DYKMAN, J.

Jason Clark appeals from a judgment of conviction for physical abuse of a child, Angela H., contrary to sec. 948.03(2)(b), Stats. The issue is whether the trial court erred in admitting evidence that Clark had battered a previous girlfriend as proof of his intent to injure Angela. We conclude that the trial court properly exercised its discretion in allowing evidence of the prior bad act. Therefore, we affirm.
