Syllabus

In a prosecution for pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting evidence of other uncharged images of child pornography found in the investigation because such evidence was relevant when offered to prove appellant's intent, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident under Evid.R. 404(B), the relevance of the evidence was not substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, and the trial court instructed the jury that the evidence could not be considered as proof of appellant's character trait and that he acted in conformity therewith. Judgment affirmed.
