People v. Braddy

Defendant was charged with criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse as to his minor daughter and his girlfriend's minor daughter. Court did not err in admitting testimony of Defendant's sister that, 20 years prior, Defendant had sexually abused her. Factual differences between abuse alleged by sister and charged crimes were not significant, and involved Defendant abusing children living in his household with whom he had familiar relationship. Court properly considered statutory factors in finding that sister's testimony was more probative than prejudicial. (CATES and GOLDENHERSH, concurring.)
