What is the difference between charged and uncharged sex crimes?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Loy, S076175 (Cal. 2011):
put it, "[t]he charged and uncharged crimes need not be sufficiently similar that evidence of the latter would be admissible under Evidence Code section 1101, otherwise Evidence Code section 1108 would serve no purpose. It is enough the charged and uncharged offenses are sex offenses as defined in section 1108." (People v. Frazier (2001) 89 Cal.App.4th 30, 40-41.)
