Criminal Action: Third Degree Sexual Assault of a Child
Action Taken by Trial Court: Following a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of third degree sexual assault of a child. The district court sentenced Appellant to 3 years’ imprisonment followed by 18 months’ post-release supervision.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: Appellant contends that the district court erred in (1) admitting into evidence the video-recorded forensic interview of the victim which contained hearsay statements; and (2) in receiving evidence of other wrongs or bad acts in violation of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 27-403 (Reissue 2016).
