• 2018 Ohio 3623

Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in permitting the state to cross-examine a defense witness about a prior specific instance of appellant's conduct where appellant opened the door to the character evidence by questioning the witness about appellant's character for appropriate behavior with women. Furthermore, appellant's conviction for sexual imposition was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
