PER CURIAM.
Affirmed.
Defendant, upon trial by jury, was convicted of sexual abuse in the second degree, ORS 163.415. His principal assignment of error is that the court erred in permitting two witnesses to relate out-of-court statements of the complaining witness. The error, if any, was harmless because defendant's version of the facts as voluntarily stated to a police officer and another witness was substantially the same as the out-of-court statements of the complaining witness.
Affirmed.
