Description
When a defendant is accused of a "sexual offense," Evidence Code section 1108*fn1 gives the trial court discretion to admit evidence of other sexual offenses the defendant committed. As relevant here, the statute defines sexual offense a crime or attempted crime that "involve[s]" "[a]ny conduct proscribed by" various other penal provisions, including Penal Code section 261, which defines the crime of rape. (§ 1108. subd. (d)(1).) We granted review primarily to decide whether a defendant tried for first degree felony murder, with rape the underlying felony, is accused of a sexual offense under this definition.
