How courts have described this case

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

concluding the victim’s testimony of prior sexual abuse was “sufficiently credibly and detailed” to constitute clear proof of the acts without corroboration
“Adding a corroboration requirement to our clear proof rules is not necessary to accomplish the purpose behind the rule when a victim’s testimony, standing alone, satisfies the requirement of clear proof.”
stating the district court has broad discretion in ruling on for cause challenges
victim’s testimony of prior instances of sexual abuse committed by defendant upon her is admissible
“Because the victim’s testimony constituted clear proof of the prior instances of sexual abuse, the district court did not abuse its discretion when it refused to exclude the testimony.”
