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

• concluding that prior act evidence of events thirteen years earlier was “sufficiently similar to the charged conduct to render it probative despite the passage of time”
• finding that “past conduct need not be identical to the conduct charged, but instead need only be similar enough to be probative of intent”
• holding that a seventeen-year- old foreign student who had only been with his host parent for a few weeks before being sexually assaulted was a vulnerable victim, even though he was sexually experienced, called home several times, and knew people in the United States
• affirming an award of restitution for the full fraud scheme even though the defendant only pled guilty to two counts thereof
• explaining that other acts “need not be identical to the conduct charged”
• providing that “the testimony 3 of a single witness can be sufficient”
