California Court of Appeal

Defendant's conviction for rape and related crimes and imposition of sentence of 10 years' imprisonment is affirmed where: 1) the 10-year statute of limitations for the offenses of rape and sexual penetration with a foreign object did not expire, and the prosecution of defendant was timely; and 2) upon consideration of both the probative value of the evidence and its prejudicial effect, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting certain uncharged acts evidence under Evidence Code section 1108.
