“[E]vidence is being received that the defendant committed the crime of sexual assault of the first degree [in 1984]. This evidence should be considered only on the issues of motive and intent. You may not consider thatyou may not consider this evidence to conclude that the defendant has a certain character or a certain character trait and that he acted in conformity with that trait or character with respect to the offense charged in this case....

1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. State v. Tabor“Evidence has been received regarding other crimes committed by the defendant for which he is not on trial. Specifically, evidence has been received that the defendant had sexual contact with the genital area of his then nine year old sister in 1984. If you find that the conduct did occur, you should only consider it on the issue of motive and intent. . . . . The evidence must be approached with the highest degree of caution, and you must guard against the risk of concluding that because the defendant committed a crime of this nature in the past, he is guilty of the offense with which [he] is now charged.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Tabor“[Tabor] was motivated by a desire for sexual gratification. . . . . That's the element. And this evidence is directly pertinent to that because most folks wouldn't even remotely consider it sexually gratifying to have sexual relations with a small child. And so this is directly pertinent to that point. I don't have any trouble with the admissibility of it.”
