BAD CHARACTER EVIDENCE IN A SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE 

Not Mark, but my quick thought is that it would be difficult. First, that's someone else, not her. If she says that the family encouraged her to make a statement, or they were also witnesses in some way, maybe. But bad character evidence of someone else is rarely going to be admissible, without a pretty solid basis that she was put up to it in some way. And if you have that, you probably already have an acquittal. A minor secondary issue is that several times someone has said "oh they make false claims, it lost in court", I find that there hasn't been any helpful determination. The other criminal assault or harassment claims may have been dropped or diverted, but there was never any admission or finding it was false claim. I assume that would be the same with civil claims - they get resolved, but you don't have a judge make a finding or the complainant making the admission it was false. The reason a criminal conviction can be used is that is a court finding, whether after trial or by guilty plea. The courts consider that the most solid of all evidence.

The accuser called the police and an ambulance to say she had been "the R word." they did a test on her, and nothing was found. she later came clean that she made it up. This is all documented in disclosure

two false accusations confirmed by what? two convictions for defamation?
