UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Heard May 7, 2014
Appeal From Oconee County J. Cordell Maddox, Jr., Circuit Court Judge
Appellate Defender David Alexander, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Ellis Roberts, both of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM
Steven Gregory Frost appeals his conviction for first-degree criminal sexual conduct (CSC) with a minor less than eleven years of age. Frost argues the trial court erred in requiring the jury to make a finding under section 16-3-655 of the South Carolina Code (Supp. 2013) that he committed CSC by "intrusion by an object." We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Byers, 392 S.C. 438, 444, 710 S.E.2d 55, 58 (2011) (holding that for an objection to be preserved for appellate review, the objection must be made "with sufficient specificity to inform the circuit court judge of the point being urged by the objector" (citing Wilder Corp. v. Wilke, 330 S.C. 71, 76, 497 S.E.2d 731, 733 (1998))); State v. Dunbar, 356 S.C. 138, 142, 587 S.E.2d 691, 693-94 (2003) ("Issues not raised and ruled upon in the trial court will not be considered on appeal."); id. at 142, 587 S.E.2d at 694 ("A party may not argue one ground at trial and an alternate ground on appeal."); State v. Carlson, 363 S.C. 586, 597, 611 S.E.2d 283, 288 (Ct. App. 2005) ("Arguments not raised to or ruled upon by the trial court are not preserved for appellate review.").
AFFIRMED.
