How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that prior acts were sufficiently similar to the charged offenses because each involved acts against minor girls of similar ages and had similar allegations
• noting that the trial court gave limiting instructions on the admission of a prior conviction in a child molestation case, which has a comparable federal statute, thus minimizing the risk of prejudice
• noting that the probative value of defendant’s prior conviction was not substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice, in part, because the trial court gave a limiting instruction to reduce the risk of undue prejudice
• act committed 17 years prior to trial was admissible
• act committed 17 years prior to trial was admissible
• evidence that a defendant engaged in child molestation in the past was relevant to show, among other things, that the defendant had “a disposition of character that makes it more likely that he did commit the act of child molestation charged in the instant case.”
