- finding that the defendant was not entitled to reversal of his conviction where he failed to offer concrete evidence that the victim made a prior false accusation of sexual abuse
- holding that the defendant’s offer of proof was insufficient because “defense counsel had no idea whether the prior accusation was true or false . . . [and instead] merely wished to engage in a fishing expedition . . . to uncover some basis for arguing that the prior accusation was false.”
