Is there any case law where a defense sought to elicit evidence from the mother of a minor female who alleges she was sexually abused as a child?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Passineau, H036276 (Cal. App. 2012):

This is akin to the evidence found to have been properly excluded in People v. Adames (1997) 54 Cal.App.4th 198. In that case the defense sought to elicit evidence from the mother of a minor female who claimed to have been sexually molested that the mother herself had been molested as a child. (Id. at p. 208.) The appellate court upheld the trial court's exclusion of this evidence as marginally relevant and potentially confusing to the jury and found that there was no violation of the right of confrontation. (Id. at pp. 208-209.)
