• holding that “touching the butt over clothing” lacked sufficient similarity to “penile penetration of the sexual organ” and thus did not make it more or less probable that complainant lied
• providing that this standard applies when the accused complains that the exclusion of evidence denied him his constitutional right to a meaningful opportunity to present a defense
• observing that State did not emphasize testimony from expert
• noting that expert’s testimony was “not particularly powerful”
• noting that opinion was not particularly powerful
• age of declarant, who was fifteen when she reported a sexual assault to her cousin, weighed against finding of spontaneity
