PER CURIAM.
Defendant was convicted of taking indecent liberties with a ten-year-old girl by a trial judge sitting without a jury. MCLA § 750.336 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.568). The victim testified that defendant, while visiting in her parents' home, touched her breasts, disrobed her, forced her to lie down, positioned himself on top of her, and made *444 overtly sexual movements while reclining thus. An older sister of the victim, returning home from shopping, found defendant and the victim together in a bedroom. As the older sister looked into the bedroom, the victim was pulling up her undergarments and slacks. The complainant was unable to testify whether defendant had effected genital penetration during the assault. A policewoman who interviewed the victim two days after the incident gave testimony which was largely cumulative of that given by the complainant. However, the policewoman related to the court that the child told her that defendant choked her during the assault and that he did, indeed, accomplish a penetration.
Defendant assigns as error the admission of the policewoman's hearsay testimony as to what the victim told her regarding the incident. In sex offenses, hearsay statements made by a victim of tender years to a witness who subsequently testifies to the content of these declarations are admissible as part of the res gestae of the crime if the delay from the time of the incident to the time of the conversation is adequately explained. People v. Baker (1930), 251 Mich 322; People v. Davison (1968), 12 Mich App 429.[1] However, we feel it is unnecessary to determine if this concededly hearsay testimony is admissible as a segment of the continuing res gestae of the crime; we hold that the error, if any, is harmless. The admission of hearsay is rendered harmless when the declarant of the out-of-court statement testifies to and substantiates the incompetent evidence. People v. Hallaway (1970), 25 Mich App 604. The testimony of the policewoman was *445 largely cumulative of that of the victim.[2] Where inadmissible hearsay of this nature is presented to a trial court sitting alone, we can assume that its verdict rested upon evidence properly offered and not upon the inadmissible testimony. People v. Davison, supra, at 433.
Further, defendant attacks the constitutionality of the indecent liberties statute as unduly vague.[3] We cannot accept this contention. The legislation penalizes conduct that is of such character that the common sense of society regards it as indecent and improper. People v. Hicks (1893), 98 Mich 86; People v. Szymanski (1948), 321 Mich 248; People v. Healy (1933), 265 Mich 317; People v. Visel (1936), 275 Mich 77; People v. Lakin (1938), 286 Mich 282; People v. Brandt (1969), 18 Mich App 267; People v. Dexter (1967), 6 Mich App 247; Armstrong v. Bannan (CA 6, 1959), 272 F2d 577. A penal statute, proscribing sexually-offensive, anti-social conduct, is not unconstitutionally ambiguous because it fails "* * * to graphically outline the acts encompassed by the crime * * *". People v. Green (1968), 14 Mich App 250, 251.[4]
Finally, defendant took the stand to deny the allegations of the complainant. The prosecutor on cross-examination and for the purposes of testing *446 defendant's credibility brought defendant's past convictions to light. It remains the law of Michigan that, whenever a defendant chooses to testify, his past convictions may be used by the prosecution to impeach his credibility. MCLA § 600.2158 (Stat Ann 1962 Rev § 27A.2158); People v. DiPaolo (1962), 366 Mich 394; People v. Cybulski (1968), 11 Mich App 244; People v. Roney (1967), 7 Mich App 678.
The final allegation of error is that the trial court failed to make specific findings of fact at the conclusion of the case. While GCR 1963, 517.1, requires the court in a nonjury case or in a case tried with an advisory jury to make findings of fact and state separately its conclusions of law thereon, this court rule does not apply to criminal cases.
Affirmed.
NOTES
[1]  The prosecution attempts to justify the two-day lag in reporting the complaint by the victim by alluding to the fact that the victim told the policewoman that defendant said he would choke her if she "hollered".
[2]  That the policewoman indicated that defendant entered the victim is not, in and of itself, significant since this fact need not be proven in an indecent liberties prosecution. The testimony as to penetration cannot be said to have influenced the outcome.
[3]  Defendant also challenges the statute as unconstitutionally discriminatory; we find this totally without merit. While the legislation originally punished the misconduct of males only, the legislation was amended in 1954 to include females. PA 1954, No 51, § 1. Defendant's prosecution is under this later, amended version.
[4]  See also, People v. McMurchy (1930), 249 Mich 147, 178, 179, in which it is noted that some crimes by their very nature must necessarily be couched in broad language so that the legislation can accomplish its end of proscribing socially undesirable conduct. No legislation of this genus could ever possibly recite a litany of wrong-doing for which one remained criminally responsible.
