State v. Michael R.

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions arising from the sexual abuse and exploitation of a child, physical abuse, protective-order violations, and stalking. It upheld joinder because the evidence was cross admissible and concluded that the nude photographs were neither unconstitutionally vague to criminalize nor protected expression because they were harmful to minors. Although the trial court improperly restricted some cross-examination and excluded forensic-interview recordings, the errors were harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, and the evidence was sufficient on the challenged convictions. No separate opinions were filed.
