• holding that the trial court did not commit constitutional error by excluding evidence about the pri- or rape of the ten-year-old victim when she was five years old because the defendant did not proffer evidence that the prior rape was similar to the current incident
• discussing the different responses of courts to the sexual innocence inference theory
• on habeas review, finding no constitutional error in trial court’s exclusion of evidence of the complainant’s prior allegations of sexual abuse, as the petitioner “had no proof that any of [complainant’s] other sexual abuse allegations were demonstrably false”
