P. v. Martin CA1/4
Appellant, a former elementary school teacher, was convicted by a jury of 17 counts of lewd conduct with boys under the age of 14 (Pen. Code § 288, subd. (a)) and two counts of lewd conduct with a boy who was 14 or 15 when appellant was more than 10 years his senior (§ 288, subd. (c)(1)). He was sentenced to an aggregate 12-year prison term. In this court, appellant contends the trial court committed reversible errors by admitting expert testimony regarding (1) the “profile” of a sex offender; (2) the immutability of a sexual attraction to young children; and (3) the low percentage of child sex abuse allegations that turn out to be false. Appellant further contends he was prejudiced by improper remarks the prosecutor made during his closing argument. We reject these contentions and affirm the judgment.
