1. ““Defendant relies on several decisions from foreign jurisdictions in which courts have held that the proscriptions of their rape shield statutes must fall where a showing is made by defendant that the youthful victim’s prior sexual knowledge or conduct is relevant and its probative value outweighs its prejudicial effect. [Citations omitted.] We have reviewed these cases and others in which the admissibility of evidence of a victim’s prior sexual conduct was at issue and find that they do not support defendant’s position in this appeal. In each case in which the courts ruled that inquiry into the victim’s sexual history may be warranted, the defendant had made some preliminary showing that the victim’s prior experience was similar to the sexual conduct for which defendant had been tried.””
