Relates to admitting evidence of similar crimes in sexual offense cases

This bill allows courts to admit evidence of a defendant's prior sexual offenses in current sexual offense trials, provided the evidence helps prove motive, intent, or identity. It requires prosecutors to share details about these prior acts with the defense at least fifteen days before the trial begins. The law also mandates that judges ensure the value of this evidence outweighs any unfair prejudice to the defendant before allowing it. By defining specific crimes as "sexual offenses," the bill clarifies which prior acts are eligible for admission under these new rules.
