This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

D was convicted of molesting V.E., after hearing testimony from another girl who said D had molested her in the past and testimony from the victim regarding several other instances of molestation which were not charged. D was convicted and appealed. D's petition for transfer asks this Court to abandon the so-called 'depraved sexual instinct' exception under which evidence about these uncharged acts was admitted.
