State v. Makins

Syllabus

Ontario Stefon Patrick Makins was convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor. The court of appeals reversed the conviction, holding a therapist's affirmation she treated the minor victim improperly bolstered the minor's credibility. We reverse the court of appeals and reinstate the conviction, holding the treating therapist's mere affirmation she treated the minor, without more, did not constitute improper bolstering.
