OPINION

CRONE, Judge.

Otho L. Lafayette appeals his convictions for class A felony rape, class B felony criminal confinement, and class C felony intimidation, as well as his repeat sexual offender status. Lafayette contends that the trial court committed reversible error in admitting the testimony of a woman he attempted to rape in 1997. We agree and therefore reverse Lafayette's convictions and remand for a new trial.
