Does the exclusion of a victim's sexual history under the Rape Shield Law deprive a defendant of a fair trial?

Appellant argues that he was denied the constitutional right to present "a complete defense" but it is settled that the neutral application of state law evidentiary rules does not violate a defendant's right to present a defense. (People v. Fudge (1994) 7 Cal.4th 1075, 1102-1103.) We reject the argument that the exclusion of a victim's sexual history under the Rape Shield Law denies a defendant a fair trial. (People v. Mestas, supra, 217 Cal.App.4th at p. 1517.) "'That limited exclusion no more deprives a defendant of a fair trial than do the rules of evidence barring hearsay, opinion evidence, and privileged communications.' [Citation.] Therefore, because the trial court may properly exclude all such evidence without violating a defendant's fair trial rights, there is no merit in the argument that not admitting some of the evidence under Evidence Code section 782 deprives the defendant of a fair trial."
