DYKMAN, J.

John DeSantis appeals from a judgment convicting him of second-degree sexual assault, contrary to sec. 940.225(2)(a), Stats. At trial, the court allowed a sexual assault counselor to testify as to the general behavior of sexual assault victims. The court did not allow a witness to testify regarding the complainant's allegedly untruthful prior sexual assault allegation, and did not allow DeSantis to cross-examine the complainant on this point.
