The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“"The rationale for the exception to the usual exclusion of the evidence is to bolster the credibility of the prosecuting witness in a situation where the accusations or the acts standing alone seem improbable, or where the acts are crimes in continuando in nature and it is highly probable similar acts have occurred before or will occur after. State v. Robbins (1943), 221 Ind. 125 , 46 N.E.2d 691 . These elements are particularly prevalent in cases involving incest, sodomy or child molesting. Thus, application of the exception to permit admission of the evidence only in prosecutions for these crimes is understandable."”
