“Reasonably means within the bounds of common sense. Contemporaneous means originating, or happening, during the same period of time. It is not common sense to say that events that happened almost three years apart were reasonably contemporaneous.”

In prosecutions for the crimes of rape, ... opinion and reputation evidence of the complaining witness’ prior sexual conduct is inadmissible; evidence of specific instances of the complaining witness’ prior sexual conduct or the absence of such instances or conduct is inadmissible, except where such specific instances are: (1) Evidence of the sexual conduct of the complaining witness with the defendant to prove consent and the evidence is reasonably contemporaneous with the date of the alleged crime; or (2) Evidence of specific instances of sexual activity showing alternative source or origin of semen, pregnancy or disease; (3) Evidence of immediate surrounding circumstances of the alleged crime; ...

1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. State v. Farmer“[S]ection 491.015 provides that evidence of specific instances of a victim’s prior sexual conduct is inadmissible except as provided in (1), (2), (3) and (4). In our view, Subsection 2 is directed only at the exceptions set forth in (1), (2), (3) and (4). Evidence offered under (1), (2), (3) and (4) is admissible only “to the extent that the court finds ... [it] relevant to a material fact or issue.” Insofar as they hold to the contrary, Brown and Ray should no longer be followed. If all “relevant” evidence were admissible, there would be no reason for (1), (2), (3) and (4).”
