v.

VINCENT ROBINSON

ALEXANDER, J.

	[¶1]  Vincent Robinson appeals from a judgment of the Superior
Court (Penobscot County, Mead, J.) after a jury verdict convicting him of two
counts of gross sexual assault (Class A), 17-A M.R.S.A. § 253 (Supp. 1998),
and one count of criminal restraint (Class D), 17-A M.R.S.A. § 302 (1983 &
Supp. 1998).  On appeal, Robinson argues that the Superior Court (1) erred
in denying his motion to suppress the complainant's in-court identification;
(2) erred in excluding Department of Human Services (DHS) records that
were offered to indicate a potential alternative perpetrator; and (3) abused
its discretion in not admitting the same DHS records to rebut an inference
of the complainant's sexual inexperience.
