How courts have described this case

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

• declining to consider on appeal whether the defendant’s prior conviction would have been admissible under Rule 404 (b) when at no point had the State sought to admit the prior conviction under this provision, and the trial court had not ruled on its admission under Rule 404 (b)
• “a trial court’s decision to admit other acts evidence will be overturned only [when] there is a clear abuse of discretion”
• “[T]he age of consent in Georgia is 16. Consequently, generally speaking, it is not a crime in Georgia to have physical sexual contact with a willing participant who is 16 years of age or older.”
• even though a trial court's oral instruction stated that a child was \unable to consent\ to intercourse, a reinstruction and the remainder of the charge properly \required the State to prove lack of consent and made no mention of an underage victim's inability to consent to sexual conduct\
