How courts have described this case

• concluding that where the victims were present in defendant’s apartment but defendant “consistently denied any sexual contact with his accusers” and “never offered an innocent explanation as to those specific acts,” his “intent was never at issue”
• holding the admission of NAMBLA affiliation was error because its only purpose was to demonstrate the defendant’s sexual tendencies
• noting the general 404(b) exceptions of motive, intent, absence of mistake or accident, common scheme or plan and identity, the court admitted prior bad acts evidence to show the defendant's amorous design
