Criminal Procedure — right to present defense — rape-shield law

Terrence Slama appeals his judgment of conviction and sentence, entered after he was found guilty following a jury trial of three counts of sexual assault. On appeal, Slama argues that he was denied his constitutional right to present a defense when the circuit court denied his pre-trial motion to introduce evidence that the victim had sexual intercourse with another individual approximately 24 hours before the alleged assault by Slama. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the judgment of the circuit court. This opinion will not be published.
