- holding that the district court did not violate defendant’s right to present evidence when it prohibited him from cross-examining the victim about later instances of sexual abuse under the theory that the victim was projecting false allegations onto the defendant
- involving a specifically documented prior sexual assault by another individual, though we held that admission was not constitutionally required
- upholding exclusion of child victim’s other sexual abuse and distinguishing Bear Stops as permitting evidence where young child’s unusual behavior could be explained no other way
- distinguishing Bear Stops in part based on timing
