The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[A] hearing should be held by the court outside the presence of the jury prior to the presentation of the evidence. This hearing should be preceded by a written motion or offer of proof on the record, made without the jury’s knowledge, which should include the matters sought to be proved by either cross-examination of the complaining witness or by other witnesses. Either of these should make reference to specific records or documents which may be relied upon. If the defendant alleges that profferred [sic] evidence falls into one of the above ex ceptions, the trial court should allow its admission if it is not too remote and appears credible.”

2. “The victim had contracted a venereal disease from her boyfriend. In order to prevent her mother from discovering that she had been having sexual intercourse with her boyfriend, she concocted the story of the rape. Thus, when her mother found out about the venereal disease, she could say she got it from appellant and her mother would be none the wiser.”
