Opinion

ORDER

Ashly Hampton appeals the circuit courts judgment, entered on a jury verdict, convicting him of statutory sodomy in the first degree (Section 566.062, RSMo); enticement of a child (Section 566.151, RSMo); child molestation in the second degree (Section 566.068, RSMo); and two counts of furnishing pornography (Section 573.040, RSMo). Hampton contends the circuit court abused its discretion in overruling objections to the victims testimony about an incident involving Hamptons girlfriend, the girlfriends threat, and the victims fear of the girlfriend, arguing the incident was irrelevant to Hamptons guilt of the charged offenses and only served to bolster the victims credibility, thereby violating Hamptons due process right to a fair trial. We affirm. Rule 30.25(b).
