Syllabus

The defendant, Helberth Perez, was indicted and convicted by a jury of six counts of first-degree sexual assault and three counts of second-degree sexual assault, relating to conduct involving his biological daughter. He appealed from the Superior Court judgment of conviction, arguing that certain testimony should have been precluded at trial and that the trial justice erred in denying his motion for judgment of acquittal on count 5 (second-degree sexual assault) of the indictment. On review, the Supreme Court vacated count 5 of the judgment of conviction and affirmed the judgment of the Superior Court in all other respects.
