduct in the Second Degree, you may find the defendant guilty or you may find him not guilty.
And I am confident you know that in order to render a verdict, your decision will have to be unanimous.
And I would again remind you this matter is not to be discussed except when you are all assembled in the Jury Deliberation Room.
Before the jury was sent out to deliberate, the trial judge inquired of each counsel if there were any omissions or misstatements and both indicated that there were none.
Defendant claims that because five of the jurors had previously served on other juries they would influence the other jurors by reason оf their experience. Defendant contends that the trial judge erred so as to require reversal by failing to advise the jurors that they must not sacrifice their own independent judgment for the sake of unanimity. Defendant admits that the jury was polled, but claims that the record is silent as to juror peer pressure.
Defendant argues that the instruction should have been the same as that contained in
People v Sullivan,
In
People v Hardin,
There is absolutely no indication in People v *148 Sullivan that coercion is not a relevant inquiry. In Sullivan, we simply held that the coercive effect of an Allen [Allen v United States,164 US 492 ;17 S Ct 154 ;41 L Ed 528 (1896)] charge can be eliminated. Moreover, our statement to the effect that substantial departure from aba instruction 5.4 shall be grounds for reversiblе error does not eliminate the relevancy of coercion to the ascertainment of whether the departure is "substantial.”
Indeed, in People v Goldsmith,411 Mich 555 ;309 NW2d 182 (1981) (per curiam), this Court impliedly recognized that even aba instruction 5.4 was somewhat coercive. We issued the opinion in People v Goldsmith to make it clear that a proper Sullivan instruction may be given as part of the main charge to the jury. We asserted that the effect of delivering the aba сharge prior to deliberations differed from its effect when given in a deadlocked situation. "When given during the original instructions, the aba charge’s coercive impact upon the jury is greatly diminished.” Id., p 559. [Emphasis changed.]
We might note that in
People v Petrella,
Moreover, we remind the bench and bar once again that the Michigan Criminal Jury Instructions do not have the official sanction of this Court. Their use is not required, and trial judges are encouraged to examine them carefully before using them, in order to insure their accuracy and appropriateness to the case at hand.
The Sullivan case, supra, dealt solely with a supplemental instruction relating to a jury which had deadlocked or appeared to be having problems arriving at a verdict. The Sullivan Court discussed the ABA Project on Minimum Standards for Crim *149 inal Justiсe, noting the standards relating to trial by jury were approved by the House of Delegates in 1968. Section 5.4, which is set forth in Sullivan, supra, p 335, is substantially the same language as contained in CJI 3:1:18. We might note that the Criminal Jury Instruction Committee on August 5, 1985, added CJI 3:1:18A, dealing with a deadlocked jury, which adds some additional language indicating that the jury has returned from deliberations with an inability to reach a verdict.
Thе tentative draft of the ABA Project on Minimum Standards for Criminal Justice printed in May, 1968, has little discussion other than to say that, as to section 5.4(a),
for the reasons set forth in the commentary to section 5.4(b), infra, the advisory committee has concluded that the instruction commonly referred to as the Allen charge, or "dynamite” charge should not be given to a jury which has been unable tо agree after some deliberations. Nonetheless, it is most appropriate for the court to instruct the jury initially as to the nature of its duties in the course of deliberations, and section 5.4(a) so provides. The standard does not require the use of any particular language, but does identify the five points on which the jury might properly be advised.
The aba committеe notes that the instruction proposed is similar to instruction 8.11 of Jury Instructions and Forms for Federal Criminal Cases, 27 FRD 97-98 (1961), which in addition to the language proposed in 5.4(a) indicated: "You are not partisans. You are judges — judges of the facts. Your sole interest is to ascertain the truth from the evidence in the case.” The committee goes on to note that the chargе proposed makes no reference to a minority and instead requires that all *150 jurors consult with one another. The committee felt that the proposed instruction did not have the coercive impact of the Allen charge. The committee notes that in Burroughs v United States, 365 F2d 431 (CA 10, 1966), the practice provided for in section 5.4(a) was recommended. However, we note that in the Burroughs case the defendant challеnged the trial court’s instruction because the court put a limit on the length of time for deliberation by the jury. The issue was raised as to the coerciveness of the instruction in that case.
The same issue was dealt with in People v Janice Davis, supra, where a challenge was raised as to the coercive effect, of the original instruction by the trial judge. While the panel dealt with the language of CJI 3:1:18 in referring to the aba рroposed instruction, we are satisfied that this case is distinguishable from the Janice Davis case because there was no coercion in the instruction given by the trial judge.
In
State v Watkins,
99 Wash 2d 166, 175;
MCR 2.516(B)(3) provides:
After the arguments are completed, the court shall instruct the jury on thе applicable law, the issues presented by the case, and, if a party re *151 quests as provided in subrule (A)(2), that party’s theory of the case. The court may, in its discretion, make comments on the evidence, the testimony, and the character of the witnesses as the interests of justice require.
In the proposed rules of criminal procedure found at 422A Mich 148, MCR 6.407(G) wоuld, if adopted, set up language under the rules of criminal procedure but that language shows "after closing arguments are made or waived, the court shall instruct the jury as required or permitted by law, but if the parties consent, the court may instruct the jury before the parties make closing argument.”
Defendant raises a number of other objections concerning the trial court’s instructions on reasonable doubt and failure to instruct on alibi and lesser included offenses. As noted above, no timely objection was raised to the instructions and for error to result in reversal there must be either timely objection or manifest injustice.
People v Jones,
Specifically on reasonable doubt, defendant takes exception to the trial court’s use of "rely and act upon in the most important of your own affairs” in the instructions on reasonable doubt. In
People v Davis,
*152
Defendant claims that the trial judge should have given the "perfect defense” instruction for alibi, but this Court has ruled in
People v Prophet,
Appellate counsel in this сase claims that the trial court should have sua sponte given an instruction on lesser included offenses even though trial counsel requested that no instructions be given on lesser included offenses and made no objection when the trial court did not give any such instruction. In
People v Pixler,
ii
Defendant has raised a number of other questions on appeal with which we will deal briefly.
Defendant objects to the prosecutor’s use of the word "rape” in both his opening and closing arguments to the jury. Defense counsel objected to the prosecutor’s referring to thе victim’s identification of defendant as the "one who tried to rape me” but that statement was in fact brought out in the victim’s testimony and she was referred back to the preliminary examination where she stated: "I almost got raped.” We agree that a prosecutor cannot place unfounded prejudicial statements into the trial proceedings, but we find that the statements regarding rape by the prosecutor in this case were not unfounded.
People v Williams,
*153
Defendant also claims that the trial court erred in finding that the complainant, an eleven-year-old girl, was competent to testify and also argues that counsel should have been given an opportunity to examine the witness concerning her competence to testify. MCL 600.2163; MSA 27A.2163 requires the court to determine the competency of a child under ten years of age and thus would not be applicable to this case. Further, MRE 601 contains a presumption of competency for every witness unless the court finds the person to be incompetent.
People v Draper,
Defendant also objects that the trial court allowed a police officer to testify from his police report, over defense objection, without a proper showing that he needed his memory refreshed or lacked knowledge of the case. We find that the trial court erred, but the errоr was harmless.
People v Paintman,
Defendant further argues that the discussion concerning deletion of a statement concerning the term "rape” in the line-up sheet introduced as Exhibit 3 was prejudicial in that it was discussed in front of the jury. However, defendant has failed to offer any support for the conclusion that such discussion results in error requiring reversal. Case law would indicate that, as long as the statement objected to was not read in front of the jury, it is not prejudicial to argue as to its inadmissibility.
Schweim v Johnson,
Defendant argues that the judge’s interruptions in defense counsel’s cross-examination prejudiced the jury against the defendant and caused the defense counsel to abandon an important line of questioning. MRE 611(a) provides the court with broad power to control the interrogation of witnesses in a case. The Supreme Court in
People v Fleish,
So far as thе cross-examination of a witness relates either to facts at issue or relevant facts, it is a matter of right; but when its object is to ascertain the accuracy or credibility of a witness, its method and duration are subject to the discretion of the trial judge and, unless abused, its exercise is not the subject of review.
In
People v Taylor,
*155 in
Defendant on appeal also argues that the line-up in this case was impermissibly suggestive because it contained no other men from the neighborhood and the police told the complainant that the suspect was in the line-up. Defendant would further argue that the withholding of evidence with regard to the identification procedure denied defendant due process of law.
Trial counsel raised no objection to the identification during trial and made no motion to suppress the identification testimony. In
People v Lee,
Even if the line-up were shown to be suggestive, the facts of this case show that under the
Kachar
guidelines, there is an independent basis for the in-court identification.
People v Kachar,
Defendant’s argument that he may have been denied effective assistance of counsel at the line-up cannot be reviewed here because no motion was made to suppress the identification or for an evidentiary hearing at trial. Defendant’s complaint that no other men from the neighborhood were in the line-up was information that could have been readily obtainable from the defendant. We find no error.
IV
Finally, defendant complains about a sentence of from ten to fifteen years where the sentencing guidelines recommended a minimum of forty-two to sixty months. The trial judge adequately statеd the reasons for imposing a harsher sentence, noting that defendant had just got out of prison, was on parole, and defendant was in a house exploiting a small child. The trial judge also noted that defendant had a prior criminal record. Defense counsel objects that those items are already dealt with in the sentencing guidelines.
In
People v Kenneth
Johnson,
It is not an abuse of discrеtion for the trial court to rely on some of the same factors already considered in the sentencing guidelines as a basis for *157 departing from the recommended minimum sentence range. The sentencing judge may justifiably conclude that the guidelines give inadequate weight to certain factors or that the facts of the case warrant a more severe sentence.
The trial judge in sentencing noted that this was defendant’s fourth felony conviction and the trial judge was not even mentioning defendant’s one misdemeanor conviction. In addition, the trial judge felt that the exploitation of an eleven-year-old child was inexcusable. We are not shocked by the sentence given and see no need to determine whether the sentencing guidelines scores were accurately computed.
Affirmed.
