Mark Hodge appeals a judgment convicting him of repeated sexual assault of the same child. Hodge also appeals the order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Hodge argues the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion by permitting evidence of the child’s character for truthfulness. Hodge also contends his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to provide evidence of the child’s poor character for truthfulness. We reject these arguments and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.

Dist III, Marathon County, Grau, J., Per Curiam

Attorneys:

For Appellant: Steven D. Phillips, Madison

For Respondent: Jill N. Falstad, Wausau; Peggy A. Lautenschlager, Madison; Eileen W. Pray, Madison
