Description
His contentions of error include (1) an attack on the validity of § 491.015, RSMo 1978, popularly known as the rape shield statute, contending it is violative of various provisions of the United States and Missouri Constitutions and that the trial court improperly excluded certain evidence under the "invalid" statute. It is this challenge to the statutes constitutionality that brings the appeal to our Court under Art. V, § 3, Mo. Const. Defendant further complains the trial court erroneously (2) permitted the cause to go to the jury, as there was no corroboration of the victims allegedly inconsistent testimony; (3) failed to instruct the jury on the offense of sexual abuse in the third degree, § 566.120, RSMo 1978; (4) admitted hearsay evidence; (5) limited cross-examination of the victim; and (6) refused to conduct a hearing as to the voluntariness of the victims testimony.
