Supreme Court of Alaska.

April 14, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Christine S. Schleuss, Suddock & Schleuss, Anchorage, for Petitioner.

John A. Scukanec, Assistant Attorney General, Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals, Anchorage, and Bruce M. Botelho, Attorney General, Juneau, for Respondent.

Before MATTHEWS, Chief Justice, EASTAUGH and FABE, Justices.

OPINION

EASTAUGH, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

We reverse Conrad Worthy's conviction for second-degree sexual assault and remand for retrial. Worthy should have been permitted to introduce extrinsic evidence challenging the truth of the complaining witness's allegation that another man had raped her on a prior occasion, because her prior allegation was a crucial part of the state's case against Worthy.
