“Members of the jury, this defendant has been charged with gross sexual assault or unlawful sexual contact specifically by indictment on two separate occasions in November on or about November 1991 and May 1992. Any reference to any other events or touchings similar to the offense charged may not be introduced for the purpose of proving the character of the defendant in order to show that he acted in conformity there on this or these occasions. However, evidence of other events may be introduced to show the relationship between the parties, which may shed light upon his motives or attractions to a victim or his intent; in other words, whether it was done on purpose or absence of a mistake, whether there' was an opportunity. And any relationship between the victim may be admissible only for that purpose. You may proceed.”
