Evidence: commercial sexual offenses.

Existing law provides that evidence of a person's character is inadmissible when offered to prove his or her conduct on a specified occasion. Existing law creates exceptions to that rule, including that in a criminal action in which the defendant is accused of a sexual offense, evidence of the defendant's commission of another sexual offense or offenses is not inadmissible under that rule, except as specified. Existing law defines the term "sexual offense" as conduct proscribed by various sections of the Penal Code as well as other types of conduct. This bill would include in the definition of "sexual offense" for this purpose specified human trafficking sexual offenses.
