Description
Simpson Queen was convicted by a jury of three counts of engaging in and attempting to engage in a sexual act involving contact between the penis and the vulva with a person under age twelve, in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 1153, 2241(c), 2246(2)(A) (West Supp. 1999), and one count of engaging in and attempting to engage in a sexual act involving contact between the mouth and the penis with a person under age twelve, in violation of 18 U.S.C.A.§§ 1153, 2241(c), 2246(2)(B) (West Supp. 1999). On appeal, Queen contends that: (1) the evidence was insufficient to sustain the convictions; (2) the district court erred by excluding evidence that the victim was abused by someone other than the Appellant years earlier; and (3) it was plain error for the court to permit an expert who did not treat or examine the victim to testify as to the diversity of reactions by children suffering from post-traumatic stress. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
