Evidence — other acts

Will Haywood appeals judgments of conviction, entered following a jury trial, for three counts each of kidnapping, second-degree sexual assault, and first-degree sexual assault, and two counts of child enticement. He argues that the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion when it allowed the State to introduce other acts evidence relating to a sexual assault charge of which he was acquitted. We conclude that there was no error in the admission of the challenged evidence and that even if there was error, it was harmless. Therefore, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
